The year is 2021 on the planet of Habok. Many years ago, there was a war where all the races took place. Here is an introduction...

Before, most of the races were able to live in peace. Elves and dwarves made treaties with the humans, and the goblins and trolls did likewise. Trading was frequent and many travelers settled down in other cities. Goblins and trolls resisted the urge to attack and kill passers-by(although that was left to highwaymen). The 5 main cities were Boka(for the elves), Irondum(for the dwarves), Karn(for the humans), Blarg(for the trolls), and Goblinland(for the goblins).

One day, a goblin squad accidentally killed an elf. The Bokaians were outraged and immediately declared war on Goblinland. Naturally, the dwarves and humans sided with elves as did trolls with goblins. Within 3 years, all the cities were in ruins. Jok had survived rather better seeing as it was underground. Other minor races like gnomes and faeries stayed out of this, claiming neutrality. By 2000, a peace treaty had been signed. But now, war has broken out again between the Army of Light and the Shadow Legion.

Epilogue - Cornering the Legion in the city of Larentos, the Heroes charged into the location and fought off the Shadow Legion. Chasing Darroc to Irondum, he was decapitated there by Leo Crimson...and the war ended.

Elves - One of the most wise races, the elves played a big part in the war. They rallied many of the light races(dwarves, humans, and others) to their side. When they were done, many of them split into factions. Most elves are tall, have long hair, and blue eyes. Almost all the elves are able to train as assassins and are expert marksmen. They usually fight with longswords and bows. The biggest group is now located in Kargai.

Shadow Elves - This small faction betrayed their former brethren and joined the goblins and trolls in declaring war of Boka. They look like normal elves in physical shape, but their eyes are a demon red.

Humans - The most common out of all races, humans were depended on to supply soldiers. They are best fighting on ground but are amateur marksmen. The exceptional human is always promoted to a higher rank. Most humans fight with a sword.

Shadow Humans - These are deserters who usually give info to goblins which enable them to take cities more easily. Not many exist anymore, but some still live.

Laments - Basically humans with wings; they usually use spears. Many have been seen recently, main scouting for the orcs that strike in large numbers. (Suggested by Fake)

Dwarves - The most proud and fiercest race. Although they have had more than a couple clashes with the elves(politically), the Iron Dwarves did not hesitate at all in joining with the elves. They are almost no deserters from this race; all have a hatred for goblins and trolls as they have attacked their ancestors eons ago. All dwarves will fight with an axe, but can learn to wield a knife or bow.

Shadow Dwarves - Shunned by much of the free races, the small number of Shadow Dwarves that exist are more cruel than any other race of the Shadow Legion. Their only reason of living is to acquire gold and any other type of valuables.

Dragonfolk - From the depths of their underground city of Dracolith, the Dragonfolk have been awoken by the raging war. As a type of humanoid dragon, Dragonfolk are bipedal (They walk on two legs). They have the head (Which usually has horns sprouting from it) and tail (Which usually have spikes or some cruel-looking appendage sprouting from it) of a dragon, and some of them even have the wings of a dragon that sprout from their back. Their claws are long, sharp and black, and their scales (Which come in a large assortment of colors) are so small that they appear to be skin. Their whole society is centered around their honor, which they'll do anything to protect, and they make lousy mages, but they're the best warriors you'll ever meet. (Suggested by Scorpion.)

Ents - A type of living tree/something, the majority of Ents had kept neutral of the war but had suffered nevertheless from the Shadow side. Their forests were somewhat burned without thought. Because of this, the survivors are more likely to be sympathetic for the Light.

Dreadful Ent - An ent knows when he is about to die, so when that time is near, he uses all of his remaining energy to travel across the farthest reaches of the land to a spot called the Ent Graveyard. Lately, though, a group of pirates have been dumping their waste there, which consists of an assortment of strange chemicals, one of them being necronium. This chemical is absorbed into the long-dead corpses of the ents, causing the necronium to emit necrotic energy, which causes the corpses to reanimate from the dead, and thus the Dreadful Ents are born. As you can probably guess, Dreadful Ents are a type of undead. Intelligent undead plant, that is. And though they are intelligent, they are also savage, for they need to kill living creatures, so they can absorb the necrotic energy that is given off when living creatures die. (Suggested by Scorpion.)

