PRELUDE

In a darker time in Rune-Midgard..
The land was war-torn, the war between the Gods and Mankind and Daemons was all but over, with only a handful of powerful Daemons refusing to enter the truce.

It was at this dark hour that Odin and a force of Einherjar, legendary Human warriors, and his Valkyries sealed the last of the Daemons in a prison forged of stone and imbued with countless powerful magic seals.

And with the war over, Peace ruled over Rune-Midgard...for a time.

It was in this state of peace that Odin left Rune-Midgard in the hands of the Einherjar, and under the careful eye of his most loyal Valkyrie commander, Randgris herself.

Alas, some Daemons were too strong for the sealing magic, and the great Daemon King Morroc was unleashed into the world. Great storms battered the earth and winds of raw magical energy ravaged the already torn and devastaded lands.

Without the aid of Odin's foresight there seemed little hope in battling the Daemon King, but for one brave warrior..

The great warrior-mage Thanatos, a legend among even the Einherjar, set out alone to face Morroc's wrath. For 10 days and 10 nights they battled, the releases of energy devastating not only the land around them but the very fabric of reality itself..

Eventually, Thanatos gave the last of his life-force to seal the Daemon King in the newly formed desert lands in the south. The battle broke him in ways no human can comprehend. The unshakable will of the Einherjar's most revered warrior shattered, his mind torn and anguished he left the land, and was never seen again..

The Einherjar mourned for centuries, taking the time to construct a monumental tower, massive in scale and unmatched in grandeur, in his honour before sealing themselves away from the newborn race of Mankind.

Peace reigned a full thousand years, and Humanity forgot, over time, the fire of the battles of old, and the loss undertaken to save their race and their world.

This utter contempt for the blood that was shed for them enraged Randgris, forcing her to seek Odins guidance in dealing with humanity.

..no answer came.

Filled with hatred, abandoned by her master, Randgris flew into a murderous rage, and the Einherjar bore the brunt of it.

All but unknown to the rest of the world, a private war was fought between the near omnipotent force of Randgris and her entourage and the valiant Einherjar, with their weapons of immeasurable power.

Facing the fury of the Valkyrie, the Einherjar entrusted their secrets to but a handful of Humans before leaving the halls of Valhalla to face Randgris in final battle, one from which they never returned..

The fury of the conflict rocked Rune-Midgard, and the prison sealing the the fearsome Daemons of old was blasted by the swathes of Magical energy. Many of the seals on the prison were torn free and scattered over the land, the power they possessed was like a magnet for the powerful monsters left over from the Ancient war, and were quickly hoarded by them as sustenance.

The Einherjar were never seen again by their apprentices, who observed Randgris badly wounded, but still alive in the Ruined temple of her former master.

The apprentices sealed themselves away from the rest of Humanity, fearing the end of the world and forsaking their race.

CHAPTER I - A New Order

And yet, the indomitable will of Mankind prospered. Heroes once again began to make themselves known throughout Rune-Midgard, even bringing themselves to slay the powerful monsters around the land and reacquiring the Seals..

Humanity even began to settle new lands. Eventually, they came upon the Prison of the Daemons. Newly attuned to the flows of magic, they sensed a link between the seals and the Prison.

After a time, the warriors and Scholars were able to open a gateway into the prison, however they were greeted by powerful foes. Adventurers banded together to delve deeper into what they took for an Arena, and with luck, they defeated the Daemons within.

However.. this was but the first gate into the Prison, and the now ancient apprentice Einherjar felt the gate weaken under the force of the Human warriors, and intervened..

Seeing the worth in the new heroes of Mankind, they imparted their wisdom unto the heroes, and forged for them weapons of power in return for their promise to defend Rune-Midgard.

Of course, they would now have to..

With the seal magic released, the bonds holding the Great Daemon King Morroc have loosened, once again allowing him to manifest his terrible power in the realm of mankind.

What new horrors will this living nightmare bring? Will the world survive this cataclysm?

Only your actions will decide the fate of the world against these impossible odds..
