In the beginning, only the Void existed, a formless calm where the Elemental gods slept under the reign of Entropy. This harmony was shattered when Pariah emerged from the shadows, a thing of ambition who defied eternal Chaos and introduced something unprecedented: Order.
By binding the elemental gods, Pariah forged the physical world, establishing cycles and structure where none had existed before, allowing humanity to flourish. For ages, mortals thrived under Pariah's silent rule while the gods of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire remained imprisoned within the natural world.
But soon they stirred, and their awakening brought catastrophic upheaval: earthquakes split mountains, oceans rose in devastating waves, storms ravaged sky and land, and volcanic fire engulfed everything in its path. Their unleashed fury sought only one goal, breaking their chains and returning existence to primordial disorder.
This surge of elemental power produced an unexpected miracle: the birth of the Beastmen, hybrids formed from the fusion of elemental essence and living creatures. As they struggled to find their place, humanity fractured. Loyalists devoted to Pariah took refuge in Cimeria, forming paladin orders to restore stability, while radical sectarians in the ruins of Farrad pursued a darker path, creating Undead legions in their attempt to enforce eternal, unchanging Order.
Now, as the Elementals rise to unmake creation the mortal races brace for what may be the final war. There are no second chances. Will you take a stand and fight for your side? Or will you fade into the Void?
The Elementals have awakened, leaving Cimeria as the last surviving kingdom loyal to the Pariah. Throughout the realm, Inquisitors and Harvesters hunt down magic, while Paladins and Clerics battle to reclaim fallen strongholds and stem the Undead pouring from Farrad. Leading Cimeria's armies are the Lord Martyrs, nobles who sacrificed their birthright to serve the Pariah.
"Order will be restored, and all who defy it shall be cast down."
Deceived and bound into a world that should never have existed, the elemental gods waited in silence until the Pariah's vigilance waned. Earth awoke first, unleashing Fire, Water and Wind in a cascade of devastation. Now the Elementals walk the world as powerful Avatars, followed by hybrid creatures and Shamans devoted to destroying the false Order.
Entropy, the fifth element, stirs once more.
The Rise of the Elementals shattered the ancient kingdom of Farrad. From the ashes, its surviving wizards dreamed of a new Order, one not of life, but Death. These Necromancers bind souls to corpses, awaken monstrous Abominations and wield relics whose curse twists their bearers into immortal Liches.
Life itself must be silenced.
Born of flesh and elemental fury, neither human nor wholly beast, the Beastmen recognize no true gods or masters. Guided by instinct, they claimed the empty spaces left by humanity in Farrad, settling in abandoned temples and shattered cities where the elements had carved their marks.
Loyal to none, hostile to all.
