Prologue
From atop the highest mountain in the Blasted Lands, a dreadlord looks over toward Nethergarde Keep just as a death knight walks over to him. "Did you call me master?" the death knight asks. "Yes I did Ilifar," answers the dreadlord. "I feel that the reign of Razelikh the Defiler over the Blasted is once again in danger," says Razelikh the Defiler. Ilifar asks, "Is the threat from Nethergarde Keep?" Razelikh the Defiler nods in disagreement, "No. They fear me. This threat comes from someone trained to deal with demons. A demon hunter."

Meeting a Fallen Hero
Two hooded Elves walk out of Stonard, heading west, on their way toward the Blasted Lands. When they get distance between themselves and Stonard, they remove their hoods, reveling themselves to be Raijin and Alexander "Alex" Goldblood. They reach a fork in the road. Alex, a demon hunter, is searching for the spirit of an Orc that he saw in a dream. The spirit told him to come to the Swamp of Sorrows to slay a demon that he himself had failed to kill. Raijin, a death knight, glances over at Alex, "Which way brother"? Alex points left, "This way". Alex begins walking on the left fork, but Raijin runs his hand through long hair with an uneasy look on his face. "Are you sure Alex"? Raijin asks. Alex responds back, "I'm sure. I can sense the spirit I saw in my dream". Raijin simply shrugged his shoulders and followed Alex down the left path. They continue walking until they see an Orc spirit. They hurry toward the Orc spirit. When they reach the Orc spirit, they kneel before him. The Orc greets them, "I've been expecting you Alex Goldblood. And who is this?" Raijin stands and steps forward, "I am Raijin Goldblood, his older brother." The Orc nods in approval, "You brought backup. That's good. You're gonna need it for the task at hand." Alex stands and asks, "And what might that task be?" The Orc spirit points toward the ground, "Sit down please. This story may take a while but will explain what is going on and your task."
