The First War

### The Dark Star

Out from the void and empty space fell a dark star onto the planet, fearing for the unknown and it's mysterious energies the Great fairy, Evangeline, mustered her powers to destroy the star. As the star was destroyed it's fragments explodes across the continent and the first war began as it's corrupt spread. From each fragment summoned an army of dark spawn that would wash over Keltheria. In the south region the Fairies were waging war with the bulk of the forces and many of them died defending the wild life they were charged with. In the center region the dark spawn wandered into the debts of the mountain attempting to corrupt the sleeping stonefolk but it was their metal flesh that would save them from the darkspawn awakening them. In the north the Treefolk fought against the darkspawn who landed in Quel'thalas. Each Fragment created a power entity equal to the power of a De'va and there were twelve fragments.

### The Twelve Dark Lords

#### Lilith

Landing in the southern most parts of Keltheria with two other of their kin dubbing this place deadend. Lilith's fragment had the power to control anything that could not function by itself things that had no will, she was a cunning dark one who rarely was seen on the battlefield and instead choose to send minions to do her bidding.

Lilith found amusement in playing games with her victims she would consider all her action and the actions of her enemies as apart of those games and the winner kept everything. She was feared as and given the title Blackhand.

#### Abaddon

Known and feared by all as the "Forgotten One' Abaddon piece had the power to destroy memories and substitute it with his own meaning that you could forget all that you were to become his vassal in a instant of just being within his presence. He would land in the ocean as the fragment was separated from the rest and he would later emerge out in the conflict.

Abaddon would wait for his time and learned from the ocean itself hearing the voices of the world and those on the shores connected to the sea. Striking at different parts of the world he began a cult following of former guardians of Keltheria who were manipulated into following him.

#### Asmodeus

Asmodeus was not one for words action was in all things and the only thing that mattered he was here to destroy and destroy is what he did landing within the lands nearest to Magika he would wage war in the southern parts and was the first to ever challenge the city of magic head to head with the fae.

Asmodeus fragment gave him an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy under his control enough that he could devastate both the physical and spiritual at the same time he was dubbed "The Reaper" by fae.

#### Judas

Landing in snowfall Judas was the one who would awaken the stonefolk from their slumber his power was corruption and disease his plan was to turn the stonefolk against Keltheria, however, he wasn't able to pierce their flesh to taint their souls and thus failed in his ability to do one.

Dubbed the defiler he would fight alongside Kali against the main forces of The Stonefolk and king Demok

#### **Kali**

Landing in snowfall Kali fought alongside Judas as they fought against the stonefolk once they were awoken by Judas. Kali is known for her laughter carrying death and smiles upon her face as the echos of those laugh sound through the misty snow.

Kali's fragment had the power over blood and flesh often her battles are littered with her own black blood and all her blood is alive and each cell of blood is an individual with it's own ability to act and think on it's own. Many believe that this is the reason Kali is known as "Madness" itself.

#### Nergal

Landing in Deadend alongside two of it's kin Nergal was an abomination and it's shard had the power to create more like itself which continued to fuel an endless army of darkspawn. Nergal was dubbed the breeder because of this it was a key figure for the destruction of the dark ones and the dark ones protected Nergal well in their capital region of deadend as they moved north.

Nergal was more of an object rather than an entity as it sat down and created a endless stream of units it could use to help their kin take hold over Keltheria.

#### Shiva

With Shiva's presence decay was brought everything she touched turned into a lifeless version of itself turning the very lush jungle that would now be the swamp it would morph to. As such was the power of Shiva landing in Deadend alongside Nergal and Lilith Shiva was charged with protecting Nergal as a priority from Lilith.

Shiva was dubbed by the fae as the heartless.

#### Beelzebub

Flying abomination with the shard of oblivion everything Beelzebub burned would never come back it's fire would not spread but anything touched with it's flame would burn till it became nothing, not even ash would be left behind in it's wake. Beelzebub was one of the ones to land in the northern lands.

Landing in The northern Mainlands Beelzebub launched it's attack against the land itself.

#### Ishtar

Landing in Quel'thalas Ishtar fought against one of the three powers of Keltheria, The Treefolk to his advantage his power and fragment was known as rot. Ishtar planted a fruit within the soil, become a volatile tree that spread it's roots into the land and brought about a plague that would slowly and violately kill the Treefolk it poisoned the grass, trees, and eventually the air became toxic the Treefolk were up against their worst enemy they could of been facing.

Dubbed by the Eldar as Cultivator he would bring about the suffering to the Treefolk.

#### Amon

Amon cared not for the collective, Amon believed in his own freedom and agenda and only traversed the mainlands causing chaos where ever so he may be. He would kill both darkspawn and lifeforms alike any one who would challenge his freedom or stand in his way to long. Amon was a creature who had the power over anything of it's desire, however, could only sustain that one thing and once lost could never go back to what he had.

