This left the people unattended, and they began reverting to a more primitive state. No higher beings survived the war the Ancients succumbed. This was a war of dominance between the most powerful gods and would be known to history as the War of the Heretics.
A terrible war gripped the Lands, a war born of awesome power and evil wills.

The age they ruled over was known as the golden age, as the Drakoid chronicles tell us. The Lands were once ruled by a race called the Ancients. But let's move on to the actual plot of the game.
