Forsaken War

The Forsaken War was a time period where the world was engulfed in savage combat and destruction caused by beasts with unimaginable power. These beasts faught amongst all other life, including themselves. At one point in time came the first humans to ever learn magic. These mages descovered that these Sacred Beasts were fighting for dominance over the planet. The mages created a sealing spell called "Overdrive" which sealed the beast into the farthest edges of the planet, completley separated from one another. Years past, and the mages became interested in the power of those beasts. They eventually started having small conversations over, who they thought would have came out on top. What started as a simple debate turned out to be an argument that lead to the break up of their friend ships, apparently, they had all put their "money" on different beast. The mages fled to the area of whatever beast they put their faith in and made respective shrines. When they reached their shrines, the spirits of the sacred beasts sealed at the shrines were awakened. The beasts made them an offer they could not refuse. In exchange for the beasts magic, the mage would allow thebeasts mind to slumber within them. However, there was a very small price to pay for this contract, the prices are based on their personalities. They each quickly took up the offer with the intent to eliminate the other mages. They all met up at what is now known as the "Pit of Despaire". The mages all lost their lives, and the minds of the beasts were sent back to their shrines, where they wait for others to make the same contracts. Some of the beasts gave up the ideals of taking over the Earth and became spirits used by mages. However, those that did not give up, are still at their shrines, awaiting for their destined vessel.