Goblins - The greenish ugly race. Goblins were the ground fighters for the Shadow side; about the same size as a dwarf, they had the fighting skill of a human and still do. They usually fight with spears and scimitars.

Trolls - Gigantic monsters. These 8' are dim-witted, but make up for it with their brute strength. Usually wielding wooden clubs, the more bright ones can learn how to use scimitars and other weapons.

Orcs - Similar to goblins, but much more intelligent. However, this makes them more cautious, which trades off the charging-without-thinking advantage goblins have. Most orcs, however, are fierce warriors and will stop at nothing to win.

Ork (Also called the demonic orc). Orks are tall and muscular, more so than the regular orcs you come across. They have black skin and long, black hair. Their ears are pointy, like an elves, and their eyes are usually either red (To signify they are evil) or bright blue (To signify they are good, for there are demonic orcs that are good, but they are rare). Thay have long, black nails, on both their hands and their feet (Which is why they wear sandals), and from their skulls sprout large, curving horns. They used to be normal orcs, but long ago a small group of them came together and made a pact with a demon that if it gave them power, they would serve it for the rest of their lifetimes. To this day those orcs, or orks as they're now called, hold to their promise, yet there are those few who wish to break free from the oath and become like their normal orc bretheren again, for being demonic, as you can probably imagine, is not really good, but it does give one great power. Anyway, the oath they took makes them strive for great power, for they are the demon's elite, and they are savage and brutal. (Suggested by Scorpion).

Wolves - An aggressive and savage race, wolves are merely a name. They include werewolves, coyotes and others. Werewolves serve the Light when not transformed, but will become a Shadow creature at the full moon. However, most werewolves can also transform at will, keeping control of their minds. They usually wield blades as humans and daggers as a secondary weapon as a wolf.

Ghouls - they are a type of intelligent undead. They have palish, almost white, skin; black, coal-colored eyes; sharp nails on both their hands and feet; sharp teeth; black hair, but no facial hair; pointy ears; and they're skinny-looking, but strong. They have a poison that's in their saliva, that could almost kill anyone they bite, even the hardy trolls. However, they rarely do this as they are not animals. They are dignified like any other race, kinda like elves, but are shunned merely because they are a type of undead. Ghouls are a rare race. (Suggested by Scorpion. )

Reapers - A select few Ghouls who are meant to take out any problem, they always have a dark glow surrounding them, so if looking for them, they're easy to track, which is a bad weakness, but they have the power to create a dark fog, and somewhat teleport. (Suggested by Fake)


Undead – Once mortals, the Undead were transformed and mutilated by the Shadow into wraiths of war. Donning black robes and becoming feared, the Undead travel around and attacking others, transforming them into warriors of the darkness. Their weapons of choice is usually a blade that transform others into them.

The history of the Undead is varied, depending on which province it is told. The dwarves say that the Undead first came into being when the Great War stated; the elves believe they are the last remnants of the Shadow Legion, transformed from their natural forms as a last effort by Darroc to win the war before he was killed. The humans have a more practical tale: the Undead were mutilated by the foul air of Legion cities, and haunt the free lands for eternity.

Though all of these vary, one part of the stories is told around: it is rumoured the first Undead is raising an army to reform the Shadow Legion and conquer Habok. His name is Lazu.

Recently, Undead have been seen near Kunk, the former Legion city. More than a few Habokian soldiers there have disappeared and were never seen again. Some humans even report having seen Lazu walking along the outer walls of the city with a silver blade in his grip, waiting for others to come down.

The Great Deities are also rumoured to have the ability to create any Undead warriors of their own, which they usually command to fight for the Habokians. Those revived by the Deities or even the Goddess herself will take the appearance of a normal Undead, but their weapons have an aura of hope, and not of despair.

Malarians – A type of mutated humans the Malarians’ origin is currently unknown. Their leader, a man known as General Platon, was able to provide a few details about their history. After interviewing many others, the people at Karn were able to piece as much they could together.

The Malarians had apparently come from an alternate universe where Darroc had been destroyed in Karn. However, he had activated a powerful weapon that sent a shockwave of power through the province. It instantly killed all elves and dwarves within the province, but the humans were a different case. Within minutes, they began mutating, losing their usual physical form, growing or shrinking, and becoming stronger.

When they awoke from the spell, the mutants found themselves significantly changed, both physically and mentally. A human would have been shocked by this, but the mutants felt no emotion; instead, they hungered for death and to destroy the Legion. Gathering together, Genera Platon gathered them first and renamed the species.

