A place where all manner of scum fester and thrive. horrible monstrosities roam the Continent in a hunt for blood and death. The land is on the brink of full scale war between the two most powerful factions. Sickness also runs rapid. And the mist, The god afoul black mist that now blankets Ensiferum from as far south as the Red Desert to as far north as the Mountains of Madness.<br/><br/>Though, Ensiferum was not always like this. The sun once shined down on the land with bright waves of life bringing light and warmth. The races and peoples of the Land shared loving peace with one another. The birds would sing and children would play, the farms had always good seasons, the forests were green and lively.<br/><br/>But this age of peace and happening was not to last forever.<br/><br/>The Humans came from a nation across the ocean, where it was and why they came is a mystery, but when they came with a massive fleet and landed on western shores, They made it clear they were not friends by killing the long time Elven queen Laryeia when she came to meet what she thought was a friendly new race of people. The Humans that came from somewhere far beyond tried to conquer all of Ensiferum, and enslave the Elven and Dwarves that were native to the land. And although the Humans did not succeed in their plans of complete conquest, they still managed to take over much of the North-West. And after the Humans came, so did the dreaded Orcs from the North, and then the dark elves from the far east. Ensiferum would never be the same again...<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">*The Twilight Tavern*</div><br/><strong>Grakoon</strong><br/><br/>The night was quiet when he walked in to the Tavern. He pushed open the large wooded door and went stright for one the tabled in the far corner of the room. He wore nothing but black. His cloak was riped and worn along the edges, and his sword that he wore around his waist looked vary old and used. He pulled out a small strange looking hour glass from within his cloak and stared at it for a few minutes before putting it back. 'The time grows short'.<br/><br/><br/>
