[ WP ] A fantasy world filled with races such as elves , dwarves , goblins , orcs etc . who all have their patron gods . Then , out of nowhere , come the humans , people of no deities . Helpless against gods , humans team up with another group of outcasts , the demons .

When mankind came into this world 
 
 The Old Kingdoms were hurdled 
 
 Into the fires that burn empires to ash 
 
 And the worlds of Elves, Fey, and Dwarves crashed 
 
 
 When Man first came to this earth 
 
 He knew he was weak from the day of his birth 
 
 He possessed no mythical wisdom, magic skill, or even a god to name 
 
 For he had his own, diminutive mortality to blame 
 
 What god would love such a short lived race? 
 
 Young and frail, mankind would disappear without a trace 
 
 Into the sands of oblivion they ’ d fall 
 
 So mankind began to call 
 
 Into the void, the darkness within 
 
 Into the place of greed and sin 
 
 He called for power to reign supreme 
 
 No matter how evil, or chaotic it seemed 
 
 The Void answered man ’ s pleading voice 
 
 And the Darkness gave man a choice 
 
 Topple the rest of the mortals with it ’ s might 
 
 And surrender it ’ s souls from the Light 
 
 The Dwarven god was first to fall 
 
 Barahem he was called 
 
 His people carved the mountains themselves 
 
 And upon their heads it fell 
 
 
 No gold nor jewels nor mighty swords 
 
 Could defend them against the hordes 
 
 Of the Sons of Adam 
 
 And their allies of the damned 
 
 Fire and darkness filled their tunnels 
 
 As thousand year old kingdoms began to crumble 
 
 Until only bones remained in that kingdom and all was quiet 
 
 Only silence remained inside it 
 
 The Elves came next, for they were the envy of men 
 
 But not even their wisdom, magic, or protected glens 
 
 Could withhold men ’ s greed and hate 
 
 A hunger that only blood could satiate 
 
 Their gods were the Oldest Trees of the glade 
 
 Fashioned before all other life was made 
 
 Their magic protected the Elves and brought life all around 
 
 Their laughter was the rusting of the leaves and the forest sounds 
 
 Their trees burned, their gods wept 
 
 The trees became dust, and a terrible wind swept 
 
 From the demons wings until the earth was bare and pale 
 
 The earth herself became weak and frail 
 
 Only the Fey remained, for they were the spirits of all 
 
 And mankind swore they would fall 
 
 He sought their worshipers and burned them on stakes 
 
 Even now at that memory, the Earth trembles and shakes 
 
 The purely innocent fairies, gnomes, wisps and sprites 
 
 The witches, druids, and those blessed with the future sight 
 
 Screamed to the spirits to aid them in their plight 
 
 And the only response was the laughter of the Night 
 
 The Fey needed men to believe 
 
 And they could only weep and grieve 
 
 As they were forgotten, and passed into myth 
 
 Their bodies melded to what remained of nature and grew cold and stiff 
 
 So terrible a slaughter, all the fey lay dead 
 
 Mankind now had the blood of the Earth on his head 
 
 Only he and the Demon remained 
 
 Mankind indebted with his soul forever stained 
 
 He took man ’ s soul from him, and stole his mind 
 
 Purging the memories of all who came before, behind 
 
 Now mankind fills the planet, draining it ’ s resources dry 
 
 Such is pleasing to the Demons eye 
 
 For when mankind can no longer support himself 
 
 Driven only by the desire to conquer and increase wealth 
 
 He will come from the Void to reap his reward 
 
 And mankind will exist nevermore
