Centuries ago, the Tenebris, a mysterious race of obsidian skinned people, opened a portal to Earth and invaded. Shortly after their arrival, the Elders, Faerie, and Mage guilds followed and defended Earth.
Within weeks, the Tenebris were driven back to their world. Soon after, the Elders had influence in the governments of the world. The Mage guild was forced into hiding by the Elders. The Faerie secluded themselves in uninhabited areas and only communicated with the other races when they needed to trade or were desperate. The Men of Earth mostly went back to their normal lives. Occasionally they revolt against the Elders.
Over time, the Mage guild began to come out of hiding and those who did joined the Coven, an international community of Warlocks, Witches, Crones, Sages, and all other forms of magic users. Members of the Coven take jobs for the other races, the jobs varying from delivering messages to carrying out assassinations.
