[b]Introduction[/b]
For as long as time could remember, the continent of Revea was united under the prosperous rule of the Alidan Emperors. It was over a century ago, when Alidan Typhon took the throne, a reign of tyranny, the likes that never have been seen before, had began. The young emperor abused and exploited his people, using the accursed Anathema to keep the population in line and crushed those who rose against him. So great was Typhon's hubris, that he even challenged the gods, believing himself to be their better.

His despicable ways were not meant to last, for heroes arose from all  over Revea. Wielding ancient relics and all-powerful abilities, they each lead whole armies against the hordes of atrocities that had served Typhon.

After a bloody struggle that lasted over many years, the heroes had finally broke through Typhon's defenses and forced him to a wall. Alas, despite their efforts, the heroes were robbed of their final triumph. The mad tyrant, loath to admit defeat, decided to destroy himself together with his empire instead, cursing the lands that stretched miles around it.
 
With Alidan Typhon defeated, the peace that many had given up their lives for, still did not return to Revea. With their common enemy no more, the heroes turned to each other, establishing their own countries out of what was left from the fallen empire. A series of ever escalating wars were waged with the ambition to one day become the one true ruler of the entire continent.
 
Preoccupied with this long lasting struggle for power and dominance, many had set forgotten of the oppression and cruelty brought about by the late Alidan Typhon. None were aware that his defeat not long ago, was merely a ploy to deceive the world. Typhon not only possessed overwhelming power and influence, but also extraordinary foresight and cunning that was second to none. He knew that continuing to face the eight heroes would lead to his eventual defeat. To hand them this temporary victory was a sacrifice that he deemed necessary.

In the ruins of his fallen empire, the essence of Alidan Typhon continued to linger. It was scarce and thinly spread out, but over the course time, had accumulated enough to have caused some sort of influence towards a select few among the Anathema. If you had not figured it out yet, you are one of them.
 
[b]Frequently Asked Questsions[/b]
[Hider][b]Who are the Anethema?[/b]
Once upon a time, before there was even the Alidan Empire, there existed a mortal tribe which rebelled against and even attempted to kill a god. For this crime they were cursed and transformed into grotesque beasts, forever banished to live as outcasts in the secluded forests of Revea. During the reign of Emperor Typhon, Anathema returned to the heartland of Revea, and stories of their atrocities are still told to this day. With the tyrant gone, they were again shunned by the world.[/Hider]
