The Beginning
After a millennium of peace, trouble began to stir. For the first time in the history of the world, evil began to reach it's claws into the minds of the races. Only those like the Guardians, and Gods were immune to it's effects. Darkness began seeping into the world, infecting it with the will of evil. Small scale wars broke out within and between races. Some even turned on the Gods and Guardians. An alliance formed between those who evil had effected. And soon a full scale battle took place, between the Guardians, and the other races. Not a single death occurred in that battle however, as the Guardians had combined their power and exorcised the darkness within the beings. They drove the darkness back to its origin. Herdes.
Herdes was unhappy with his place in the world. Almost all races feared and hated him. They despised his power, and he was unhappy and lonely in his realm. And so he had plotted revenge upon the other Gods. He unleashed all his demons into the world, and they caused devastation across the land. The leader of the Guardians led the races into battle. It ended in a bloodbath unlike anything that had ever occurred in this world before. And so the other Gods punished Herdes. They banished him from ever entering the Mortal Realm. He was exiled to remain in his own realm, forbidden from ever leaving. The Gods also thought it best if they no longer intervened in the Mortal Realm as well. So laws were laid down, forbidding all Gods and Godlings to interfere in the affairs of the Mortal Realm. Instead they entrusted it to the Guardians. And thus the Pact of the Nine was created.
For a long while, under the watchful eye of the Guardians. The world remained peaceful, and pure.evil had been driven back, though not defeated. Every now and then, The Guardians would be forced to fight a battle, and drive back the darkness.
