Mygathyn, God of War and Death. One of the Gods of the Last Age. The Forsaken One.
Mygathyn revelled in his realms, using his power to start wars and watched the death and destruction that ensued. Until the day he went too far. He struck out against his fellow gods. For one hundred years, man battled man and the gods battled Mygathyn. The war raged and despair filled even the hearts of the stoutest warriors. When the war threatened threatened the fabric of existence, the remaining Gods called upon an ancient power. They brought forth a Nivex, a warrior and champion who could wield the power of the Gods. Nivex held the power to banish Mygathyn to the Realm of Torment.
It wasn't long before Nivex battled his way through Mygathyn's armies and a defeated the once Mighty Mygathyn. Nivex sealed Mygathyn in the Realm of Torment with a Mithril key. However, it was at a great price. Nivex suffered a mortal wound and died delivering the key back to the Gods he served.
The key, the Gods decided, was to dangerous to be left to just one person to protect. So, according to history, a mighty blow from the Hunter Goddess, Vanara's mace shattered the Key into a hundred pieces. To the doorway of the Realm of Torment, the Gods called 50 of their strongest warriors, who were each given 2 pieces of the key (which the gods phased into the essences of the warrior's souls) to guard and and the "Kiss of the Gods" - a blessing that allowed the warriors to control the elements of nature and to heal their wounded. And so it was on the final day of the Last Age, the Gods disappeared.
Thousands of years later, the few decendants of the Chosen still live with their gift and the keys long forgotten. The tales of the Hundred Key remains a story for children, a fairy tale. But now, Mygathyn has gained a champion of his own. A man who he gifted with powers over the dead. Zeben, Champion of the Forsaken, is hunting The Chosen in search of the pieces of the Key. Now a small group must band together to find the pieces of the Hundred Key to stop Mygathyn from destroying their world forever.
