"Balkoth has shifted his gaze to the land of Venilae exclusively, seeking to leave it's inhabitants walking in a perpetual state of death, with nothing but destruction on the mind. The war against Vvaesis has begun, in the symbol of Elven power and might as if favoring the Mitherian horde." 
- Quote ascribed to one of House Aesir's footsoldiers after one of the first battles against the dead.
200 years ago, as the Mitherians began to win the latest war against the Empire of the Sun, cracks were beginning to appear in the mighty empire. king Llellawyn Aesir, located at the war front, intent on rallying his forces to strike back agains the enemy, had to halt his plans as messengers from the capital Vana'vantis. The messenger, dazed and slightly maddened from his jounrey, only spoke of a great darkness around the capital. Worried for his wife and the capital, king Aesir led his troops towards the capital, where he found some refugees fleeing from something he hadn't seen before. It wasn't the Mitherians having somehow led an army into the land without being discovered. Nay it was his own subjects, although something had changed them. Those who were fleeing were being cut down by this new breed of subjects, whose eyes were blank and missing something in them. The king and his army initially fought against these creatures, before realizing the course of action would lead to the demise of the entire army. So the king focused his army on helping those he could flee from the city, intent on defense rather then offense untill a date when they could lead a strike to deal with this threat. Surely, some believed that this problem would be dealt within a few months.
In today's world, the dead still remain. The middle of Venilae is their land. The Mitherian Empire has ended their war against the Venilaen Empire, because the land is effecitively  worthless. Valujia is now it's own seperate kingdom, concerned on itself rather than what is considered in the minds of humans, the common occurance in Venilae. Yet House Aesir and many other noble houses of Venilae, the dead is forever on their minds. From the tower and the forsaken around it, king Aesir and his family live day to day, intent on defending their lands, subjects and themselves against the undead horde. Hopeful of the day where the cause of the dead is found and they can begin the process of restoring the land. For now, defense is the only option, and the lives of the Elves, while long, could lose out against the dead.
