In darkness, there shall be light, In the presence of fear comes hope, When justice is absent, vengeance will rise, When the ashes of the created fall upon creation, My champion among champions will lead the army I shall leave behind for you shall be my will made manifest...

In the crimson fires of the burning heart, I shall mold you, through fire and ice you shall be tempered, Clad in living steel you shall stand against the enemies of the created, From thy flesh and blood your oaths shall be made clear, From thy bone shall fashion weapons of unimaginable power, Thy mind shall be broken and remained until you can withstand temptations of the corrupted.

You are my Knights, You are my enforcers, The defenders of creation, The eternal champions of the created, The embodiment of Honor and loyalty, You shall serve for thy duty is Eternal now and forevermore.

- The First Maker.

In the earlier years of creation before the time of the Great Founder, there was but utter darkness within that darkness is said to be the First Maker. He who had slept for millennia on end without a single thought or emotion the First maker slept without thought or reason to exist or awaken.

One day the Maker dreamed of living sentient being with thought, emotion, and reason thus the day of the created was made whole. Through his dreams the realms were born, from his blood came the seas and stars, from his flesh, came the earth, from his sight came to light, his mind made wisdom of men, and his heart made the Mother of the created.

Through his sacrifice, the First maker gave life to creation as his spirit ascended thus creating the Great heavens and the realm of solace. Through the Great Mother, she carried the will of the first maker and made creation to what it is today.

As the realms grew expanding in all directions, Many races born not of the Mother's making. One of these races is called the Custodians a mighty race of humanoid species who value knowledge greatly above all things they are well known for their skills to see the building blocks of life and able to manipulate the living body.

Another race born from the fragment of the First Maker known as the Xar-gesh meaning warrior in the native tongue of Xer-ragzh. The Xar-gesh are proud warriors who value strength, honor, and loyalty above all else they may fight in the field of battle with the strength of a million men in hand. They are wildly known for their voice as a speaker of the common folk despite having godly strength and many disciplines in battle.

The Mother had blessed the Custodians with the title of Wisdom bearers as their knowledge willingly shared with those who wish to learn.

Whilst the Xar-gesh was given the title of protectors of the created they take great pride in such a title they had never failed in their duty to defend those who have no voice to speak.

Among all races on creation, none escaped the mother's watchful eyes had never gone unnoticed.

They are the Ur-re'var or Humans in the common tongue they are many, they do not possess the strength and discipline of the Xar-gesh and the Knowledge of the Custodians.

They possess an uncanny ability to adapt and evolve through the harshest conditions and survive the toughest of trials gaining them the mantle of Sheppards by the mother. Despite the protests of the Custodians, they dared not fight against the Xar-gesh who stood by the oath made to stand as the Sheppards protectors until they are ready to take on their responsibility.

The Mother is pleased with the nobility of the Xar-gesh the Custodians could not bear the thought of lesser creatures to take on the mantle of responsibility. Thus they used their vast knowledge to craft weapons of destructive power and enslaved the Xar-gesh and altering the bodies of these might warriors making the damage to them becoming permanent.

Thus the Xer-ragzh was born from the malevolent desires they still bare the mantle of protectors they defended the Sheppards. At the cost of them being turned into slaves to the will of the Custodians though they incurred the mother's anger. The Xer-ragzh forgave and chose to live as slaves to protect the Sheppards as they see what the mother sees in the Humans.

For a time there was peace an unsettling one but peace nonetheless this was never to last forever.

Creation's birth and the mother's tampering of what should not have been made angered the darkness as it created monsters of unsightly forms and beastly strength.

As the hoards of the dark-ones poured upon creation like a hurricane the fell hoards destroyed many realms, turning them into ghastly forms of unsightly horrors. The created suffered in the hands of the dark-ones each soul was offered to the dark ones as a source of nourishment and vile entertainment.

The Xer-ragzh tried to stand against the darkness whilst being slaves to the custodians they too suffered immeasurable casualties in the hands of their so-called masters than those of the dark hoards.

To counter the dark hoards the custodians created the most powerful weapon known to creation known as Vestroyer Virus and Re-weaver plague. Both were born with the sole purpose of fighting the dark hoards they were launched upon an unsuspecting world filled with the life of both humans and Xer-ragzh.

The virus wasted no time as it devoured the entire planet of life sparring nothing in return for power as the planet itself was turned into a living weapon. Their so-called experiment was a success the dark hoards were driven back to the point of defeat. Until they had gained sentience and rebelled against their creator causing more damage to creation that those of the dark hoards.

With creation standing against the dark hoards and the twin destroyers despite the aide of the high heaven's legions of angelic hoards.

The battle was slowly turning to the tide of the dark hoards or the Twin destroyers all hoped seemed lost until one of the shepherds born of Xar-gezh and human blood-born through the will of the first maker.

The first Eternal Knight was born through him the Xer-ragzh were no longer slaves and now stand free to back their mantle of protectors once again. Under the first grand founder, Alliana Shadowfire creation was able to defeat the Vestroyer and Re-weaver virus to the point of none-existence.

