The Gods were playing and fooling around, creating Arkain with their preferences. They seeded the land with their ideals, and even created Arkainians, a race that embodied their vision.

But this never last, as they bicker among themselves, and the Arkainians, blinded by their fervor and cursed with an incurable curse which was killing them, fought and killed their own race. Then the Gods saw it is late to save the poor fledglings, so they fought among themselves.

Report

Report is one of the Tales of Arkain.

## Synopsis

A letter from an unidentified Imperial Army officer is talking about his worry about their Grand Marshal.

## Story

I just had dinner with the grand marshal. Despite his obvious mistrust, it was a very interesting and enlightening experience. He stands like a rock in the tides, ignores all the effects of the tides and seems untouchable. Most of his time is spent in his cabin, studying papers. I imagine they could be orders, letters or tactics, but I have not been able to take a closer look at them yet. They seem to be encrypted.

The grand marshal was unwilling to talk much, I can hardly blame him. Men and women of my profession tend to be... dangerous at times, sometimes even uncontrollable. I consider myself rather harmless, but just saying that would not have convinced him even if I tried. From what I have been able to find out, he is not one of the rather... passionate leaders of this expedition. He is the only one who knows the exact orders and keeps them to himself, I don't know yet why he does that but there must be a reason. Maybe the rather aggressive members of the armies would not like them?

Regardless, most generals and soldiers seem to expect an invasion of the kingdoms and Bloodclaw's realm. General Argastus Corlon, with whom I had the honor to share a few words with earlier today, seems to be one of those who want to conquer the Kingdoms and Zyainor for the Emperor, he seems to be on a blind crusade against the continent, filled with rage, as are those who serve in his forces. I cannot really blame him for his feelings. Almost all members of the legions sent here have been trained and indoctrinated to be both skilled and fierce in the upcoming war.

The grand marshal and his personal forces and maybe a few other officers seem to be the only ones who have not been indoctrinated like this. This is good, it will allow me to have at least some conversations that go beyond "punishing the traitors who dared to defy the will of their Emperor!".

Most of the Imperial Court just nod to everything the Emperor says, including the entire Arkain incident. Neither my employer nor I believe that we have been told the entire truth. The Emperor does not seem to concerned with finding out what actually happened, despite the fact that his uncle, Renald Van Durce, died. On that note, I think that the presence of his daughter, Catherine Van Durce, only further increases the hostility towards the Kingdoms and Zyainor.

Back to the grand marshal. I cannot read him as I'd like to. He remains emotionless and I am quite convinced he would remain calm even if his cabin or even the world itself would fall apart around him. I will keep an eye on him. He will tell us sooner or later what the orders are – at least I THINK he will do so BEFORE we reach Arkain – but maybe I can find something before that.

I have to be careful, though. My mission is top secret. I am no traitor, but it would be unwise if those who are absolutely, blindly loyal towards the Emperor would find out about it. They would misunderstand the intentions.

Unknown, 5th April, 552 E. F./20 Z.R.

Initially, they met successes, but on the long run, they only not fight Demons, they also have to deal with the Orcs and other races, Undead hit-and-run attacks and internal dissent from either the Kingdoms and even to their officers. The final nail in the coffin is when both Gardon Bloodclaw, the Emperor's brother and Renald Van Durce, his uncle both abandoned the Empire, with Gardon re-forming the Nation of Zyainor and Renald died after the two fought. Now, the Imperials have to rethink of their choices.

First Voidwar

The First Voidwar was a major conflict, which took place decades before the First Books of Arkain. It was a turning point in the continent of Arkain's history.

## First Voidwar

### End

Betrayal at the border of the Demonic lands by an Imperial general (exact date and year unknown)

### Result

Pyrrhic victory for the Empire of Rodan and the Kingdoms of Arkain

## Prelude

After the collapse of the old Nation of Zyainor, the 7 Kingdoms of Arkain were formed. While the Kingdoms managed to forge alliances with races like the Dwarves and Elves, constant tension, political games and intrigues between each other eventually lead to them slowly being overwhelmed by the Demons.

After the death of the Zindrach, The Demon God, many demons were stranded all over the world of Arkain. While never as big of a threat to the humans living in the Empire of Rodan, the demons managed to terrorise their lands for centuries, before finally being defeated and chase out the continent by Renald van Durce.

