The land of Isya is a continent steeped in folklore and legend. Tales of heroic deeds, defiant last stands and Orcish uprisings in the haloed powerleveling-fields of Uruga; dot the historys like so many Dangerous Toadstools.

Of all these stories of Might and Magic [TM], Sacrifice and Redemption, Souls and Swords eternally retold [TM], almost all are given to blatant exaggeration and fumbled retelling, so the epics are changed as they pass through the mists of time. For example, it is not common knowledge that the vaunted Lady Elderine was in fact, not so heart-rendingly beautiful as the Legends depict, but was only her brother, Lord Roumen dressing up as a woman!! Roumen was given to dressing in his sister's apparel on the scant days when she wasn't home, and when there were no others in his household. It was on one of those occasions that the Orcs attacked their Elven village. Still clad in his sister's vestments...Roumen waded into battle against the hordes. He cut so womanish a figure that none could not believe that it was Elderine, she who single-handedly repulsed the Orcish armys with the lone butter-knife on hand at the time and christened the verdant valleys with carnage.

When Elderine in fact did return home, lauded for her Herculean effort to save the town, she could not find it in herself to quash the people's hopes and beliefs for a brighter 'morrow. The only person who could have righted the rumors, Roumen himself, was understandably silent.

------------------------

In all the Epics however, there is a degree of truth. None truer however, than the tale of 'Th3 BAt,' aka. 'Death on Leathered Wing', 'Teh lvl-haxed', 'Dark Winged Knight' and of course, the 'Batman.'

Many tales exist of this demonic Fiend that doth stalk hapless level 30s (and a few 70s) in the Moonlight Tomb, known to terrorize the region and annihilate all Adventurers sent by the fools in Elderine against it. The Union of Clans eventually stepped in to rid themselves of this embarrassment and sent entire guilds against it. They too perished. That however, is a story for another time~
