The Fey

The first beings in the world were the Fey, great magical creatures. Some say they even created the other races, such was their magic so strong - although this is disputed by the two major religions. At first, the Fey considered these races their equals and shared the lands. No one truly remembers what happens, whether the Fey were corrupted, but some of the Fey began to believe they should rule over the other, lesser races. The Fey began to take these races as their slaves. When there was resistance, the Fey created the goblin race to use as their soldiers. The Fey and their Goblin armies threatened the entire world, until an alliance of the three main races, Humans, Dwarves and Orcs, fought back, with help from some of the Fey. The Fey were defeated and retreated back to Albion, where they attempted to rebuild their forces.

Until the great hero, Arthur, the Dragon King, and his Knights, killed the Fey Queen in battle. Arthur himself was killed, and the remaining Fey were said to have retreated into the Feywild, a realm twisted by magic and riddled with mystery.
