[ Circle of Darkness ]
Time was when chaos ruled, where only the best survived. Humans were rare, as were kindness. Dragons ruled the realm, and humans were nothing but toys. Luck as it would have been, a powerful mage was born. Razm was his name. Unknown to any, he was nothing but a pet to Tysih, a pearl dragon.
As he grew, he learned trade and tricks from his master. Using a powerful and very difficult trick, he gained control of Tysih by means of Charm Dragon. He gained ranks and influence rapidly among his human peers as well as in the world. He kept control of his "master" until it was no longer needed. By then, he was well known, and one of the most dangerous dragon-slayer in the land. He kills not by his strength but his high mental prowess. Slowly, he moved through the land, freeing humans from enslavement. He defeated most of them, while the rest fleeing to the lower planes. When it was time for him to die, he was given immortality, and respected by everybody. He was responsible for many things, include the establishment of Darkhaven, the first human city.

Centuries later, Darkhaven was at its peak, as were human power. Forgotten about history, people were spoiled. Darkhaven, while prosperous, was one of the most corrupted cities in the realm. Taking advantage, Pwon quickly climbed the ranks of the social ladder with his vast wealth. Little did anyone know he was a dragon hiding as a human. His deep hatred for human kind propelled him murder many "criminals" - ones that discover his dark secret. Soon, he was the king of the human world. With that, he took armies to suicide missions, promising even more gold and treasure. Quickly, humankind as a whole grew weaker by the moment.
Only Larry stood between Pwon's way to conquer. Larry was considered a fool by many, being the only one to publicly criticize Pwon. Larry was no fool, however, as he was a mighty warrior. Many have heard stories of his battles with dragons. While not a master of magic, he has known to entertain common folks with cantrips and other more complicated spells. His perception was second to none, but no one wanted to believe the foul words he was spitting when everyone's doing so well.
It was time. Time to wake up. Attempts at invasions were everywhere. Many great cities now lie in ruins. Once again, men have to live underground. Perhaps there was a sigh of relief when news of Larry slaying Pwon arrived, but it was too little, too late. Cities were dying by the day. After three years of war, only one city was left - Dsychia. It was here that legends were born. Larry and his many sons, reside here, everyday fighting the dragons. When Larry died after a glorious battle with Wek, a red dragon, he was given immortality.

Dsychia, the land known for making heroes, isn't so easy on its people. Many years ago, an arena was created to toughen warriors. Being built on sacred grounds, it is impossible to die. This makes Dsychia the best training ground in the world. Dsychia had been holding its ground against the invading dragons for more than five decades, and humankind's last hope.

Nuke was perhaps the best human king. Fair while ruled with a strong grip, he was able to hold respect from everyone - even non-humans. Legends had it that Nuke was Larry older brother and there's no denying it. Ever since Nuke died of age ( and was giving immortality ), corruption rules the land. A strong ruler was needed to stop it from spreading. Darkhaven, Dsychia, Poyion, Waipow, are just names of a few cities of the land, a powerful leader is needed, one that is strong, yet understanding. Kingdoms and cities are being destroyed as quickly as they are built. Fractions were formed, and there can only be one. One who's powerful enough to unite humankind from impending doom.
