The struggle for good and ill has been waged since time began. And upon Aabahran's soil, it still wages on. But there has been no war so epic and grand in scale as the war between the Knight of the Crown and Nexus.

Hundreds of years ago, when the world was still young, there spawned a legion of undead fighting alongside demonkind. Their numbers, while small had a tremendous impact upon the world and it's residents. In response to this unholy threat, the city-states of Val Miran, Rheydin, and Miruvhor created a vast army to battle the legion, and send them back from whence they came. And for many decades the cities fought together, and the end of the Legion seemed unavoidable.

However, the ruler of the Miruvhorian Throne, soon fell in league with the armies of death, and succumbed to their wishes, granting them warriors to secretly battle the cities to the west. They watched from the shadows as the legion spared their city, and moved on.

The City of Rheydin, more intent on money and power, withdrew their troops and bolstered their own defenses, hoping to fight off the infernal army if they dared attack their gates. They watched from their counting rooms as the legion spared their city, and moved on.

Though many of their number had fallen, the remaining forces of evil were far from defeated. They hid, reorganized, and became what is now known as Nexus. Bent on the eradication of Light, and the enslavement of Aabahran, they have made unholy pacts with the denizens of the underworld and the planes of Chaos to better strike down their ancient enemies, The Knights of the Crown.

The Reavers

With the first defeat by the Knights of the Crown, humiliation washed over the front ranks of the unliving, demonic horde. In their retreat, the front rank fighters of the battle swore never to be defeated again. With the aid of the faction of unholy seers, Pandemonium, they summoned and bound infernal servants to their cause. From the seeping pits of the Nexus came forth demons like those the world has never seen, and from these masses formed a core of soldiers that along with the legions of darkness that joined them were to be known as Reavers upon the world. The Reavers has been said to wield the very energy of the Nexus as blades in their conquest of the lands.

The Pandemonium

Shortly after the first battle was lost against the newly formed Knights of the Crown, the forces of death drew into seclusion and began their dealings with the divine forces of evil. Though the mass of the troops were warriors, dealing death by blade and fist, there remained a small contingent of unholy clerics and magi. Reasonably more intelligent and cunning, these spell-users withdrew from the front ranks, and parlied with the otherworldly representatives of evil. Seeing more power in foresight, and manipulation, the faction now called Pandemonium sat in the rear lines, destroying hope and their enemies will through deal-making and propaganda. Through intense study of demon-summoning and the like, they augment the warriors of Nexus with infernal magic, and summoned fiends to do their bidding.
