For as long as anyone could remember, vampires ruled the lands. Their superior breeding and power allowed the creatures to crush all other races beneath the weight of their will. By night, they were ruled by the vampires and, by day, the people cried for their god. Werewolves rose to meet the cries for help, but were crushed beneath the might of the vampires. Desperate for liberation, others looked toward the dark arts and the dark gods. Mortals summoned demons from the other side who, in exchange for their own freedom, promised to help the mortals become free.
A century of war, the Immortal War, was waged between the vampire and demon. Both sides were dealt heavy casualties and the damage to the kingdom was more than the mortals could have ever imagined. It was not the kind of freedom they expected. A blood-truce was drawn up between the races calling for an ill-tempered, but ever-lasting peace between the warriors. It was then that the shunned children of those who carried the bestial mark were called back into the fray. They could be turned neither to demon nor to vampire so the cursed ones were the most logical choice to keep the treaty and hold it sacred. Those who were cursed, were now blessed.
Centuries would pass between rulers and the times of war seemed to almost be forgotten. Even when some rulers' deaths seemed somewhat unnatural, the treaty was always upheld. Eventually, the winds of change blew through the lands and the times evolved as well. The future was set in the sights of both the royal houses and the humans, though not forgotten, became the workforce that would build up the lands into something even better than it was before.
But even something as simple as your perception can be deceptive and nothing is ever perfect...
The descendants of the first demons grow tired of sharing their power with old vampires. Vampires have a growing disgust for the childish behavior of these mortal-like demons. And now, with the passing of the latest demon king, the two great races prepare for what is to come. But it seems the werewolves, keepers of the ancient treaty, are being targeted by someone or something. Their numbers are slowly being thinned as if to try to stop the power transfer. All blame seems to fall upon the demons as they are the current keepers of the throne, but the queen is thoroughly denying this action. Everything that seemed to keep the peace for so long is slowly being ripped apart. Is it the vampires? The demons? Or someone else entirely?
