"Once upon a time there was a grand old tree whose wisdom was unmatched and whose kindness was known by all. He was chopped down to make furniture.

In a clearing nearby a pine grew, bitter at the thoughtless slaughter of his friends and family. Cursing the people who would cause such wanton destruction, this Pine decided to use his cunning to destroy the villages nearby who had flourished off of the backs of his friends' corpses. Literally, as the disgusting creatures would cobble together the bodies of Pine's people and live inside of them. His first foray into the deaths of the surroundings was successful, when he successfully destroyed an army of defenders assembled by camn.

In despair and anger, camn turned to Alisae, ruler of a neighboring land, to attempt to extract revenge. Alisae, in a strange fit of solidarity turned to camn and smiled. Together, they raised another army and tore their way through Pine's minions, rallying behind the banner of the great champion Ellibereth. Unfortunately, as all such champions do, Ellibereth had a fatal weakness, and in the dead of night Pine's spies managed to fill Ellibereth with bullets. Still, Camn very nearly had the last laugh, and Pine grew even more wary in his expansions. He took village after village, town after town, expanding his Dark Forest until it had nearly engulfed the lands of Alisae.

Alisae, fearing the worst, commissioned the construction of an impregnable castle, with walls as tall as any tree and twice as thick, made entirely out of stone. E sent Beeboy, the most trusted retainer e had to summon all of the warriors in the land. Scarcely a month later, Beeboy was found dead on the path out of the castle, the forest growing to it's very gates. Of the Champions summoned, a paltry 25 had answered the call."
