BACKSTORY

The story begins around three thousand BC, in the midst of a great war. A war of grand magnitude betweenthe aclcolites of good and those of pure evil. Under the dread shawdow an leadership of Shaytan an ancient and powerful demigod, his army of demons & goblin-kin lash out interror and hatred against all the children of Edan and Eva better known as man. Many nations have fallen before the siege of Shaytan forces. Only a mere few have managed to find the courage and power to stand against the tyrant of darkness. That fewmarching under the banner of the phoenix goddess. From their fortress in the southern isles of Pan-Axia, The Goddess and her army of immortals and titans spread out to collect allies and strike back at the raiding bands of Shaytans armies. The crusade rages on for two hundred years back and forth slowly turning to the favor of Shaytans unholy order.
Cities fall and colossal statues of the evil lord are erected across all the lands. now under a never ending glare by the evil demon king the heroes are now forced into hiding, reorganizing and forming into small cells of bandits. Continuously the revolutionaries are hunted down and persecuted, as are all who refute Shaytans might.
when all hope seemed at a loss rumors start of an ironclad warrior from a western land fights with magical powers the likes of wich unseen before and said to rival that of the goddess herself. In a moment of desperation, the goddess sends a letter of alliance to the enigmatic warrior. Sadly he refuses and sends only his reply that he is on a mission for the one true god and has no desire to stray from his course.
Outraged by the denial to a royal summons, Leviathan the goddess’s captain of the guard sets out to confront this man who would deny audience with the revered scion of the phoenix. However upon meeting the man, the captain is taken aback when he sees the curious stranger. it is said that Leviathan spoke of how this strange westerner had about him the aura of heavens host, something he had only seen in the presence of the goddess. the common folk and those he had fought and survived to tale of it said his face was beautiful and flawless, almost angelic and his hair shown of stark white brilliance. So consumed by intrigue the captain followed the strange knight for weeks. Until one day the knight equally intrigued by his exotic stalker turned the tide and confronted him. Before one word could be spoken between the two ,they were attacked by loyalist of Shaytan. The goblin-kins saw theopportunity to take out the captain and this newfound foe all at once. The task proved to be harder than they could´ve ever imagined. Leviathan fought with a berserker like fury seemd to strangely mirror the westerners graceful combination of sword and mighty magic. Togather they laid waste to all in their path.
When the battle was won the two wasted no time turning their weapons on each other. Unsure what to make of it all, the white haired warrior sheathed his blade and eyed the captain. Moments passed and the people in the town remained breathless and made not a sound watching in anticipation,then the captain sheathed his blades as well. The two shared a meal and several goblets of wine as they explaied to each other their stories. To the amazement of the white haired warrior, his prophecyquest could very well have been tied directly with the actions of the goddess-divinedcrusade.
Under the circumstances the white haired warrior agreed to meet with the goddess. They agreed to help one another tocomplete their goals, but over time they fall in love and the warrior started to forsake his quest and focused on riding the land of Shaytans presence. With the combined powers of the knight and the goddesses armiy they regained momentum and again many of the smaller bands allied them selves under one flag and took the fight to Shaytan. They pushed directly towards the source and in as many as months they were at the gates of Shaytans island citadel.
In the battles epic finale the warriors and the goddess stood face to face with Shaytan himself in a battle to end all battles, tragicly the goddess was struck down and the white haired warrior in anger struck out with a spell to destroy the demigod once and for all.
However without the goddess power and his emotions Too high, his mind unfocused the spell only managed to displace Shaytan into a dimensional prison.
This was unknown to all at the time and the disappearance of Shaytan was taken as victory. The forces of Shaytan slowly begin to fall apart and scatter back into the wholes in the spine of the world.
Over the next several months all of the mountrously demonic horde had bee pushed back into the darkness from hence they came. The white haired warrior stricken with grief for his lost love was surprised when told that during his time in the outback uniting the houses of heroes, the goddess had given birth to their son, and hide him away for protection during the time of war. The goddess anticipating her fall wrote a legacy and left for the warrior the crown of the lands and he was made king, responsible for all the duties involved and control of all assets their in. Soon after he was introduced to his young child, a boy named Icarus.
Now faced with the responsibility of ruling a realm, and raising his son Giest found himself utterly alone. He did his best to make the realm safe and fair. He sent armies out in all directions in attempts to purge the remaining forces of Shaytan. It lasted for a time and all was glorious for the ghost king as he had been dubbed, ruled and was loved by all.
unfortunately as time passed the followers of Shaytan in efforts to reinforce thier power and recipricate their every dwindling numbers, they eventually infiltrated the world of man. In the guise of humans they moved into the seats of high-ranking power and politics. From their camoflauged location they managed to turn the tides on the ghost king, forcing him into hideing agian and watching as his realm fall apart. No clear ruler in charge the land drowned in the tides of BLACK WATER.
