Book: In an age long since lost to myth and memory, a race of
supreme giants known as titans ruled over all the lands of Ruin
Mist from their homes on Over-Earth. Without question, titans were
the masters of the gates. They moved freely between realms and
across lands. Darkness came to mark the end of the age of the
titans as surely as there was ever light at the beginning. During
this time of darkness, known as the Great Purge, it was the
greatest of all titans, Ky'el, who gave men, elves, and dwarves
their freedom. By the end of the purge, the only known gate to
Over-Earth was sealed for all time, ushering in a new beginning. A
new age. An age of men, elves, and dwarves. After countless wars
waged against themselves, each other, and the other races, men,
elves, and dwarves settled in to an uneasy peace within their
divided lands. In time, like the titans before them, dwarves became
folk of myth and legend, leaving only absence like a darkness where
once there had been a great presence and a light. The age of men
and elves had arrived, its arrival marked by the coming of the
Great War. Some would call this war Dnyarr's war after the elven
king who started it. Others would call it the War of the Thousand
Year Siege. Those who fought and died would call it the War of Ten
Million Tears. Victory for men above all others brought little joy
even though it ushered in a new age. The age of men. There are some
who fear this age to be Ruin Mist's last. For if men succumb to
darkness, there will be no beginning, and darkness will surely rule
forever. It is in this time at the twilight of the age of men that
those long lost have returned to thwart the darkness. They are the
fallen sons of ages past and present. They are the keepers, the
watchers, and the guardians. They are those who hold the key to
Ruin Mist's future. Get ready to enter In the Service of Dragons
