A Kingdom Of Darkness

The world of Alteran is one wrought by chaos, ruled with an iron fist by Haldore and his mighty Black Army. Even the mighty dragon Moltrix hides in his Mountain, though those who wander too close end up becoming his dinner or some animal’s dinner. Those who have defied him in the past have all since perished, and hope has withdrawn from the people of Alteran. Even the wizards of old tremble in fear to Haldore\'s great power. They cry out in desperate help, for a new era to begin, one without the corruption of power, yet their cries fall silent, and they oblige and listen to their ruler, who has brought them peace, despite the rebellions.
In between cities and Fortresses, merchants travel, trading goods with many, while being ravaged by bands of thieves. Many who attempt to leave the city usually befall a horrible and gruesome death to the Black Army, a wild animal, or to thieves for some pennies. The people grow weary, and long for change.
Until Artuck. A creation of Haldore\'s, the people see him as the wicked ruler\'s \'son,\' despite his good acts. Having witnessed the deaths of those he cared about firsthand, he decides it\'s time to fight back. With all Alteran has to offer. With the full power of its strength, heart, mind, and soul.
But Haldore will not be so easily intimidated, for he has dark plans of his own. Will Artuck and his group of Alteran\'s last hope shine? Or will they be snuffed out, too?
