-The Scarlet Queen used to be something very different. It was not a monarch and it was not always red. It was the whisper in the wind that kept the peasants working, looking up in fear of their just famine. It was that innate knowledge of a world of gods and demons that contradicted human action and existed beyond us. It was the cold hunger of a famine that had no rhyme or reason except the cold apathy of a supernatural beyond us. And, if believed enough, she could also be the Devourer. He is a creature of truth, but also of mortality-

-In ancient times history is lost, in modern times many gods are had-

This happened billions ago, on one of the many worlds that fell subjugated by the tyrannical hand of the Scarlet Queen, her unstoppable armies marched across the fields, sailed over the worst seas and plied the highest points of land. the heavens, bringing war and destruction with them wherever they went. In the multiverse there are countless lands with infinite possibilities and origins.

Mondas, the twin planet of a parallel Earth, was conquered by the infernal legions of the Scarlet Queen, finding in this world unique resources of its kind, from large reserves of power and magical objects to organic life forms, the so-called Mondas humans were a An intelligent and peaceful species, until the arrival of the queen who subjected them to her dominion, the Daevites brainwashed the humans and used them as simple pawns.

The human workforce and the abundance of the species impressed the Scarlet Queen, to the point of including the strongest Mondasians among the ranks of her army. At the request of his wife, the son of chaos began the construction of Darkmount on the highest mountain on the planet, an immense fortress surrounded by impenetrable defenses made with the most resistant elements of Mondas. After the initial invasion the human race was pushed to the brink of collapse.

Serve or die was the only rule that was imposed on these humans, who were forced to work as slaves, being subjected and punished by the armies and regents of the Scarlet Queen. Due to the delicate state of the queen's pregnancy, the empire remained stationed on Mondas, with the Daevite priests being the ones who led the rest of the conquest on the planet, the son of chaos was sent along with two of the main legions to the north, where the last resistance between humans and non-humans continued to fight.

Mondas slowly began to freeze as a result of the power of the nefarious weapons that those humans used to prevent the advance of enemy troops, a large part of the planet was plunged into a new ice age, making life impossible on certain continents due to the toxicity that emanated. of the storms.

During ten straight years of war, Mondas became a tragic and withered world whose population was reduced and its resources were extracted without control, specific places on the planet were designated to keep its natural life stable. The sister planet of Mondas was taken shortly after by the Daevites, those other humans turned out to be much stronger and had really powerful weapons that did not allow the legions to advance.

The Queen remained in the heart of Darkmount planning her next move against the rest of the gods, her forces had doubled during her absence and now after giving birth to two healthy daughters she was ready to return to the battlefield, given that the son of chaos was in the northern campaign, he could not meet his first daughters A'tivik and A'ghor who, to the surprise of the Scarlet Queen, inherited the power of chaos from her husband.

With such power in her hands, the queen concluded that an army of children with the power of chaos running through their veins could be her next trump card; no one could oppose her if she had the most powerful creatures. But to do this he must first bring the son of chaos back to his arms, the titans Hydros and Vulcanus made it impossible for the descendant of chaos to achieve victory, both titans had sided with Mondas helping the humans.