#### Diablo

Landing within Wisteria Diablo would come to find himself weaken and dying, the trees focus their powers upon the invading forces spreading a miasma across the beautiful region his forces however would slowly fade as when they landed from being struck with Evangeline's power they were not at peak strength and they had to retreat into the spirit world through the portal Saru there they hid however his wounds could not easily recover from the wisteria trees and Evangeline's magic he slowly spread his miasma throughout the spirit world trying to destroy the wisteria trees connection.

Diablo was dubbed the miasma after his fragments power.

#### Azazel

Azazel's shard fell down from the skies after Evangeline shattered the Darkstar however Azazel was the first to gain consciousness and used his powers in order to shift his energy into the spirit world hiding himself within the spirit world and moving through it, he commanded the others from in another dimensional.

Azazel is a calm and malice indivisual who seeks to weaken his enemies before he strikes his shard grants him the power to detect the easiest way to destroy his enemies.

### Battle For Snow

When the Stonefolk's arose after their awakening from the darkspawn there forces annihilated the dark spawn who intruded on their mountains, marching to the orders of the Elder Golem King "Demicules" he Fought against Judas and his forces. Judas's power over blood and flesh gave him no advantage against stonefolk. Judas and Kali had no kindness towards one another but both needed to join forces against the Stone King Demicules.

Judas was not equal to Kali in this fight and as the war took a turn and they were both loosing against the unstoppable army of the golem Kali ripped out the fragment from Judas and shattered the stone and as the stone shattered a wave of magic release across the land that would kill all of the darkspawns on the mountains and morally injure Kali. While the darkspawn took losses and Kali had to retreat north away from what was now dubbed snowfall after the explosion the golem advantage was taken away from them their flesh had dissolved with the miasma that had spread across the mountain. Split into two people, the dwarfs were much smaller of the golem while the larger half of their people became Golliath's.

Now that the battle for snow was over they marched north to find Kali and dispose of her as well.

### The Rot of Quel'thalas

In the Highhome of The Eldar the dark fragment fell upon it's land, Ishthar had come and with a single seed spread his corruption across the roots of the land. This was poison that spread like a wildfire and the first hit were the animals but soon after the Treefolk themselves even going so far as to poison the Lord Eldar Aisuna. The ability to stop Ishthar was not within their complicity and so they called for the fae to come and aid them meanwhile to prevent any more enemies from getting through the lost woods into Quel'thalas Aisuna would use one of her paths to create a dome that would spread across quel'thalas and hide it from enemies.

Eventually both Lady Sol and Lady Aluna was able to come to Quel'thalas they would poor their power into the Treefolk giving them flesh. Aisuna would become a High Elf while half of the elvish people would become either light elf or dark elf depending on which De'va blessed them with their power. By doing this the elves were no longer effected by the rot.

The fae had to return to Magika due to conflict with the invasion they were under going but the elves no longer needed them as the elves marched across the land purging Ishtar's forces and by fusing one of the shard from Aisuna's jewel with Ishtar's tree they elves turned his weapon against Isthar as it became a world tree that would purge rot from the land. Ishtar would be destroyed by Aisuna in battle ripping out his fragment Aisuna would hear her a voice in her head telling her to use the fragment's power against the dark ones and so she did merging the shard with her broken elf jewel which was forged from her heart she added the fragment and this gave her other worldly powers.

### The First Invasion of Magika

Asmodius would not wait till he recovered landing in Magika he rose and started his conflict with the fae. The Fae sent their magians and conjurations out to go face them and the reaper slaughtered many of them who challenged him, however, he under estimated the power Evangeline had as she would fly out to face him in single combat, Asmodius lost parts of himself that can never be recovered from his battle with Evangeline, Asmodius had to flee back to the southern mainlands but could not cross wisteria, being trapped he met with his other fellow lords to eventually mount a counter attack as they began to purge the lifeforms their in order to survive.

### The Ancient Ones

After Aluna and Sol returned from Quel'thalas the three of them traversed all across the southern mainlands in order to create powerful entities to stand their ground against the dark ones. They would merge a collection of creatures together to create one entity of it's source that spiritual being became known as an ancient and these ancients were created as guardians of their species.

Though the Ancients were powerful their power would not equal a dark lord and so they were to work together with their children in order to face against the dark ones.

### A Song of Trees and Stones

After The victory in snow mountain, now called snowfall, The king Demicules sent his two children one of golliath blood, Thorgil and the other of dwarf blood, Gemicules, to the northern mainlands to face off against the dark ones there. Meanwhile Demicules remained in snowfall creating a wonder known as the Great Forge.

