It has been a hundred years since the forces of darkness were defeated. It has been a hundred years since the day that the magic died. Wizards and Sorcerers list their spells, the gods stopped answering prayers, creatures of magic faded into the stories of myth and legend.<br/><br/>The hard-earned peace didn't last as the human kingdoms squabbled over borders and land. Even now your kingdom is threatened by the barbarian tribes of the north and the decadent southern empire.<br/><br/>Today people are gathering to celebrate the defeat of the forces of darkness. Little did they know that today the magic would return and the darkness would be reborn. The small town of Stonewatch had been the location of the final.battle against the forces of Darkness. It was here that the centennial would be celebrated. Already the town had swelled to.three times its normal size. All the inns were full and a temporary tent city had been set up to house the throngs of extra people.<br/><br/>The King and the Royal family were expected to be in attendance for the ceremony. The town was going to present gifts commemorating the event and the artisans were working hard to produce items worthy of the king.<br/><br/>It had been a hundred years without magic, a hundred years without the gods, a hundred years of peace free from monsters. Yet on the centennial of the battle, the time was right for the magic to return. Still, that threat was far from peoples thoughts as they prepared for the celebration.<br/>
