Many, many years ago, there was a small group of warriors who saved the continent from an invading force. This invading force was lead by a 'god' who would aid them in battle so they could never lose. The group discovered that the 'god' was actually a wizard who, by manipulating the world to absorb the essence of the true gods and goddesses, was growing more and more powerful, and was about to open a rift in the material plane to the plane of the gods, where there was a large crystal that held the essence of two ancient fallen gods, the goddess of light, and the god of darkness.<br/><br/>The small group that had fought alongside the wizard was able to teleport to the tower just as the wizard began opening the portal. The group engaged the wizard in an epic battle, and though the wizard was defeated the portal had opened and the wizard had managed to siphon some of the power from the old gods into his body. His death resulted in a massive explosion of god energy that was too much for many of the inhabitants of the realm to handle, and many of them died. Maybe ten percent of the worlds population remained, and even then only in small clusters and isolated towns.<br/><br/>Of these remaining peoples there were few very unique individuals, perhaps one in a million, who were not only able to survive the blast, but developed certain powers from the energy. No one truly knows why so many died or what the blast was, and the small group that lead the defenses against the invading army had disappeared, never to be heard from again. Your character was a small child at the time of the blast, possibly even in your mother's womb. You are now just becoming an adult in this new world and you are one of the few special people.<br/><br/>And now, the portal being left weak, and vulnerable, sights and sounds that bring back distant memories of horror tales told around campfire to spook children are reported to be walking the lands. Time and time again, until they cannot be ignored anymore. They speak of terrible things, and a dark army that intends to break the portal, like a door off of its hinges, to take over this new, and comparatively innocent world. And only these, special people, can stop them.<br/><br/>All creatures, of different races, brought together by what some would call coincidence, what others might call fate. No matter. The fact of the matter is that this threat must be stopped. And they are the men and women to do it.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Okay, that is the original idea. Changes can be implemented, additions to the original plot can be made.
