The first war ended when the races of Elves, Dwarfs, Hawk People and Humans held off Goddess Hel as she trapped them on an island. The four races asked her sister, Goddess Atla, for help. Goddess Atla gave each race a blessed weapon and a gem that was used to restore the balance between good and evil and defeat the troll army. When the war ended, Goddess Atla named a keeper to hold these items until they were needed again. It's now seven hundred years later. Greed, hate, and many other negative actions have tipped the balance in Goddess Hel's favor, and she is unleashing the shadows to run her troll army. Goddess Atla has told the keeper, Alastrine, who the weapons and gems must go to. Now they are in a race to get to the temple and send the gems' energy through the crystal there and restore the balance before Goddess Hel destroys them.
