The history of Tetra.

In the time before times, great Gods of good and evil ruled this land. Neveris, God of Light brought fourth the goodly races of men and elves, populating this fertile world of streams, mountains, and roaming valleys. But Sheiru, God of Darkness, brought fourth monsters to Tetra to rid it of its good inhabitance for fear of them one day dominating the world he helped to create. In this act, Dragons were born.

A hundred years passed as Sheiru built his forces, and in 109Ac, he struck. Called the King of Monsters by some, Dragons roamed the land with great armies of monsters from around the globe to weed out all who opposed them and their Dark Lord. In an alliance to take back their world, the two most powerful nations rose up to fight. Opal, city of Elves, and Guardhaven, the city of Men.

Fierce battles raged for 10 years and in the end, a group of Dragon Knights from Gaurdhaven known as the Lance Company struck down the ancient red dragon, Blood Gem, the Dragon King and brought an abrupt end to the war. As a compromise, Sheiru was given leave to create his own kingdom in which to oversee the world. Signing the Pact of Rivas, Sheiru promised to stay his hand in any more acts of aggression against the world of men.

It was now 300Ac and peace was known then throughout the land of Tetra for another 300 years. Now is the time when you are born and as of late strange signs and ominous warnings have begun to appear. Who knows what great secret they are the harbinger to...?