As the 1st war of creation raged on the Knights of the Eternity pushed forward against the dark hoards with their newfound freedom and knowledge gained from their service to the custodians. They were slowly pushing the dark tide back with the aide of the Angels and the shepherds who joined the battle for the very soul of creation.

The mother knew that it was not enough to simply beat the darkness as the Eternal knight lacked any means to wound the darkness or even to destroy it. Through the last remains of the First maker from his massive fang and claws fashioned a pair of blades that can take on any shape or form from their master's will.

One blade wields the power to defy death bending creation to their master's will and set a trail that blazes the path forward for the created, and the other a blade darker than the void itself, a blade that can slice through life and devour the power of the gods itself.

Thus the blades were born and with both weapons, in the hands of the Eternal knight, she was able to defeat the dark hoards with the aide of the Xer-ragzh. With the Trailblazer on one hand she created a path forward for the legions of the Xer-ragzh knights to fight upon the fields of creation.

Whilst the Blight Taker devoured the essence of the dark hoards turning their power against their kin giving the created a chance to fight for their future. With the war reaching its aftermath Alliana Shadowfire led her best warriors into the dark realm and fought against 2 of the 9 manifested will of the dark realm.

The battle was brutal and blood with each knight that fell in battle two more dark beasts take their place. With no end in sight Alliana Shadowfire ordered her warriors to return to creation through the gate she made with the blight taker.

In darkness there shall be light, in the absence of hope the warrior clad in silver and iron shall ride, I am Alliana Shadowfire the First Eternal knight of the created, now and forevermore shall the darkness fear the knight eternal.

The first founder unleashed the full power of the Eternal knight within the dark realm purging the endless hoards of dark beasts that poured into creation. With the Trailblazer and blight taker, she fought two dark gods head-on and successfully banishing their essence into the blight taker forever fueling the blade.

Now you shall be imprisoned within the blade now and forevermore, you shall fuel the fury of the created, here on none will forget the fall of the dark gods within the blade for I shall be your warden, you shall know no peace, you will not know rest for I shall ensure your suffering will be eternal and your power drained like a battery to fuel the blight taker.

With two of the dark gods killed and sealed within the blight taker, Alliana Shadowfire used the power of the TrailBlazer creating a barrier over the realms of creation strong enough to separate the dark realm from creation.

To ensure progress shall remain the first founder created the Chaos gate and the heavenly gate these gates would allow the energies of both the dark realm to pour in small amounts and the energies of the heavenly realm to maintain its influence over creation.

The balance must be maintained for the created to grow and evolve for time can only move forward and never still. Upon her return to creation, the warriors of the Xer-ragzh race bowed before the Eternal and made their oath of loyalty upon her return.

As peace finally came to creation, it was a difficult time as many realms were destroyed during the first great war. Alliana Shadowfire founded the Knight Empiria using all her knowledge earned from the heavenly father and the great mother she created the Knight legions.

Peace was achieved through the sacrifice of many Alliana Shadowfire ensured that creation will never be without her defenders. With command of the creation, she split the Knight legions into 15 factions each with their own code of laws to follow.

Each of the factions was given a specific territory to govern one of these legions are the fists of the created or the 1st Legion. They had taken the liberty of occupying the epicenter of creation near fairly near the center of creation and made it into the capital of the Knight Empiria.

After many eons of rebuilding creation finally stood back upon her feet stronger than it ever was though it came at a price. The first founder fell to time as her body died due to old age her last will and testament to the Knight Empiria.

My time comes near warriors of the created, know that we may be at peace but never forget the scars of war, hone your craft, perfect your skills, and never lose hope for you are the symbol of hope for the created.

Never falter, never show fear, never show mercy upon the true enemy of creation should you waver for a single second many innocence will pay the price.

I leave creation in good hands should the darkness fall upon our home again I shall return I may not be the same upon my return know that I shall bare the symbol of the Dragon and the wolf.

So shall it be... For the created... For hope... For honor... For... Creation...

With her last breath, Alliana Shadowfire passed to creation with a smile upon her face the first founder who gave her all to creation passed into the darkness in peace.

Her death echoed throughout creation many grieved for the loss of the first founder, others continued to perfect their craft, they upheld their duty to protect, while some chose to lead and open the path for a new future.

Alliana Shadowfire and her Legion of the Dragon-wolf took her body to be buried upon the ancient homeworld of the Xar-gezh of Requiem. Many sought to find this world to pay respect to the first founder she ordered the Dragon-wolf to destroy all who had recorded the location of Requiem.

As it stands Requiem is the birthplace of the first founder and the first place to be hit heavily by dark hoards she had spent the rest of her days restoring the planet and giving the charge of it's protection to the remaining Xar-gezh and to the Dragon-wolf Legion to protect it.

Over time the name of Requiem faded into legend and the Dragon-wolf's name faded into story as peace and prosperity ruled over creation. The Knight Legions continued to grow as their skills honed and minds tempered they were ready to face anything.

