The Demos and Merhite’s have not always ruled the land. In fact there have been many rulers of the two vast Kingdoms. Before them were the Elves; a peaceful race who lead the land into a prosperous age. Along side the Elves were the Varsir, a race which have now become known as The Gods. They were a powerful people and for the most part as peaceful as the Elves, they brought happiness, peace and prosperity to the land. But that peace did not last. A sickness began in the Varsir and some turned from the path of kindness and their power was turned to a darker path, a place of evil. It was these Varsir who claimed Echor for their own and cloaked it in shadows, it was their magic which has forever changed the land into a place of wild magic, energy which crackles and seeps from their resting places. These beings took on the name of Nihilm and were considered children of the dark night. Some were worshipped, boasting themselves as Gods while others simply enjoyed the slaughter. Together they created terrifying beasts and demons, creatures of pure evil which rode along side them, terrible beasts of the hunt. For thousands of years they were locked in a bitter war, an endless cycle of death and decay. With the help of the Vairsir the Elves created great weapons with which they beat back the creeping darkness of the Nihilm and sealed these beings in eternal tombs within the ground. Unfortunately the losses were great to the Varsir who retreated into another realm, abandoning the Elves to rebuild with their fellow man. Once the war was over the Elves retreated themselves, taking the remainder of their number to live on Peralea.
