The World of Ardonia is a vast land, home to many diverse people, strange creatures and dangerous monsters. Hidden among the shadows of dense forests, beneath the sands of treacherous deserts, and frozen within the ancient mountains of the north, are secrets and mysteries which have eluded our comprehension throughout the ages.

Few of these mysteries, however have attracted such fascination and the Ardoni species, for which the land shares its name.

The Ardoni possess the unique ability to wield great power known and Songs.

The strongest of these powers were referred to as Prime Songs, and were deemed too powerful for the Ardoni to wield freely. Thus, they were given to the masters of the four Ardoni clans as a sign of peace and unity.

Because of this, the clans were blinded to a great danger.

From within the fires of the Nether realm, an army set out to conquer the Overworld. They vanquished the kingdoms and people of Ardonia as they spread across the land.
But they were not to remain unchallenged.

The Ender Knights returned during these dark times, long having been guardians of the Overworld. The two opposing realms clashed with a fury of inconceivable power.

Yet the Nether had prepared well for this invasion- and even the legendary Ender Knights could not stop them.With no other hope of victory, the kingdoms called upon the Ardoni to wield the Prime Songs.

Reluctantly, the clans agreed, and held a tournament to determine which Ardoni would become their champion and wield all four Prime Songs.

One rose above the rest- persistent, cunning, and powerful. The champion had been found.
When presented with the Prime Songs however, he revealed himself as Ingressus− leader of the long-forgotten and dreaded Voltaris clan.

Outraged, the masters refused to give Ingressus the Prime Songs... for it was due to their misuse of such power that they had been banished long ago.

That night, while the clans debated their next course of action, Ingressus set out alone to reclaim the Prime Songs. One by one he slayed the masters of the Kaltaris, Sendaris, and Mendoris clan. Through these dark deeds, he became known as the Deathsinger.

The fourth and final master, Aegus Nestoris, survived the massacre, thus protecting the last and most powerful Prime Song.

The Ardoni mourned the tragedy. They vowed to huntdown the Deathsinger and to prevent him from obtaining the final Prime Song.

It was at this time that the Voltaris clan returned from exile and joined the Deathsinger in his revenge. However, even with their support he knew that he was outmatched. With all of Ardonia now his enemy... there is only one place to turn.

The Deathsinger met with King Chronos of the Netherand formed the most powerful alliance ever known.

And thus began the Great War.
