The Rising Sun

A Shadow Ranger was considered to be a harbinger of death, the reapers of the Imperium Iron Kingdom. Taken at birth and trained the second they can hold a weapon, Shadow Rangers were the deadliest warriors alive Coming from any intelligent being that could hold a weapon properly. Orcs, Elves, Humans, Halflings, race did not matter to the Imperium. They only cared for power, the power of holding the greatest army in the world drove the king to madness but the Rangers were blind with loyalty. Following their king's law and rule without hesitation, it took many years but all kingdoms and all species united and used everything they had to killing the king and his followers. Though they won, it was a steep price to pay. The lives of many warriors were lost that day and the Imperium Iron Kingdom was destroyed along with its citizens and all its secrets.

The Shadow Rangers were assumed to have all been killed in the attack and a pact was formed that day by the leaders of all the species and all the kings of the kingdoms. No one was to form an army like the Shadow Rangers, if word got out that this was happening all others will join forces again to stop them. No matter the cost the darkness that consumed the king could not spread.
