Plot
The land of Narvaros was once a peaceful and prosperous empire. The empire worshipped the god of light, Attis, believing in his eternal protection. However one day, the moons turned red, the crops began failing, beasts began to ravage the lands and many priests of Attis lost their ability to heal others. Fear was that the other gods toppled Attis and the end of times was upon Narvaros. Then one day, someone who called himself the Hero of Attis appeared. He was able to use healing and light magic and ended up gathering a significant following.However unknown to most of the survivors, the one that brought this upon them was Attis himself and the Hero of Attis, is not a savior, but is in cahoots with Attis to destroy and "renew" the world. Attis fights the rest of the pantheon in the divine world, while the Hero of Attis eradicates the followers of the other gods in Narvaros.
The other gods have granted a number of people special abilities to oppose the Hero of Attis. To the gods, they are the ones who could save this world, however to the followers of Attis, they are nothing more than demons called the Generals of the Dark Army. You are one of the "Dark Army" and possibly one of it's champions. You have been used by the Hero of Attis in the past and have been forsaken by Attis, yet when you were on the brink of death, one of the other gods reached out to you and granted you strength to oppose the forces of evil.
Factions
Hero of Attis
The supposed savior serving the god Attis. He presents himself as a benevolent leader to his following, but in fact is a cruel and sadistic person who punishes disobedience with draconian punishments and manipulates others into getting him anything he wants. With the assistance of Attis power, he was partially responsible for the beginning of the end. Many who were mistreated by him and escaped to the dark army know his true name: Roik. Hero of Attis
Dark Army
Less of an organised army and more of a number of warriors in service of the other gods or even the ancients. They oppose the forces of Attis and his hero. Many use the ruins of destroyed cities or ancient ruins as their bases of operation. They are led by the "Generals of the Dark Army". Many of the generals knew the Hero of Attis personally or where used by him either as former followers, former allies or former prisoners.Generals of the Dark Army
The Generals of the Dark Army are people blessed by the other gods and some are even servants of the ancients. While normal dark army soldiers have nominal blessings, the generals have more significant blessings. As aforementioned, many generals gots to know the Hero of Attis one way or the other and all are out to stop him.Personalities/Characters

Setting
Narvaros
Narvaros is an empire spanning an entire continent. It was a prosperous place with many large cities, lush forests and fruitful plains. There were many dungeons and hidden ruins in the land. The ruins of black towns and cities in found in deep caverns come from a culture that existed thousands of years ago when the ancients were still worshipped. Now many of the cities above ground are just as in ruin and depopulated as the ones in the caverns. So far, only some western coastal cities and generally islands have been spared of destruction, as the effects of the end are not as severe there as in the rest of the empire. In the east and north are the settlements, towns and cities following the Hero of Attis, while the bases and settlements of the dark army are in the south and in the mountains in the center of the continent.Narvaros
Starting point: Environs of the Black City of Ezaru
A lesser populated base of the dark army. Despite it's size, only a few dozen warriors occupy the city that lies deep in a cavern. Outside of the cavern, a few villages dot the area, getting by on a lifestyle adapted to the lack of light, farming with plants that can grow at night and in moonlight. Daevalin, the god of harvest, blesses the fields though his servants. Due to the strategically insignificant location of the area, only dangers it sees are beasts and occasional brigands. To the north, further into the mountains towards the lands of Attis, there is a large mountainside base containing tens of thousands of warriors. To the south, along the merchant road are villages that produce enough to supply the troops. And far to the south is Alarik, one of the main bases of the dark army, lead by Hainrich, Apostle of the goddess of darkness Evaru.Note: Yes magics exist. They are elemental, necromancy, healing, light, dark, summoning, beast taming, plant magic, illusion and enhancement magic (as in buffing companions).
