The Blades of Destiny

In days of yore, a potent kingdom held dominion over lands stretching from the depths of tempestuous seas to the summit of snow-capped peaks. Beneath their iron rule, men of clans, magical beings, and earth's formidable beasts coexisted. The Crystal Kingdom brandished blades, forged with ancient magic, potent crystals, and honed steel. Each blade bore the stain of fallen foes, for the kingdom's enemies fell before their might. The Enchanted blades possessed such power that their knights were deemed unstoppable. A knight blessed with such a blade could smite a thousand men.

For hundreds of years, the Crystal Kingdom enjoyed relative peace under the reign of King Xendar, who wielded the realm's mightiest blade. Ally nations bowed in reverence, while enemies trembled at the thought of facing their wrath. Little did they know, darkness crept into the land when King Xendar was betrayed by his own trusted advisor, Mortis. In his slumber during a hunting expedition in the dark forest of Lythe, King Xendar was stabbed.

Mortis then set in motion his plan to rise to power within a year of King Xendar's demise. He seized the throne and now wielded the most powerful enchanted blade. Over the ensuing decades, the newly crowned King Mortis waged war upon any nation, ally or foe, that dared stand in his path. After years of unjust conflict, the Crystal Kingdom's hearts turned corrupt, be they the royal families or the knights bearing the enchanted blades.

A mighty wizard named Azatair, once a trusted comrade to the fallen King Xendar, cast a potent alchemy spell in an attempt to restore balance to the realm. The purpose of this spell was to bind the ten thousand swords that once belonged to the Crystal Kingdom and scatter them into the unknown realms. With the blades beyond their reach and their powers stripped away, the kingdom fell to ruin as other nations saw their opportunity to bring destruction.

Centuries passed, and many knights, beasts, and magical beings embarked on quests to seek out the ten thousand enchanted blades. Those who succeed in retrieving them shall be blessed with unparalleled power and extraordinary strength to wield according to their will and vision.
