FlyFF- The Rise of Clockworks
The Story
The Story
Hundreds of years ago far in the western lands of Kernes in Western Darkon, a beast awakened. It has burned a path of destruction through the land, masquerpets of all kinds following it, assisting it in battle. When the beast had reached the town of Darken, all those who fought the beast perished. Those who survived fled to the Erons Factories in Eastern Darkon. Eight individuals rose up from the chaos and set out to lead the resistance to take back Darken. It was a long and difficult battle, but in the end, the resistance won and the beast was sealed up in the mountains south of Darken. The beast was known as Clockworks, and the eight who led the resistance were the heroes whose wills we follow when we ascend to our second classes in the hallowed grounds of the temple of Guardiane.
Clockworks has been sealed for hundreds of years. Many a time he has weakened the seal, but has not fully broken it. This is largely in part due to the fact guilds have fought him continuously, keeping him weak. Only the guardians know what would happen if he was allowed to regain his full power...
Eventually, people started to forget about the Clockwork War and guilds slowly stopped fighting Clockworks and he started to regain his power little by little.
Eventually, when all battles between guilds and Clockworks had ceased, he had almost regained his power. Months later, he had fully broken the seal, descending upon Darken at full power. Many rose up to fight him, but he was too powerful to fully fight back. It didn't help much when the masquerpets that allied with him long ago rose up to assist him once again. Even humans joined forces with the beast, making the battle more difficult. Within days, Darken was overrun. Weeks later, the Khip Ra region had fallen to the invading forces. Deep from underground, more sentinent masquerpets had risen up, attacking Flaris and Saint Morning as well.
Within months, all of Madrigal was overrun with masquerpets. Those who survived the attacks in Darkon had fled to the firey temple of Guardiane, the deep labryinth of Dekane Mines, or the high peaks of the Gouthian mountains. In Flaris, the twisted forests of the Nyangnyang's territory, the craggy Leren mountains, or deep inside of the old mines of Mas. Those in Saint Morning either fled to the temple of Ivilliss, the Tableland of Silence, or to the Garden of Rhisis on the island to the northeast. Banding together in these places, the remaining forces of Madrigal were ready to do battle with Clockworks and his minions. Only time will tell which side prevails...
