History:
A country founded on the edge of the sword. It became known as the Kingdom of Dark Warriors early in it's history. Events were often held to find who was the strongest warrior, this was it's downfall. Warriors would kill themselves off in the events. Clans were formed to help keep the warriors alive by paying for healing, but this only served for more competition. During these tournaments law and order fell in to chaos, chivalry fell in to treachery, and the nobles who were once respected slowly died off. They were replaced with their children, who cared only for fame and money. The righteous and just were cut down by thieves and murderers, or worse, they stood up against the nobility and were imprisoned for it. To this day the warriors still fight to be the best, yet sadly no one has ever won the title The Champion of the Westland. What was once a great race of fighters is now little more than wanna be swordsmen, archers, and magicians.

It was also once a land full of magic. Fairyhaunt woods was the favored place of those seeking an adventure, or just looking to relax. But it too has fallen in to chaos now. With no one keeping law in the forest, bandits and cutthroats have set in. Terrible monsters have come to live in the forest, drawn in from the lack of magic it now has. These creatures live in the caves dead hollow trees in the darkest part of the forest. Within the depths of Fairyhaunt there is a gateway to the Outer Veil that leads in to the country of Germany
