War came upon the lands. Crashing like roaring tide on brittle coast, so reckless it tore veils between worlds apart. The dead littered the land where they fell, leaving rock and soil defiled under a crimson shroud adorned with pale bones. Kingdoms crumbled and skeletal ruins are now the only witness to the symphony of decay. Life, as it always does, found a foothold where death held dominion. For a short time, what was barren, became green once more where the rain poured down in soothing cascades. But war is in peoples' blood… and it will come upon the lands once more.(Storyline via IGDB)
