Magic became important in the war of good versus evil. As Bastiaan created a throne and named himself emperor of the world, people began to band together to form the Resistance, to destroy Bastiaan and his evil minions forever...

The war raged as elves fought elves, brothers fought brothers, dwarves sprang up from their mines to destroy goblin-spawn forever, and goblin-spawn arose and wreaked havoc on villages and farms....
