Everyone wants a Villain to blame, but no one ever wants to figure out what actually made them what they became. But like every hero the Villain has a side to tell and this is but one such story.
Airkatu has a rich history and a tragic past. The kingdom was birthed by nomadic settlers long ago. Led by a forever beloved King, Astrodome the Wise. For centuries the Village lived in peace under Astrodome's steady hand until a peculiar illness ran rampant across the land. Sweeping through the village, decimating the population and breaking the very fragile thread of life that everyone in Airkatu held near and dear. Those that survived the bloody touch began to change with no explanation causing a great divide amongst the land separating Airkatu into three distinct groups. The blood savages, the night prowlers, and the unaffected.
The Blood Savages were the population that were most feared, they fed upon their friends and family members without so much as a remorseful look upon their cold features. The night prowlers were just as feared across the kingdom, with animal like brute strength. The unaffected were just the middle man lost in a world that no longer made sense to them, shutting themselves in and fearing the things that lurked in the darkness. War tore apart across the kingdom map between the groups each just fighting for survival dreaming of the days of old, but those days always being out of reach.
