(align:"=><=")+(box:"=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=")[War has come to Nair. The once peaceful continent of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Dark Elves, Orcs, and Goblins was once at peace.
(link: "Click to continue")[==The Light Alliance of Humans, Elves, and Dwarves and their beautiful cities are clustered around the left side of the continent, while their counterparts, the Dark Alliance, consisting of Dark Elves, Orcs, and Goblins, control the dark domain that is the right side of the continent.
(link: "Click to continue")[==Just months ago, an ancient artifact was discovered in the terroritory of the Dark Alliance, however, it was discovered by a scouting party from the Light Alliance.
(link: "Click to continue")[==The artifact was retrieved, brought back to the Light Alliance capital city of Argana, at the left-most edge of the continent. There the artifact was analyzed, and it was discovered that it has the power to grant a single wish to the person who uses it.
(link: "Click to continue")[==Upon hearing this, the Council of the Light Alliance, consisting of the King of Elves, Humans, and Dwarves, decided to lock the artifact away, however not before a spy from the Dark Alliance heard of its existance and reported back to their homeland.
(link: "Click to continue")[==The Supreme Ruler of the Dark Alliance, the Dark Elf Azura, demanded the artifact be turned over to him, as the artifact was originally discovered in Dark territory.
(link: "Click to continue")[==Fearing the possible uses of the artifact in enemy hands, the Council refused, leading the continent to the point it is now.
(link: "Click to continue")[==As a famed Strategist for the Light Alliance, your renown is known all across the continent with your strategy resulting in many victories in previous battles. As such, you can expect to be called on to take a larger role in this new war.
