THE WORLD OF ALIISEN
In another place, at another time, the High One sought to create something meaningful. He spoke in the Ancient Language and wove new Magic to create the Seven Servants:
Rana of Fire and Energy; Dobo of Air and Wind; Eidi of Earth and Rock; Lere of Water and Body; Orin of Spirit and Light; Baka of Death and Poison; and Guru of Destiny and Time.
The High One gave control of a single element to each of the Seven Servants, who then created the entire World of Aliisen.

Those who inhabited the World of Aliisen lived in constant struggle between Good and Evil. All manner of beasts and monsters wandered about, thinking of nothing but to attack the Good People. But the Good People had the Seven Servants to keep them safe from harm.
One fateful day, Baka and Orin argued over the newest addition to the World - Orcets. Baka believed them to be superior to all current life in Aliisen, but Orin thought them useless. They fought for an indefinite time over the species, with Baka finally overthrowing Orin and multiplied the species’ numbers by thousands before disappearing into the Depths of the World.
With the World now overrun with the pest-like beasts, the Good People began to lose their battles and die, becoming slaves to Baka. During the Last Fight, with the Good People dwindling, Orin spoke up to the High One for help. The Orcets were vanquished to the Depths of the World, not to be heard from for ages, in exchange for the Seven Servants’ lives. In one last act, each of the Seven Servants divided their power into special Gemstones scattered across Aliisen and then passed on.

In this Age, the Orcets - short, grey-skinned, pig-faced humanoids - run rampant all over the world. Over the years, the Aliisarians have fought back the tide of Orcets and forced them back into the Depths. Year after year, massive armies rise from the Depths and assault the many Cities of Aliisen and year after year they are fought back to where they came from.
However, in recent years, the Orcets have become stronger. Each battle becomes harder and more men are lost.
It is during this time that the Adventurers’ Guild is created. Many pass through the Guild on their way down to the Depths and many never return from their quest. The World is slowly being overrun and the Aliisarians need a hero.
