In a land far to the North of the Old World, a benevolent king ruled his peaceful subjects, and all was well... Until the darkness came...
It came from beneath, they said, creeping and crawling across the ground, encasing the land like mud. As the people walked in it, they felt their greatest horrors realized, and died to prevent what they saw as the inevitable future. And from their corpses rose beasts that preyed upon the survivors, until none remained. What that land has since become is but a collection of tales, most of them fanciful, some of them true, and all of them extremely unpleasant.
Further to the South, in a land known as Hylenara, the people readied themselves to fight the horror in the North, as it spread, the Hylenarians found the one way to fight it... FIRE.
But their own plan backfired against them, as one careless soldier by the name of Joe Moogle burned down the entire capital city of Hylenara with by dropping his torch.
The only survivor of the catastrophe, he fled South, and scarred only with a morbid fear of fire, boarded a ship destined for a New Land.
No-one from the Old World has seen him since...
