"The pride of our ancestors is the burdon we must carry, but there is a path to redemption, a path that lies in the dreams of a fallen god."
     - Maymun

Hidden deep under the city along the shores of a forgotten lake, the immortal Ashalan delve into magics long abandoned, hoping to find four artifacts lost on the Day of Wrath.  Armed with crysteel swords, swathed in midnight's darkness, they fear the ever watchful eye of the Lady who destroyed their civilization with fire and fury.  With the sleeping Moon as their only ally, the Ashalan have no enemies - only secrets.  Secrets so terrible they endanger every soul in the City of Peace.

[Ebonite]

"We fight to recover yesterday's lost innocence."

Hundreds of years ago, the prideful Ebonites unleashed a dark force into the world, and they have sworn to atone by hunting down and eradicating evil in all its myriad shapes and forms. Now, their sacred mission has brought them, unwitting, to the forefront of a race for the greastest secret the world has ever known. Ebonites share a bond of brotherhood seared into their souls during ritual rebirth, but one of them carries a link to the past that none suspect.

"Immortality is a gift few have the courage to ask for."
     - Enala

Hidden deep within the worst nightmares of the peaceful inhabitants of the City of One Thousand Stories, black hearts lurk. Their practices defy morality; their purpose defies comprehension. They smother the hopes and dreams of everyone they touch, bartering the lives of all mortal men for long-forgotten secrets none should ever learn. They are the abyss itself.

     - Hekau

For over a century, the undying Caliph has ruled the City of a Thousand Stories.  Sorcerers are declared heretics and enemies of the state, while the Caliph's own heartless mages - the Khadi - patrol the city streets, hunting all who would oppose her will.  But in the dark corners of the Jewel of the Desert, a secret society of sorcerers conspires to overthrow the Caliph and her minions.  Led by a renegade Senpet priest, they study the forbidden arts in hopes of finding a way to bind the Khadi and bring down the Caliph.

     - Hensatti

Their civilization is as old as the world itself, but now the flame in the Great Eye has faded as the desert winds carve away at their mighty monuments and pyramids.  In order to circumvent an ancient prophecy, the Pharaoh has turned to the Jewel of the Desert to make certain her mighty civilization does not fall victim to the unforgiving desert winds and the wrath of Lady Sun.
