Farakor is a land of beauty where peace has lived for years letting the people of this land grow but now the land whispers of a coming darkness to all who will listen to the warning although none now live to hear it. Those that live here prosper unaware of the coming threat. Somewhere in the darkness they stir waiting for there time to rise in conquest. While throughout the land the age old protectors of the worlds order awake, The great Dragons rise to ready the world and weed out those unfit to live in it before the darkness comes again. Who will Rise and Who will be swallowed by the sands of time only to be forgotten.
