Long ago, in a realm where, before the legendary characters you know and love were born, a great, mysterious evil scoured across the realm, trying to conquer the realm through war and destruction. And so, the people fought each other for many years, unleashing the horrible chaos the evil wanted. Finally, a group of powerful elemental masters from across the realm joined together and combined their powers to destroy this great evil. They succeeded in their mission, but paid the ultimate price to do so. Though the realm returned to a peaceful state, the leaders of the worlds knew that more evil would come eventually, and so, they created 3 "dimension doors", unlike anything their people have ever seen, which could only be unlocked with the use of 3 special keys, which were scattered across the same world as the doors. The leaders also looked across the realms for any suitable heroes'. They could only find 2 heroes' outside their realm – unfortunately, it would take centuries (in their time) for them to be ready. So, they used an ancient spell that would summon many heroes', along with the 2 they had already found, when it would be time for them to come.
That hopeful time is where our story begins….
