IC:

650 years ago, the magic’s of light and dark
clashed in a war that shook all of Elibe.
The Dark Gods battled the Light God
Thousands were slaughtered and lost.
Cities and wonders crumbled
at the mere coming of the conflict.
After a century of war, the two sides at last
came to a stalemate and lived
together in an uneasy peace.
The church of darkness slipped into the
shadows, but grew in even greater numbers.
The church of light lived on in
the Kingdom of Etruria while spreading
their faith as well.
Nearly seven centuries have passed since the dark days of the war…….

Prologue:

Elibe is a land full of people who follow great faiths carefully observed by many across the continent…
Etruria and Nabata’s populace are observant nations of the Faith of the Light founded by the Church of Light under the symbolic leadership of the King of Etruria.
Bern and Lycia have a people equally observant of the Dark Faith brought by the Church of Darkness under the control of an Overlord bound for godhood, who rules from the Temple of Xeudinra somewhere in Bern.
The Anima Faith is dominant among the people in Ilia and Sacae without a leader, but widley practiced among the people of both nations
The Church of Light, founded under St. Elimine, preaches of peace and love under the worship of their loving Light God.
The Church of Darkness, founded under the legendary Overlord Peter, preaches of submitting to the human desires and bringing satisfaction to their Dark Gods.
The Anima Faith, founded by the ancient Sacaens, profess in the belief of spirits born from Mother Earth and Father Sky who give birth to these spirits everyday, who act every day to create the events that occur and are worshipped in hope of gaining favor.
The Faiths of Light and Darkness one-day came into conflict with one another and resulted in a war that shook the entire continent.
The Church of Light had the advantage of power but the Church of Darkness had the advantage of numbers.
These two conflicting advantages resulted in a war that lasted for 100 years, eventually resulting in a stalemate and beginning an uneasy peace with one another.
Today, 650 years later, both faiths have grown back to the numbers they once had centuries ago.
But now, an unknown force has begun to stir within the continent. As of now, the followers of the Dark Faith have been seen traveling across Bern, and for strange reasons have begun headed towards Etruria….

Foot of Bern Mountains

“Come brothers, we must make haste to Etruria.” Ordered the leader of the shamans going down the hill. They ran from the forces following them as if they did not know they were to soon reach Etruria.

Behind them were forces from Etruria itself. The warriors couldn’t be less proud for the fact of their leader, King Dante of Etruria, was leading them to the shamans. However, Dante would not travel alone, the wandering Priestess Jenna followed his side, almost at all times. No one, other than Dante, knew the true identity of this mysterious woman, but she was always able to give him great advice and no one yet has questioned her motives. Dante looked down the mountain and saw the shamans running from them. The night wind blew through his black hair as he stood observing the dark magic users. He turned to his advisor, the mysterious Priestess, and asked, “Lady Jenna… are those the men we have been searching for?”….

Jenna looked up, wondering for what the King was distrubing her thoughts. Looking down at the shamams, who were fleeing. She idly wondered if they were running for truth or as bait for a trap before looking back over at Dante.

"Those are the ones you seek." She replied in a voice that was melodic but told little other than the gender of the speaker.

Dante brought his gaze back to the shamans and decided he and his men would now had to catch up with them. He turned to head back to the encampment and gave the orders: "All right men, the shamans are within our reach now. We must question their motives, so do not attack until I give the word." Dante saw his soldiers of Etruria ready themselves to meet with the dark magic users and turned to Michael. "Shem, I need you to take a regiment into the forests. If Jenna's feelings are correct, there may be an ambush lying in wait for us."

Shem answered, "I will my lord. Men, follow me." and led his regiment into the forests near the path of the shamans' path...

OOC: I'll have more info on Shem latter.

Erik. the son of the king of Bern, sat at a table in his father's court. He was relaxing. There was much relaxing done, because times had been easy. However, he had just recieved a message about a mysterious group. He decided to investigate soon, and he would take his personal force of soldiers with him.

Dante and his men marched down towards the shamans. Dante first attempted to slow them down by asking them, "You men! Where are you headed to?"

The leader shaman turned around and ordered, "Come out my brothers! We must now take the fight to the king!" With that, the shamans turned around and were ready for battle. Out of the bushes the shamans were headed to, four knights and four archers came out prepared for battle.

"... It would seem these men are not willing to come quietly... Men, assume attack postitions, we must defeat them!" With Dante's order, the soldiers began to attack...

Meanwhile, in the forests...

Shem and his men looked around for any ambushers. They saw four shamans, two archers and two soldiers prepared to ambush the king. Shem ordered, "Attack them! Don't let them reach the king!" and a battle between Shem's regiment and the ambushers began...

OOC: Just figured out how.

IC: Two battles were now raging and both seemed unable to tip the scales. Shem and his men kept Dante and his forces from being overflanked by the ones in the forests. One soldier though, was just about to get ready to throw his spear from afar, but all of a sudden felt something behind him too soft to be a tree but too tall to be human. The soldier turned around to see what it was and saw a giant man infront of him. He was slightly intimitated by the mans size, but kept himself from making it too obvious, "S-sir... You might want to leave this area, there is a battle taking place right now"...