Setting off to revenge themselves against Darroc, the Malarians discovered the remnants of the Legion had obeyed his last command and initiated a black hole weapon. As it slowly sucked up the land, including Boka, the Malarians were approached by a man known as the Sage. He quickly opened up a portal for them, but stayed behind to try and stop the hole. The last Platon saw of his home was the Sage being sucked into the hole, along with many others.

The Malarians had established a city known as Agoro on one of the outer islands. Quickly adjusting to the new environment, they vowed to stop this world from suffering the same fate. When they were informed that Darroc had been destroyed, they changed their objective, and aimed to help with the lives of the people that had suffered greatly.

When they take part in wars, Malarians usually wield broadswords that cut apart their enemies. Some of the most agile warriors take the use of bows and other weapons.

Gnomes - An even shorter race than the dwarves, gnomes were neutral in the war. However, their cities have been destroyed by both sides, so they are resentful. Gnomes use...knives.

Faeries - A magical creature, they live in trees and other places. Only a few cities and towns were affected by the war. Most faeries stand an inch-2 tall. They use magic and spells.

Mechanisian - Not too long ago, there was a bright streak across the sky, and then a large object crashed into the side of Mount Mechanisia. The moutain belonging to the dwarves, the dwarven king sent some scouts to research the object. What they found was what looked like some sort of gigantic vehicle which fell from the stars. They named it a star ship. One of the dwarven scouts accidentally activated something on the star ship. The ship began drawing resources from the moutain it had crashed into, and then the mechanical device which the dwarf had activated began working, and pretty soon it spit out what looked like a man.

But it was a man made of metal. And the device, which the dwarves named the Forge, continued to spit out more and more metal men, but at a steady rate. The metal men were unintelligable at first, but they learned about the world they were created in pretty quickly. The dwarves named the new race of metal men Mechanisians, in honor of the moutain they crashed into. Eventually, the Mechanisians built a society around their crashed star ship. Many dwarven magicians and scientists studied the Mechanisians, and they both decided that they were some sort of machine that was powered by magic. And the Mechanisians are indeed good at performing magic when they study it long enough, and they are quite good at combat, too.

Now the Mechanisians have a great society, and they are strongly allied with the dwarves, who brought them under their wings as if children and taught them.

Vonger - Although they look similar to trolls, the Vongers are much more civilized...and very, very easy to anger. Living in the city of Verran on one of the outer islands, the Vonger Kingdom is headed by King Olnar, whom has done a great job of ruling the kingdom.

The Vongers came from underground, near the city of Irondum. Distant cousins of the trolls, they differed greatly from the servants of the Shadow Legion. Darroc tried to recruit them once, but their answer to fighting for evil and death included 15 dead orcs, and a fleeing King. Moving to one of the outer islands, the Vongers stayed out of the war; when Lorus was defeated, they emerged from beneath and established relations with the other races.

Shadows - When the old world of Habok was cloaked in darkness by the god Koba, every living thing that remained there was changed by the dark magics that filled the land. Their flesh degraded away and what was left was their shadowy spirits. They were the shadows of their former selves, and that's where the name comes from. They have the basic shapes of their former selves, but they appear to be made of black smoke. However, they're physical and able to physically affect the world around them. That also means they can be physically hurt, too, especially by fire and, strangely, by light. Suggested by Scorpion.

Reliving (also called Redeemed and Reborn) - Not too long ago, a group called Redemption was founded. Their purpose, to try and get the scum of the world to change to the side of good and "redeem" themselves. Through this purpose, they've been able to discover the spell that can change the undead back into living creatures. These reliving creatures have the basic shapes of what race they were before they were undead, but for a few differences. One, they have golden skin. Their eyes are orbs of bright pure color. Finally, because of the spell, a tattoo is branded onto their skin upon becoming a Reliving, a tattoo unique to each Reliving. Though their bodies are the same as before they were undead, those spirits are long gone. The Reliving are granted new spirits, which is why they're also called the Reborn. Suggested by Scorpion.

Elementals - For as long as any creature of the new world can remember, the Elementals have lived there. They've long been thought of as the oldest living creatures of the new world, and they've built many empires that have risen and fallen, including one that still stands today. Actually, five, one for each of the different types of Elementals. There are Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Lightning Elementals. Each are made purely of their respective elements (and water can be just water or steam or ice) and they're humanoid, but vary in shape and size.