#### Tale of Thorgil

The giant golliath Thorgil separated with his brother and went to the center of the mainlands to establish a forward base, they found high ground on a mountain he dubbed the iron mountain which had three ways of entry and when defenses were erected he named them the three-paths of glory. Establishing this base was no easy feat as he was plunged into battle from an ongoing enemy attacks from Beelzebub and chance encounters with Amon two forces of calamity that Thorgil struggled with keeping at bay at most they could injury Beelzebub, however, without ways to retrain a flying beast they could not do much. After countless battles Kyro, the dreamer was awaken and fought along side the golliaths to hold the mountains. It was here that the golliaths became the first to ever take the form of the bear given to them by the ancient who blessed them.

#### Tale of Gemicules

Gemicules went north past the lost woods in seeking to unit with the elves of quel'thalas instructed by the fairy mother to do so. Gemicules found that they were plunged into a civil war in which corrupted their mind. Lady Aisuna had fallen into a deep slumber in which was created after absorbing the shard of Ishtar within herself and since she's been gone some of the citizens and warriors of the elves have been attacking one another. This was the doing of another dark one that was forgotten to have landed within the seas, Abaddon. Some of the elves manage to resist the calls of the dark one but not all and there were no ways to tell. Without the Lady Aisuna to call judgement the dwarf prince Gemicules took upon himself to decide to purge the elves before their madness led them to launch an invasion south. Gemicules ordered his men to kill elves indiscriminately and while he killed many of the elves who had been controlled he had slain many innocent lives. The elves fought back while fighting each other the best they could but dwarves were merciless and ran through their numbers and with all hope falling into despair Aisuna awoken from her slumber. As Aisuna heard the suffering of her people she purged the corruption of Abaddon with a single use of her unity shard and than she turned her sights on the dwarves. An unforgivable action in her eyes had been done to her people having lost many of her kin and direction children to the Dwarves, Aisuna took it upon herself to slaughter the dwarves killing Gemicules and allowing only a handful of dwarves to flee quel'thalas to tell the tale to his father. Aisuna declared that only an elf is an ally to an elf swearing vengeance upon Demicules. The King of Stone feeling a mutual dislike for the elves for the only ally of the stonefolk were stonefolk.

### Invasion of Magika II: Bahamut

In deadend the armies of the darkspawn sent Kali to retrieve Beelzebub who had reportedly been fatal injured with a battle between it and Aisuna, Aisuna was seeking it's fragment in order to power her elvish jewel. Not wanting to allow the fragment to fall into enemies hands Kali raced towards the north to find Beelzebub, however, as she found Beelzebub she was found by Two fairies who were flying past to find The Elves to calm the tension between them and the dwarves these two fairies were Aluna and Sol. The battle began and Kali was overwhelmed by the power of the De'va sisters. As Kali and Beelzebub was near death, Beelzebub devoured Kali. The body began to morph into a horrible abomination that regenerated all of it's life force. This was the first time that anyone saw a piece of Bahamut what was prevented from landing in it's full form when all the fragments from the dark star was sealed. A primordial being made up of pure energy of this dark matter. Within seconds of the battle both fairies limbs were torn from their body and they were left mangled. It is said that Bahamut devoured them both and with his addiction towards the fae he hungered for more flying towards Magika and attacking it once again.

Feeling the death of her children Evangeline came to the northern mainlands to find their body she would take their bodies into the spirit world in which she would leave them resting in fairy wells that she had prepared for both of them their blood turned into pools of energies in the physical realm creating a well of power. Evangeline would than fly to stop Bahamut engaging it in a battle with it's combined power from both Beelzebub and Kali it was nearly to much for her to handle if it had consumed another shard it would of been equal to her magical power, she could not restrain it and was forced to destroy it completely however the explosion caused both fragments to spread it's energy outwards Magika was annihilated and only a handful of the Fae survived even the spirit world surrounding that area was fractured by the explosion.

This is when it was clear to Evangeline that the fragments could never truly be destroyed. And she only knew this by destroying it and sensing that the fragment had only separated into smaller parts throughout Magika. She gathered all the shards before they could regenerate and had the dwarves erect a prison she reinforced with magic on the grounds that used to be Magika sealing it with the souls of the fae that gave their life fighting against Bahamut, Magika was than renamed to Oblivion.

### Spirit Gate

With the fae having taken such a toll in the second invasion of Magika Evangeline took her people into the spirit than began to cast a powerful magic that opened several portals across Keltheria these portals were like black holes that sucked anything near it inside and while she trapped many of the Darkspawn inside she also trapped the creatures of Keltheria. However, if she freed anyone it would weaken the restraints of the other dark ones and they would be free. She decided that this was the only way she could stop the dark lords from destroying the planet.

While most of the dark ones were sealed away Abaddon and Amon were not. This action ended the first war.