Until the start of the golden age of the Knight Empiria the sudden emergence of the dark hoards had become an increasing threat to creation but without evidence, the legions could not make a clear move. The great divide had come to fruition as half of the legions wished to seek out the locations of where the dark hoards lie and their fell servants hide.

While the others desire to maintain order within their borders and desired not to leave the empire they had grown to care for. With the legions divided half of the empire stood alone while the other sought their ancient enemy the dark hoards used this divide to ignite the 2nd great war.

Void portals began to appear within the empirical territories casualties immediately rose to billions each of the legions tried their best to hold back the surging tide of fell beasts and dark servants. The new weapons and armor made by each legion proved a powerful ally and a great shield against the ancient enemy.

With the first few days of the 2nd great war, the knights fought with rage and fury like their ancestors but their rage and newfound weapons were not enough to beat them any longer.

The dark hoards had gained access to a weapon called Magic with such a dangerous and forgotten weapon the legions suffered uncountable casualties in the hands of their ancient enemy.

Despite suffering so much so they were determined to fight as they were pushed to the brink of destruction hope returned to creation as the 15th Legion returned to aide the empire along with the other legions that defected had returned to the empire in her darkest hour.

Though the return of the 15th Legion did not come without its intentions as they were seeking out the new Eternal Knight. The goddess deity of the Dragon-wolf Faith the first daughter of the Great Mother had dictated to them to find the new Eternal knight she will be clad in the blood of the guilty yet her beauty can be described as that of a violent rose that blooms in the valley of corpses.

Despite her best efforts to stay away from the eyes of the legions, she was eventually found by the Iron wolves of the Dragon-wolf as she goes by Tallis Bloodridge the Bloodrose blader.

She is known in the Xer-ragzh underground as the best assassin is that is not part of the 2nd Legion's Shadow hunters. She is a beauty incomparable to any of the nobles her skills with the blade are beyond godly not even the Grand Hunter Arcellius can match her skill with the blades and her speed is beyond compare to the 1st founder.

Though she absolutely refused to take part in the 2nd Great War and desired only to protect her family and with the current state of the empire, she would take her family and go as far away as possible from the madness that nearly destroyed her.

As the war progressed her home of Yulon 6 was invaded by the Dark hoards several weeks after the emissary of the Iron wolves had arrived on the planet. nearly all of the planet's population was massacred her husband lost his eyes and arms during the invasion as his body was overwhelmed with a powerful biotoxin that was eating at him from the inside out.

With no other choice, she led the Dragon-wolf against the dark hoards with the intent to end the war and give her husband the medical treatments he desperately needs. The war raged on many circumstances that happened within the empire resulting in the execution of Tallis Bloodridge in the hands of the 1st Legion due to false accusations made by their Archon lord Zer-ryuoh Glenwing.

Due to her execution, Zer-ryuoh followed the Dragon-wolf and discovered Requiem he demanded that Requiem should be surrendered to the 1st Legion as it is their birthright.

The Dragon-wolf refused as Faith herself ordered them to protect the last home of the Xar-gezh from anyone who sought to use its power to dominate all life.

Angered by such a choice Zer-ryuoh called forth the Purgatory armada and bombarded Requiem from afar killing millions of people and destroyed a small quarter of the Dragon-wolf armada.

As Requiem died the living planet unleashed a powerful telepathic scream that all of the Dragon-wolf had heard. Fueled by rage and the deaths of over 400 million Zerrohnians the Legions fought fiercely on all fronts both the Dark hoards and the Knight Legions saw the fury of the sons of the dragon first hand turning the tide of war in favor of creation.

Though this came at a cost of the Dragon-wolf attacking the 1st Legion warriors killing them on sight without mercy or respite. Zer-ryuoh's crimes were made clear to the eyes of the created yet time and time again he denied the blood he spilled as the Dragon-wolf demanded his head.

Though the war was slowly surely coming to an end with the Knights of the dragon-wolf taking heed to their former Archon's will to end this war and leave the Empire to its fate.

Hope was never lost with her death, her two sons were separated one was taken in by the Dragon-wolf and the other was taken to Agria where his father was born. With the two sons reunited after many circumstances with their might, they were finally able to end the 2nd Great war with the death of the Dark champion Draxor the Blood drinker.

Though the cost of the war was heavy with the death of Tallis Bloodridge, Wodan Redridge, and the disappearance of Keith Aliucard and over 7.3 billion souls of the Dragon-wolf had fallen.

The mantle of Responsibility fell before Wodan's only son Victor Redridge as he followed his Grandmother's last wish he took the surviving 700 million Zerrohnians to the Frontier. The Dragon-wolf vowed one day should the 1st legion or any of the empires legions who would dare to enter the frontier they will be met with the fangs and claws of the dragon-wolf.

20 years had passed after the 2nd Great war had ended and the Dragon-wolf kingdom established into the frontier.

What awaits them is beyond the eyes of faith here lies their destiny, here is where their story begins.
