🩸 The Story of DarkEden (The Rise of Darkness)
🌒 A Night That Changed Everything
The peaceful lives of the inhabitants of the mountain region of Helea, known as Eslanian, were forever changed when, just days after Christmas, three strangers arrived as the sun was setting.
Their names were Vlad Tepes, Elizabeth Bathory and Gilles de Rais, three powerful Vampire Masters, whose mere presence turned dusk into nightmare. Within minutes, the towns of Eslanian were drowned in screams, blood and silence. Every man, woman and child was either slaughtered or turned into a creature of the night.
This event became known as “Bloody Monday”, the day when the soil of Eslanian drank human blood for the first time.
🕯️ The Secret Behind the Massacre
But the massacre was only a distraction, hiding a far darker purpose.
The three Masters sought something buried deep within the mountains, the power of Lilith, the Mother of all Vampires, sealed for centuries inside Adam’s Sanctuary.
By joining forces, Bathory, Tepes and de Rais broke the ancient seal, opening the gates of the Sanctuary. Yet, the power they unleashed was beyond imagination.
A wave of chaotic energy burst forth, scattering across the skies of Helea.
This energy formed a barrier that spread across the land, known as the Chaos Templum, a cursed veil that blocked the deadly ultraviolet rays of the sun.
☀️ Thanks to the Chaos Templum, vampires were finally free to walk under daylight.
Helea became a new paradise for the undead, a Dark Eden where they could rule without fear.
⚔️ Humanity Strikes Back
The human world soon learned of the horror spreading through Eslanian.
Governments around the globe isolated the region, declaring it a forbidden zone. Yet, whispers of the undead empire grew louder.
When investigation teams were sent, none returned… except for one man.
His testimony confirmed the unthinkable: vampires were real.
In secret, the nations formed a coalition, the E.V.E. Organization (Experts in Vampire Elimination).
Under the leadership of the sole survivor, they trained a new order of soldiers known as the Slayers, warriors equipped with advanced technology, faith and vengeance.
💀 The Fall of Cities and the Rise of Monsters
As the Slayers entered Helea, they found not only vampires… but something far worse.
The chaotic energy of the Chaos Templum had corrupted the very essence of life, twisting nature itself.
From the ruins of once-prosperous towns, monsters began to emerge, grotesque creations born from the clash of divine light and cursed blood.
These abominations now roam the lands, claiming the deserted cities as their own.
Their presence marks every shadow, every echo of the world that once was.

🩸 The War of the Masters
When the dust settled, the three Vampire Masters realized that releasing Lilith’s seal wasn’t enough.
The divine power they sought had fragmented into 13 Blood Bibles, each containing a piece of Lilith’s soul.
Their alliance crumbled instantly.
Greed and pride consumed them as each vowed to claim the fragments alone.

Civil war erupted in the shadows, while humanity advanced from the light.
At last, Bathory and Tepes clashed in a night of fire and blood.
The battle left both wounded and their armies shattered. Though Tepes emerged victorious, he failed to destroy his rival. Since then, both have remained hidden, recovering their strength while their followers wage endless wars across Helea.
🌌 The Birth of the Ousters
While vampires and Slayers tore the land apart, something ancient stirred beneath the frozen valleys.
The Ousters, an ancient race of warriors born from the harmony of light and nature, awoke from centuries of slumber.
They watched in horror as the Chaos Templum poisoned the skies and rivers, transforming their sacred homeland into a battlefield.
To restore balance, the Ousters rose again, wielding the elemental power of nature itself.
Neither ally nor enemy to mankind, they declared war on both factions, vowing to purge all corruption, vampire or human, from Helea.