The defeat of the demons suffered on the Continent of Rodan lead to the Empire of Rodan discovering about the continent of Arkain.

## The War

Now knowing where the homeland of the demons was located, the Empire of Rodan proceeded to send emissaries to the Kingdoms of Arkain.

While the Kingdoms were reluctant to agree to the Empire of Rodan's terms of becoming part of their lands, they had no other choice.

Some short time after agreeing to the Empire's terms, thousands of imperial ships arrived at the port *Broken Promise*(located in Kerrel)

With the Empire's large number of troops and ships, and what they had left of their own armies, they began reconquering all the lands they lost over the past centuries and were preparing to march into the lands of the demons.

However, at the Demonic borderlands, the Human, Dwarven and Elven armies were betrayed, losing the battle, many troops and all except one of their generals - Lord Genethas. This defeat ultimately led to a stalemate and an end to the war.

## Aftermath

Only a few hours after the battle at the border of the demonic lands, the Human, Dwarven and Elven armies were forced to abandon the Kingdom of Isalmur, leading to the demons quickly reconquering it.

With the creation of the Void and the Gate of Hell soon thereafter, it became much more difficult for the mortal races to try and invade the demonic lands again.

The inconclusive nature of the conflict led to the beginning of the Second Voidwar on the 10th of April 531 E. F.

When his father asked him to join the regiment to one day take his place, Ramerius followed the call.

But according to Krom the Immortal and Rahandir Drakeskull, these Angelics were maybe some magical creatures, the ritual is a sham, and their faith to God was useless, as the Gods were exterminated by the Four Fallen Gods.

Return

Return is one of the Tales of Arkain.

## Synopsis

This story is actually a letter of Argastus Corlon, Imperial Army's newest general, who were tasked to invade Arkain at the behest of the Emperor of the Empire of Rodan.

## Story

Many decades ago, our parents died to save this continent from oblivion. We accepted their people and welcomed them in our Empire as brothers, broke our bread with them and enabled them a future they otherwise wouldn't have been able to even dream of. We gave them all they needed and made sure they could rebuild their destroyed realms, find some rest after the endless wars and live in peace rather than die in battle. We gave them our hand in friendship and they took it with enthusiasm, swearing allegiance, eternal loyalty and friendship. We trusted them with our lives and so did they. Or so we thought. We were betrayed by those we called brothers, knives were put in our backs. They had grown fat and greedy, spoilt by our gifts. They demanded more, ever more. Money, resources, soldiers. And yet we kept going, we gave them what they asked for - not for selfish reasons but we thought we were doing what allies were supposed to do. However, at some point, enough was enough. Even our patience had its limits and the greedy barbarians did not hesitate to test our goodwill.

They call this event the Second Voidwar now. We call it the Great Betrayal instead. The war during which our brothers-in-arms broke years of friendship. Our finest soldiers and heroes, the Golden Guard, were butchered while trying to protect our former friends. All Imperials were slaughtered in their beds by the traitors.
The half-brother of our beloved Emperor himself has changed sides and used dark incarnations to summon black dragons, shadows and undead monstrosities. His betrayal was of greed and egoism, the kings had similar reasons so they started to work together. Yes, they managed to temporarily defeat the enemies of mankind, but at what cost? The traitors thought they could defeat us and their other enemies at the same time. They wanted too much, so they achieved neither of their goals, regardless of the fact that they had been united in their misguided course.

Yet, like all tyrants, they soon began antagonizing each other and now a war is inevitable. It will tear the continent apart. But the Emperor will not allow that. We were sent by his majesty to retake the realms. We will slay the black dragons, banish the shadows, grind the bones of the undead to dust and put the kings on a leash. They betrayed our friendship so we will force them into servitude instead. Then, the traitor Gardon will be next to fall before our heels, but his pleas for mercy will remain unheard. We will not repeat the mistakes of the Golden Guard and not try to protect the people on this continent, we will take what is ours. The continent of Arkain belongs to the Empire by right and we will make sure it returns to its rightful owner. I am Argastus Corlon and I will have the honor to put an end to the snakes of Arkain. I will lead my legions to victory... or death!

Argastus Corlon, General of the Imperial Army, 31st March, 552 E. F./20 Z. R.
