NEXUS

NEXUS
 
The struggle for good and ill has been waged since time began.  And upon
Aabahran's soil, it still wages on.  But there has been no war so epic
and grand in scale as the war between the Knight of the Crown and Nexus. 
 
Hundreds of years ago, when the world was still young, there spawned a
legion of undead fighting alongside demonkind.  Their numbers, while small
had a tremendous impact upon the world and its residents.  In response to
this unholy threat, the city-states of Val Miran, Maelbrim, and Miruvhor
created a vast army to battle the legion, and send them back from whence
they came.  And for many decades the cities fought together, and the end of
the Legion seemed unavoidable.
 
However, the ruler of the Miruvhorian Throne, soon fell in league with
the armies of death, and succumbed to their wishes, granting them warriors
to secretly battle the cities to the west.  They watched from the shadows as
the legion spared their city, and moved on.
 
The City of Maelbrim, more intent on money and power, withdrew their troops
and bolstered their own defenses, hoping to fight off the infernal army if
they dared attack their gates.  They watched from their counting rooms as
the legion spared their city, and moved on.
 
Though many of their number had fallen, the remaining forces of evil were
far from defeated.  They hid, reorganized, and became what is now known as
Nexus.  Bent on the eradication of Light, and the enslavement of Aabahran, they
have made unholy pacts with the denizens of the underworld and the planes of
Chaos to better strike down their ancient enemies, The Knights of the Crown.