OOC: Remeber, the soldier doesn't know he's an archer

"Tell me where your commanding officer is. I believe I might be able to help you." He replied, grinning as he saw what he believed to be fear cross the mans face.

The soldier was about to question why until he saw a bow in the giant man's hand. "If this guy really is crazy enough to join the fray, then he might be able to help..." Thought the soldier. If the man's size wasn't enough, he must at least have enough skill with a bow. The soldier answered, "Okay, if you wish to fight along side Commander Shem, he is at the front lines north from here. If you wish to fight along side Lord Dante, he is on the fields beyond these woods."...

Jenna watched the battle from a distance, thought those that were taken off the lines and brought back for aid, she tended to.

The soldier saw the man walk off to the fields. The soldier could only hope now that the man would not turn on Dante and his forces. The fighting between Shem's Regiment and the ambushers barely changed, only one soldier on both sides had fallen so far. Shem had managed to defeat one of the shamans while another shaman slew one of his knights.

Meanwhile, on the fields...

The battle on the fields was much more violent than in the woods. Both sides had so far lost three men, though the casualties could have been worse if Jenna was not around to help heal the Etrurian forces. Dante defeated one of the knights after a heated duel...

Current Battle Status:
Etruria vs. Shamans
Etruria Forces: 17 (Dante, 6 knights, 2 clerics, 6 soldiers, 2 archers)
Shaman Forces: 13 (Leader Shaman, 10 shamans, 2 knights, 4 archers)

Shem's Regiment vs. Ambushers
Shem's Regiment: 9 (Shem, 5 soldiers, 2 archers, 1 knight)
Ambushers: 7 (3 shamans, 2 archers, 2 soldiers)

To Dante: "Hail, I see you have a bit of a problem. Who do you worship, and what can you give me if I help?"

Dante turned around and saw the giant archer who came from the woods. He seemed to be a mercenary who appeared at the right time to help. Dante answered him, "We are followers of the Light God sir, but if you are of a different faith I am sure we can use your help."

"If you require payment for services, I can offer you whatever your usual wages are made by your employers, but if it must be higher I am able to add to it."...

Jenna let out a mild swear word as one of her treatements failed to take hold and her patient perished. With a faint, sorrowful sigh, she closed the dead soldier's eyes and moved onto the next.

On the Fields...
While Dante and the archer were talking, Dante noticed a shaman preparing a spell to use on the archer. Dante warned him, "Look out!" and jumped ahead to strike down the shaman with his axe. The spell though fired off into the air, but wouldn't kill anyone on the field. Dante would find out how much the archer wanted as soon as the conditions were right for talking again.

In the Forest...
Shem and his men were advancing more towards victory as Shem took out one of the archers. Another soldier was about to kill another archer, but they both ended up killing each other as soon as the soldier threw his spear and the archer fired his arrow. Shem ordered, "Come men! The enemy is nearing defeat! Let us now press all of our might against them now, charge!" and the soldiers charged towards the ambushers...

Current Battle Status:
Etruria vs. Shamans
Etruria Forces: 17 (Dante, 6 knights, 2 clerics, 6 soldiers, 2 archers)
Shaman Forces: 12 (Leader Shaman, 9 shamans, 2 knights, 4 archers)

Shem's Regiment vs. Ambushers
Shem's Regiment: 8 (Shem, 4 soldiers, 2 archers, 1 knight)
Ambushers: 5 (3 shamans, 2 soldiers)

Jenna had aided those whose injuries could be treated or healed and gave medicine to those who were dead but hadn't gotten to the dying to put them to sleep so they didn't feel the pain of the injuries. She hoped that the conflict would end soon so that there was no more death.

IC:

On the fields
"Well done. Ah, anyway..." commented the archer after Dante slew the archer, "Your faith is different, but I can follow you. Anyway, I can join you for a total of 3,550 gold. What do you say?"
Dante considered this for a few seconds and answered, "Very well then. I shall pay you your desired amount, but you shall have it once the battle is done, seeing I have no access to the funds out here."
The archer nodded and answered, "Very well then. Well, I believe I shall begin now. You shall know me as Kilshan. I hope we do well together on every battle field we fight along side on."
The two men continued the battle and Kilshan proved his worthiness in an instant. He shot his arrows and shot two arrows killing them. It came with a problem though, an ache acted up in his elbows due to his growth, but he was still able to continue
Meanwhile, Dante had slain another knight and was about to move on to the leader of the shamans.

In the forest...
Shem and his men had at last defeated the ambushers. Both soldiers and a shaman were defeated. One of the shamans ordered, "Come Simon. We must leave this area at once!" The two shamans were running, but Shem noticed that one shaman was shorter than the one who ordered him. Shem rode ahead and grabbed the shorter shaman, taking him as a prisoner while the other ran to the fields....

Etruria vs. Shamans:
Etruria: 18 (Dante, Kilshan, 6 knights, 2 clerics, 6 soldiers, 2 archers)
Shamans: 9 (Leader Shaman, 10 shamans, 1 knight, 2 archers)

Shem's Regiment vs. Ambushers:
Shem's regiment is victorius.
Shem's Regiment: 8 (Shem, 4 soldiers, 2 archers, 1 knight) 1 shaman is a prisoner.
