Prologue
The world had changed. The Evil One had come, and changed the world. No-one knew where he'd come from really, and few cared to know. They cared only to survive his bloody conquest. Those that conformed lived restricted lives as second-class citizens to those that wielded magic and were loyal to their new ruler. Those that surrendered and sacrificed their destiny for Good now worked beside the demons and warlocks that still desired to kill them for their powers; that they had once protected the innocent from. Only the absolute power of their Lord stopped them from attacking each other.
Those that rebelled died. At first simple executions were employed, but soon most suffered an extensive stay in the dungeons and torture chambers of the new dictator; by the time they died they were glad for the reprieve. Still, rebellion stirred, and grew.
The war was devastating. Demon against demon. Witch against witch. Warlock against warlock. Mortal against mortal. Previous loyalties mattered little; only the fight to survive, and win.
All that was left behind was desolation and destruction. The rebellion withdrew underground, the dictator to his sky-scrapers. Anyone left lived on the streets or in mortal-approved areas, a cross between suburbia and the concentration camps of old.
The world had changed.
Magic now ruled the world.
