Goblins from the sun, filled with burning light; Wolves from the moon, chilling in their plight; Dragons from the heavens, flying from their birth; And Man from the fires, deep within the Earth
And so things were, with Man living in the North, unaware of his Southern neighbors. And so things were, and so things might have stayed, were it not for great evils that began to sweep the land.
Man's blow was the softest, for it had been checked before it had gained true power: the Wars of Six. However, soft is relative.
The other races were not so fortunate. Their encounter came swift and subtle, a striking snake. A hooded figure came his pale hand destroying armies. He became known as the Dark One.
At this time a plague emerge, a terrible, mentally-degrading plague. Together with the Dark One, they formed the Army of Plague.
Eventually, only one stronghold remained for the free ones. But it was too late to stop the Army. In a final stand, all of the priests joined their powers together in one great spell. The earth spilled open, pouring liquid fire upon all in sight. Almost all were consumed.
When Man came from the north, the confused and disorganized Wolves struck out, soon joined by Dragons and Goblins. They had no power to resist Man's counterattack. Driven into hiding, they were all but forgotten.
3,000 years have passed since then, and man dominates the Earth. A council for the Allied Countries convenes in Irnthis, and life rumbles on. Two guards, Ecaro and Jalan, have the fourth watch. As mysterious events unfold, strange rumors begin to emerge. Rumors of the Black Six, rumors of Death, and rumors of ultimate doom. And soon rumors, will no longer just be rumors.

Good job on this, I really enjoyed how expansive the city was and how you could pretty much talk to everyone. That sidequest with the thieves at the bar is ingenious. I will be watching this game.
