Before the Dark Twilight

One hundred and fifty years ago, the Kingdom of Everglade emerged as one of the continent's greatest nations after an era of chaos and division. In those days, before the Dark Twilight, the lands were fractured, ruled by independent clans, being the most important ones:

Clan Everglade: Located in the northwest corner of the continent, their domain is perched between a coastline and the Forest of Eternal Shadows. They were the most strong and old clan.
Clan Stagfire: Situated in the northeast, this domain is surrounded by dense forests . It is close to the northern coast and bordered by the woodland and open terrain.
Clan Darkfall: Found in the central southern region of the continen, inside the Forest of Eternal Shadows. In their domain, they had also secret caves around the forest.
Clan Elfbreen: Located in the southeastern part of the continent, their domain was the vale surrounding them.
Clan Skyforge: Positioned in the easternmost corner of the continent, their domain rests in the foothills of the Wall Mountains.

The Dark Twilight

The clans were always competing for resources and power, so wars between them were constant, and the people lived in a state of uncertainty and fear. Everything changed with the arrival of the Dark Twilight, a danger that threatened the very existence of the continent, one hundred and fifty years ago.

A dark power, mostly lead by a group of powerful necromancers and monsters, began to destroy the domains of the cities. This made the clans realize that they had to become one, unite forces and stop fighting against each other. They made a council in the middle of the continent that last some days.

King Eldric and Queen Avilasa accomplished the impossible by uniting these clans under one banner. With the aid of the Crown of Light, a sacred artifact bestowed by the druids, they led the kingdom to victory and sealed a pact of unity that endures to this day. This alliance is known as the Alliance of Light, an agreement that guaranteed collaboration between the guilds to face any future threat.

To celebrate the victory and make a home for everyone that lost their homelands, they decided to build a capital, in the center of the continent, being a reminder of the pact that united the clans . From now on, they were no more divided clans, but a Realm, the Realm of Everglade.

Thanks to the crown, the clans evolved into organized guilds. These guilds retained the traditions of their ancestors but adopted a more flexible structure, focused on specific tasks such as defense, magic, healing, and intelligence. The transition from clans to guilds marked a new period of collaboration and stability, allowing the kingdom to thrive after the dark times.

The Capital lived in a long peace, enjoying quiet days, everyday problems, everything was happy and nice, some small interventions and minor problems, nothing that could not be solved with diplomacy and elegance. But dark days returned to the kingdom, everything began with rumors, rotting animals in the forest, disappearances of citizens, until finally one day two monsters appeared, giving the first signs of problems, they were hard fights for those who had to fight, but they managed to defeat them.

Some time later, already aware of the problems, the royalty began to prepare a move to their old city, a little ruined but habitable.

Days passed and a meeting was held in the castle, warning that a toxic gas was approaching, that they would have to abandon the city and move to the new one, but then more monsters appeared, much stronger, there is no doubt that it was the Dark Twilight, many citizens were ready to fight, some were injured but managed to defeat the monsters and flee the city.

Now everyone went to the Everglade ancient City, former home of the Everglade clan and new capital of the kingdom. What dangers will lay ahead? Will the citizens of the Realm be able to get rid of that fog or at least stop it so it will not reach them?
