INTRODUCTION

The Homeworld of Asshor.

Long ago, the Great Lords adapted to a new world order after the cataclysm. They embraced the opportunities that came with the inevitable destruction of their world. The bloody wars between kings and their subjects have long since ended, replaced by true heroes who gained the strength of Gods. Amidst the endless strife and cruelty, at least three-quarters of the world's population perished.

Over the centuries that followed the cataclysm, all memory of the carefree times before the tragedy completely withered away from the minds of the common people. Over thousands of years, new legends and myths emerged, glorifying entirely different heroes. Old cities turned to dust at the snap of the new Gods' fingers, and slaves built new ones in their place. But these are stories of long-past eras.

Nowadays, for hundreds of years, the Great Lords, at the behest of their Gods, have been sending soldiers and subjects to other worlds.

In some places, they go as valiant defenders or mercenaries.

In others, they act as limitlessly greedy marauders.

Most often, however, these campaigns are nothing more than bloody pillages of those beings who are unable to defend themselves or their property.
