II - Ulkas storyline:Ulkas started in the Ralao Mountains, purposeless and alone. After coming into contact with the dangerous wildlife of the surface, he met the dangerous yet enthralling Astrosa, a fellow demoness. Barely escaping alive thanks to a sudden display of his own powers, he vowed to become stronger to survive.
His wanderings led him to the ruined castle of the Valern kingdom. Here he met the lingering spirit of an ancient valernite knight, Dovarus. Through the exchange with the undead, Ulkas found new means to further his goals, and managed to trick a deity "Tinzakena the god of Lies and Truth", and steal enough power from it to emerge transformed.
He then left, clashing with Dahak, a curious skeleton on the way. A while later, in a curious coincidence he met once more the crimson demoness, Astrosa. Finding benefits and a kindred spirit in the other, they decided to ally to strengthen together. With their combined might, they first ravaged the village of Doro, fighting and defeating there a chosen warrior of Tinzakena.

III - Caedan storyline:Caedan started as an amnesiac, lost vampire at the eastern border of Fordania. His first contact with humans reminded him that his monstrous origins made humans see him as a threat. Wandering and accumulating power by defeating the rising undead of the plains of Easenval, he eventually found his way to the village of Doro, which was under attack of a powerful, twisted animated armor.
Saving the life of the humans Ramas and Firande, he escaped from the accursed place. The strange reaction of Ramas to his vampiric blood left him intrigued, and they ended up traveling together as a strange trio. This night changed Caedan, as a curious dream reminded him of a past he couldn't remember. Now with a quest for his lost memories, he had a purpose.
Managing to move undetected among humans, they traveled to the city of Eastarm. Once Firande was healed, they left, not wishing to waste too much time there.
Following his instinct, Caedan eventually arrived to a strange area, where his memories seemed to resurface. He met a songstress named Vanare. The woman sought Caedan help for a task linked to ancient ruins, which he gladly accepted, hoping to find more clues.
Caedan managed to enter one of these ruins, with results far exceeding any of his expectations. The Levemite Library, vestige of an ancient country called Levem, revealed secrets about his past and the past of the world.
A crisis not unlike the current one destroyed the civilizations of the past, where there was no distinctions between humans and monsters. Maybe Caedan will find answers.
