Veni Vidi Vici
Thousands of years ago the first monster came into existence through black magic performed by a necromancer. Alongside this monster came the Overlord. Dark and angry, the Overlord slew the necromancer and took his soul for his own. Using the necromancers soul the Overlord spawned another monster to do his bidding, now two existed. Two monsters could cut through a village as if they were carving a cake, and they did. The continent of Sigmar was ravaged and razed until half was in turmoil and the other was burning. At this time millions of monsters roamed Sigmar, their size and prowess depending on the strength of their souls, a frail old woman may become a roaming eye while a strong warrior would become a horned wyvern.
Then came forth the first summoner known as Tabitha and at her side was a hydra named Korder, Olk, and Meryt. Together they pushed back the Overlord's army and eventually were joined by more summoners, of lesser caliber. The final battle was horrific and bloody as armies clashed against armies and Tabitha's hydra clashed with the Overlord's basilisk. When the battle finally ended Tabitha and the Overlord both lay dead at the feet of their dying creations. A time of peace followed this battle, but it was soon found that when a monster of any strength survived, the Overlord would return sooner or later.
The peace lasted thirteen years, but the Overlord returned and ravaged Sigmar once more, and another army of warriors and summoners marched on his dreaded castle. Time and time again the Overlord was killed, time and time again he returned enraged and hungry. Over the many millennia summoners have perfected their once crude art and warriors have learned the ways of monsters, but the Overlord grows more fearsome every time he is resurrected.Sigmar has been rendered an utter wasteland in the east, in the west three large territories have been split between three factions. The Sigmarian Knights, The Rolum, and The Order. Each strong in their own ways and each prepared to march on the Overlord.
The largest and farthest to the east is the Sigmarian Knights, a faction ruled by a iron hard warrior culture. Men are bred to be strong enough to wield a long sword while women are bred to be quick with a spear or keen with a bow. In this culture men and women fight side by side and all warriors are seen as heroes able to rival the strongest monsters. While summoners of the Sigmarian Knights are very rare they are well known for fighting side by side with their creations.
The second furthest to the east and second largest is the Rolum. The Rolum are well known for their mechanical weapons, able to bring down large monsters from afar with little to no effort. In close combat a Rolum will be little more than useless, unless armed with a powder rifle. The Rolum are the richest of the factions and often use their riches to create more and better mechanical weapons. Summoners of The Rolum are quite uncommon but are more abundant, by far, than Sigmarian Knights.
The furthest west and smallest faction is the Order. While the Order does not have great warriors or large machines they do have the most and strongest summoners. After all, the capital of the Order was the hometown of Tabitha the Peace Bringer. The Order is a very religious faction, often using prayer and magic to make their creations stronger. They believe that it is their divine duty to fight against the Overlord, all summoners take an oath binding them to the service of Sigmar, pledging their life to fighting the Overlord's armies.
The Sigmarian Knights have their grand keeps and castles, the Rolum have their huge mechanical cities, and the Order have their magnificent temples. Together these factions fight the oncoming hordes. In the past few years more monsters have pressed against the borders of the Sigmarian Knights. Elders believe that the Overlord has returned, but this is unlike any strategy he has ever mounted before. Usually the Overlord would send huge armies forth to slaughter anything in sight.
The beginning of the end is here, some say. Grand Maesters of the Order have sworn that they have seen a great darkness while praying, a great darkness closing in on their families. The thousands of islands surrounding Sigmar are slowly losing contact with the mainland, one by one. The Sigmarian Knights are sharpening their blades, Rolum are loading their canons, and the Order is gathering their ancient scrolls. A council has been called in the capital of the Sigmarian Knights. The strongest summoners from every faction have been requested, the time to march is now. None of them are prepared for the final war, the final genocide of the human race.
