The Beginning 1.1 It began, as always, with the desire for power. A need to conquer, a hunger to consume. Inevitably, this led to conflict. Humanity fought an endless war against the Darkness, until it was forced to unite against a power far greater than it had ever known. But even united, the Guardians left only destruction in their wake. Despite their best efforts at survival, the Guardians of The Last City continue to march blindly to their imminent doom; unaware, that their misguided attempts at retaliation were only leading them ever closer to extinction. They had thought us crippled by their weapons of light. But to survive is to endure and prosper. And we have most certainly survived. The Iron Temple now stands as the last bastion for Humanity. A final, desperate defense in the face of impossible odds. In a way, I pity them. But Humanity, as always, brought this war upon itself.
