The world has become a vast wasteland, the source is unknown, yet many people blame the Mages. They were not far off.
When the catalyst occurred and destroyed a majority of the world, monster began to appear. Though these 'monsters' held signs of human intellect. They then became known as the Extraspecies and there were a vast amount of them, to the point they outnumbered the remaining humans 10:1. But we all lived in peace with them, until what is known as the "Dark Catalyst" occurred. Soon the humans who had perished five hundred years prior in the first catalyst rose from the grave at first they were thought to be of the Zombie Extraspecies, but they were wrong. Soon battles between the dead and living were a part of everyday life and it hardened the softest of hearts for a long time. Five hundred years.....five hundred years of constant fighting with dead and a solution to the endless was found. A third catalyst must occur, but this one had to purify the land and the research showed, that masters of each form of magic must gather at the center of the catalyst sight and undo the dark magic. For one hundred years people have attempted this, yet all have been stopped, by all manner of undead beasts and their Necromancer controllers.


Your story begins in Stronghold XIII, the mightiest and largest of all living settlements. The other twelve have been overrun and it is now time to fight back and retake your homes, retake your world and to put an end to the Necromancer King and his thirteen Generals. Good luck and may the Hope guide your path.

The Hope

A source of magic that was created by the survivors. It is filled with the purest desires and intentions of all the living and is the bane of all the undead. True Mages refer to it as Holy Magic, but they humour the people and call it Hope. For it brings the people Hope when all creatures fade from its power. Few people know how to wield this pure magic in its most powerful form. It is myth that one most be, pure of heart, mind, body and soul to unleash its full power.
