A shadowy figure glided across the barren ground. Fumes rose around him as he made is way towards the center. Molten lava lept up from the firey depths. The figure slowed his movement at puffs of ash rose from beneath his robes. Suddenly, the figure stopped at the edge of the massive fall. Reaching into his cloak, he pulled out a small dagger. It was covered in a shiny substance, most likely blood. Raising the dagger into the full view of the moonlight, he pulled off his black hood. Looking at the scarely lit moon, he uttered an incantation and struck the dagger into the earth. A faint light appeared from where the dagger met the earth, and it grew slightly. Suddenly, a rush of wind hit the figure and blew him back, but did not knock him down. The shadow of a man fought the wind back to where his dagger protruded from the earth. He reached for it, and as he touched it, he became one with the wind. The dagger vanished from its spot as well and the light faded along with it. The volcano stood just the same as when the shadowy figure had arrived.
Rencava
You are based on a large island called Rencava. On it are many races, who, for centuries, have fought for the power of the Shadow. Releasing this shadow causes whoever released it the power of Shadow. They can disappear and reappear at will. The can become invisble. They can also summon the dead, whether for good or evil. However, one has finally found the power to become the Shadow, as is using it for evil. He is recruiting an army, as well as using his power to create an army of the undead.
The Shadow has slowly pushed the Alliance out of the main cities and into the wilderness. However, the Alliance, has managed to regroup in the harbour town of Felia. This harbour has access to the seas and has been communicating with others who have opposed the Shadow. As the Shadow gains power, it is extremely important for the Alliance to raise an army. They must also search for the One, an ancient warrior who has united the land many times in the past and who has also defeated the Shadow thrice.

Races
Spoiler: Click to Toggle the Spoiler.
There are three main races and two minor races in Rencava. The main races are the humans, dwarves, and elves. The minor races are centaurs and mermen (there are mermaids, too). The centaurs room the forests of Rencava, and the mermen swim in the lakes and rivers, as well as the sea.
Human - The human race has lived on Rencava since its creation. They were born on Rencava and have lived there ever since. They are not a very physical race, but what they lack in strength, they can make up in quick thinking.
Elf – The elves have also been on Rencava since the beginning. They have been blessed with the gift of knowledge. They are a passive race and do not enjoy fighting. However, when the time comes to fight, there is no better ally than an elf. It is also said that the One was an elf...
Dwarf – The dwarves sailed to Rencava early in the island’s history. They were originally not welcomed well by the elves and humans, but after the Great War, they understood that they were only intruders upon the humans’ and elves’ land, and they obeyed their law. However, Dwarven law is supreme underground.
Centaurs – The centaur is a quiet and agressive race. There are few of them left, as the Shadow hunted them down first. They hunt in groups and wage war with guerilla tactics. They are talented in the art of crafting and smithing, so many swords and shields worn by humans and elves have come from the centaurs.
Merman – The Merman race is quite unknown. They tend to stay in their habitat, but when war arrives, they use the river system of Rencava for their allies and themselves. Their enemies tend to have many a ship sunk after a war with the Merman race.

Despite her progenitor's violent nature, Jennifer still lived happily enough with the presence of her mother until the age of twelve. One fateful night, Jennifer's father came home intoxicated and beat her mother to death in a drunken rage. Jennifer witnessed the whole thing, and when her father simply went to bed, she went into her kitchen and grabbed a cleaver. With the blade, she marched up to her sleeping father's bedside and stabbed him several times, killing him. Soon later, she wandered off into the plains and reached the ruined city of Brite, where a group of monks lived. Unlike the spiritual men in the metropolis of Conam, these peaceful monks mastered the arts of combat to attain clarity and free their minds from stress and painful memories. Jennifer stayed with them, and by the age of 17 left for Felia. Midway there, she stumbled upon a bandit camp. She single-handedly slayed the five outlaws and found a horribly abused dog in a cage. She adopted the pup and healed it. When she reached Felia, she took a mercenary job. She has been doing that since.
