Chapter 1: Rise of Darkness - Children of Shilen
	After the fall of the Giants, the Elves, Orcs and Humans fought endless wars for domination of the continent. Thousands died daily on the battlefields. Humans experienced unprecedented, large-scale destruction, yearning for death and the next world.
	Chapter 2: Rise of Darkness - Awakening of Shunaiman
	A miracle appeared at the crowning ceremony of Emperor Shunaiman, the great emperor of Elmoreden. A girl with three pairs of wings came down from the heavens surrounded by holy fire. With a clear, bright voice, she explained she was Anakim, envoy of Einhasad.
	Chapter 3: Rise of Darkness - Seal of Gnosis
	All outside threats eventually dissipated and Emperor Shunaiman applied his efforts to strengthening his empire internally. In the ten years that followed, the newly formed empire became strong, controlling the entire continent through large-scale development and territorial expansion.
	Chapter 4: Rise of Darkness - Seal of Avarice
	In the process of casting the Seal of Gnosis, Emperor Shunaiman and his followers were said to have gained the ability to tell the future. Perhaps this was derived from the power of Einhasad, that of Shilen, or from the gods themselves.
	Chapter 5: Rise of Darkness - Seal of Strife
	Lilith and the forces of Shilen were imprisoned underground by the Seal of Avarice, but the Children of Shilen remained above ground. Those who rejected the revelation of Shunaiman, the black magicians that worshipped the god of death, and the Elven tribes that returned to Eva and followed Shilen, all challenged the absolute authority of Einhasad.
	Chapter 6: Rise of Darkness - Lilith, Daughter of Shilen
	Many theories have been raised about the birth of Lilith, but the most prominent opinion is that she was an oracle that served Shilen during the era of the Giants. However, when she became active in the Elmoreden era, her appearance was that of an Elf with ashen-colored skin.
	Chapter 7: Rise of Darkness - Anakim, Envoy of the Gods
	The dispute over the nature of angels was tumultuous. Human priests insisted angels were children of Einhasad, the god of light. The Magisters said angels were higher spirits of light. In the Revelation of Kaisha, the following reference to the creation of angels is believed the most appropriate means of reconciling the two arguments.
	Chapter 8: Rise of Darkness - The Lilim and Nephilim
	Countless aristocrats and saints have been buried in the Cemetery of Aden. The tombstone that Martien touched was hidden in a small area of the forest, surrounded by tall trees thick with needles...
	Chapter 9: Rise of Darkness - Necropolis and Catacombs
	The building style of the Necropolis resembles an ancient style used widely in the early days of the Elmoreden Empire. Rooms and passageways of standard size are connected in irregular ways, so seems to have been constructed over many eras. The structures and preservation of the detailed decorations are in very good condition.
	Chapter 10: Rise of Darkness - The Seal Stones
	Emperor Shunaiman, who had the power to control all seven seals, was like a god of the land. Yet, he knew the risk that all this incredible power could drive the world to ruin, if held by only one person. Toward the end of his rule, Shunaiman searched for a way to pass control of the seals to his successors. As a result, only those linked to the emperor by blood would inherit control of the seals.