Hillhunters - They they're called the ill'ter in their own language, they've been tagged the hillhunters by the Habokian pioneers. They live in clans, and there are many of them, led by chiefs. They're a hunting society, their race the best hunters you'll ever meet. They definately don't bait, either, something they find disonorable. They actually go after their prey. They don't even use the traditional fishing techniques of using bait. They actually dive into the water with weapons such as harpoons and go after their underwater prey. Also, they usually don't have wars. Most of the time, when more than one clan has a dispute, they take the best warriors, called greblo, of each clan and send them into an arena to fight each other. Whichever greblo wins, their clan is named the winner and given the rights over whatever they were disputing over. To determine the best greblo in a clan, tournaments are held. However, their race isn't without war, and wars between hillhunter clans are terribly destructive, which is why they don't occur often. Above all else, the hillhunters prize their honor, and without it, they are nothing. They do such things as drop their weapons when fighting a weaponless opponent. And they don't commit suicide. When they've lost their honor, they seek to regain it, and they'll do whatever's in their power to accomplish that. They don't just defend their own honor, either, but the honor of their family, their friends, their clan, their entire race as a whole, etc. Now for what they look like. They wear their dark hair long, but they usually don't have facial hair. That's usually reserved for the old hillhunters, and old hillhunters are rare since the hillhunters' race isn't long-lived because of their warrior lifestyle. Anyway, they have black skin and dark eyes. Their teeth are sharp, and they have tusks that jut from the backs of their jaws and grow right through their cheekskin. Also, they have sharp claws. Suggested by Scorpion.

Long ago, the gods walked the plains of Habok. Each of them guarded a province and blessed those that lived within them. Their names were Faron, Tarek, Eidis and Lindara.

Faron took the shape of a monkey, and his mortal home was a cellar in Irondum. He would often meet with dwarves and other citizens of the province to give them day-to-day advice or just to have a chat. Faron's last seen location was at the gates of Irondum, where he disappeared.

Depicted as an eagle, Tarek guarded the land of the elves. Taking up residence in the Great Forest, he shared his knowledge with many, helping to cure many diseases experienced by the elves. His last confirmed location was leaving Boka.

The protector of the humans and the city of Karn, Eidis lived to the north of the city, where he usually kept to himself. Living in a temple built by many of his followers, Eidis was last seen being visited by a tall man in a dark hood.

The most powerful of all the gods, Lindara was said to have been a descendant of the Creators. Seen as taking the shape of a female wolf, she had resided within the city of Larentos, in the Tower of the Gods. One day, the governor came to visit her and found the place empty. He only found a horn used by the citizens to call for help.

Explorers claim to have seen a glowing wolf in the Forest, whom sometimes would save them from orc pursuers. However, these are merely treated as myths, as the deities are believed dead.

Kargai - A relatively small community. Most consisted of elves but dwarves and humans are welcome. Relatively close to Boka, elves sometime return to find belongings from their family.

Bar - The place for all the remaining dwarves, Bar Town is located nearby to the remains of Irondum. Many of the war veterans' descendants often return to the ruined city to look for tools and weapons. One day they will have their revenge.

Salvatoria - A mostly human city, it is the community closest to Shadow territory. Humans live there, rearming themselves in case the goblins attack again.

Larentos - One of the more popular Light towns; many Light races inhabit this city. Any adventurer can pick up supplies of all kinds here. (Suggested by Fake)

Goblinvillage - A small community, those goblins that survived the war now live here. They do not want to go to war again and find ways to discourage others to. The majority of trolls, wolves and orcs have also immigrated here.

Underdark: A small village located near the ruins of Boka, many Dark elves and humans have hidden here. Trips to the ruined city occur frequently and are routine. A small guerilla force of Light elves occasionally mount attacks hoping to destroy the other side, but are usually unsuccessful. Orcs are always on the lookout for enemies attempting to sabotage the city or collect weapons from Boka.

Kunk - A medium-sized city, Kunk is the unofficial capital of the Shadow. Orcs come here daily to group up, and take orders from King Darroc, leader of the Shadow Legion. With training grounds and many streets, no Light being wants to come here.

Other villages - Smaller ones that are lived in by others.
