The land of Kronnland is a mythical, wonderful land, spreading for almost a million miles in length. Many races live peacefully in it: The brave humans, divided into four kingdoms, The Dumadian Empire, the Western Federation , the Banetholith Enclave and the Storm Fortress, the savage Orcs, the noble Elves, the agile Trolls, the mighty Tundra Giants, the fearless Drakonians, the sneaky Ratmen, the sturdy Dwarves, the mysterious Deathguards and the watery Tidal Wyrms, amongst many others.
Even if the humans owned only a tenth of the continent, their explorations outside it reached ten times the length of if, indicating that the planet is huge. In their explorations, they also colonized a number of small islands. One of those was Altheria, a small island over 600 miles to the west of the continent. Barely ten square miles, the island was quickly inhabited, and since it's population was mostly composed of war veterans, the citizens of Altheria chose to never spill one drop of blood on this new land. This became a law in Altheria, and absolutely no bloodshed occurred for hundreds of years, thus the island being renamed "The island of Peace'.
One day,the young farmer Danny Blaze saw in the distance, while looking towards the sea, a ship. Since the island was extremely far from any other human settlement, such sighting became the most incredible news for about three months. All the youngsters wanted to know what was it, wanted to see the outer world, once they realized that there is life outside that peaceful island, but soon enough, the elders convinced then it was foolish of them to think of running away, as nobody approached the island since the colonization.
Even so, a friend of Danny Blaze, Bren Stone, still wanted to run, to escape from the boringness and routine of the life in Altheria. Despite Danny's pleads and the advices and even threats of the elders, Bren stole a fishing boat and met the first ship that sailed in that area. He was not to be seen again for 20 years.
Finally, one day, 20 years after Bren left, Danny saw the exact same ship that took Bren 20 years before. Since a massive storm was also approaching, he went inside his house. Only minutes later, the ship sailed at full speed into Altheria's harbor , creating a huge explosion and a shockwave. All the citizens of Altheria, fewer than two hundred, gathered around the burning wreck and waited for the rain to extinguish the flames. They didn't had to wait. A cloaked figure appeared from the smoke. Danny recognized the man immediately. It was Bren, and he was carrying a red, glowing orb.
"Citizens of Altheria! I have returned! The outer world is worse than expected!! Yet still, I managed to survive.... and not only that! I became king! I became the King of the Western Federation, a large human kingdom in the gigantic continent known as Kronnland! But as a king, I made enemies, and these enemies overthrew me! Now, they are coming here... to murder me! I beg you, altherians, defend me! I will grant you your heart's desires if commander Andrew Ice , who is chasing me right now, will be dead by tomorrow!" said Bren, loudly.
"Bren, your absence made you lose your sense! Altheria is the land of Peace! No blood shall be spilled on this island! We're no fighters!" responded Danny, and turned around to leave.
The crowd agreed with Danny. They all turned around and left the harbor. Bren, angered, whispered to himself:
"If they won't defend me willingly.... I will MAKE them protect their new master!"
Bren cast a spell, and a red flash blinded everyone, except Danny, who was too far already. Everyone else fell, dead, on the ground.... only to be raised as Bren's mindless undead puppets. Horrified, Danny ran towards Bren.
"What have you done, fool? You broke the laws of the land! You will bring only death and destruction to this island!"
" Ah, so you'd better stay with them?" asked Bren pointing towards the sea.
Indeed, a large fleet was approaching at full speed. At the light of a thunder, Danny noticed that the ships were prepared for war.
