Five years ago, the greatest war of the age washed over the continent. The witches of the Alabaster Spire declared openly for the Stranger and the nations of Tyrgia fell upon them.
Jacob the Mad, King of Caryth, had fallen into the grip of powerful Friends of the Dark, and the priests of the other gods were put to death.
The skies cracked open. Rain and hail fell for days. Tear, most pious of nations, seeing the wrath of Caemlyn on the horizon, raised a coalition of nations against Caryth.
The war was short, but bloody. The armies of the Coalition rolled over Caryth and two years after the war began, the Alabaster Spire was besieged.
After six months of siege, a Knight of Marus raised an irregular unit of remnant soldiers and stormed the Spire.
Against all odds, the company made a mad dash for the throne room, just in time to find a pair of angels cutting the throat of Jacob the Mad.
This ragtag band became the first in the known history of the world to successfully invade the Spire, and prophecies, nearly as ancient as the Spire itself, bespoke of such heroes as being instrumental in the last turning of ages, the cycle's end.
