The King of Eldergaarde decided to call all adventurers throughout the land to his kingdom to answer the quest of a lifetime.  He promised great rewards and much fame for the individual or group that was the first to bring him the assembled sword. The promise of fame and fortune drew many, and thousands set out on the quest of the great ancient sword.  These adventurers became known as "The Seekers of the Sword".During these last months of King Equitas' rule, his health began to fail.  The healers could not discover the true meaning of his illness, nor could they do anything for his pain.  Equitas was going to die before the sword was assembled and put together.  It was then that Optimen gave his priests a divine epiphany.  There was a young man by the name of Arthur Falhurst that was one of Avesin's** most gifted healers.  Located in the city of Eldergaarde, he was only a boy of 19 winters and he had far surpassed the abilities of the eldest healers in the city.A man hunt began for this young man and within a few days, the boy was brought to the King to keep him alive until the holiest of quests could be completed.  Arthur worked with the King day and night, praying to Avesin to give him the strength to carry on every day, and to overcome this challenge that was laid before him.  Finally, the day arrived that he would see his labors pay off.  The sword had been assembled.Nearly a year went by before the sword was finally brought to the King of Eldergaarde and it was done so by a truly odd group of adventurers.  The crown prince of Ellindey***, Arknath D'Lur, the fraternal dwarven twins Burgabar and Beranka Dullhammer, and the mysterious celestial-born Kaelraunt.  It was within Equitas' final days that he received the sword and used it's power to gain that which any mortal craves: divinity and the powers of a god.Upon attaining his divinity, Equitas received a great amount of power and was handed the responsibility of being a just and honest god.  This was no stretch for the mortal-turned-deity as he was known throughout Ersadia^ as one of the most fair and truthful leaders that ever ruled a people.  For nearly a hundred years, the new god of Justice reigned true and the people of Eldergaarde, his mortal home, prospered immensely under his love and guidance.*Council of 5: Five deities that rule the pantheon of Ersadia.  They only have one aspect of an alignment to rule over and their job is to keep things in balance.  The deities are as follows: Antithos (Evil), Inconditus (Chaos), Lexidon (Law), Medicree (Neutrality), Optimen (Good).**Avesin is the god of Healing in Ersadia.  He is a lesser deity.***Ellindey is the elven capitol of the twilight elf nation. This is a subrace of elves that live for the moments between night and day (those moments being Dusk and Dawn).^Ersadia is the name for the landmass that this world is based on.  Maps and more information will be available soon.</blockquote>
