In the ancient, war-scorched history of Etheron, there was an era when darkness threatened to swallow everything whole.
The forces of the Abyss—malevolent entities from realms beyond comprehension—descended upon the continent in a tidal wave of destruction.
Entire races vanished, cities fell, and the land itself bled.
In the face of annihilation, the scattered and prideful races of Etheron—the humans, elves, dwarves, vampires, merfolk, and fairies—set aside their endless conflicts and united against a common enemy.
Each of these races had long worshipped their own patron deities:
The vampires revered Nyx, the Primordial Goddess of Darkness and Night.
The humans followed the radiant Aurora, Goddess of Light—also known by her many other names.
The elves worshipped Freyja, Goddess of Beauty, Fertility, War, and the bearer of the World Tree Seed.
The dwarves honored Hephaestus, the stoic God of the Forge and Master of Craft.
