People say Death is inevitable. The mortals of the First World believe this, they believe that people die, that people pass on to hell, heaven, or simply cease to exist. Though Death is much weaker than it seems. The Ancients know this, and they know how to avoid Death, and how to avoid sickness, and weakness. Mortals feared this, and powerful mages and witches united to shut the Ancients out, locking them into the Beyond, a barren land in another realm. This drove most Ancients mad, and they went on rampages. Few of them remained sane. The First World, for now, was at peace. The tranquility soon ended. A connection between the First World and the Beyond was reawakened, releasing powerful beasts with no mercy or sanity. This time, the mages aren't enough.
