Right, I got a full story.
Otopia was in full-out war. THe fighting was over one thing: The Shien Cristal (not mispelt btw). It would give the owner the power of a God. Every army wanted a godly king, so they fought and fought. All the races were against each other. The holder of the Shien Cristal at the time was a dark lord. He was skilled in every magic. Soon enough, these armies split up because of the fear they had for the dark lord. He had no name. Soon after, factions of people; individual races, started building towns and villages. Still, they fought the other armies, because they didn't want them to get the crystal and because they probably had a hatred for them. Then something disappointed them all: The crystal was destroyed.
Their anger caused the Great War of the Centuries to happen.
This is where you step in.
