Rappelz Story
From Rappelz Wiki
In the beginning of time, the world was kept in order by the divine elements of Creation and Destruction. Two gods held providence over the human race. The gods came to believe that the humans, in their floundering youth, were too naïve and ignorant to develop their own civilization. As a result, the gods sent the Deva and the Asura to assist the humans. The Deva embodied light, while the Asura embodied darkness.
Through some initial hardship, the human beings—known as the Gaia—created a prosperous civilization and settled into a time of peace.
Tragically, the Gaia became troubled when a woman calling herself “The Witch” emerged. She disapproved of the sanctity that had been handed down from ancient times and claimed that the history of the Gaia was riddled with lies and half-truths. Believing that the Deva and Asura were not truly the descendants of the gods, the woman claimed that the three races were not meant to co-exist. Her charisma and resolve led many of the Gaia to see reason in her words, turning many of them into religious fanatics. As brother turned against brother, the Gaia race was thrown into chaos, and all that they had worked so hard to create was in danger of unraveling.
The Witch was a powerful sorceress, so powerful that the Gaia, Deva, and Asura had to band together to fight this greater threat. In the end, the woman was captured and burned alive.
The world of the Gaia returned to a state of uneasy peace.
Years later…
Suspicion has risen that followers of the Witch have emerged once again. Among the Gaia, there is renewed interest in the teachings of the Witch, and slowly the rumblings of civil war are surfacing. The Deva and Asura, once allies of the Gaia, have since settled into their own lands, their attention on their own concerns. Will these bearers of light and darkness put aside their differences to reunite with the Gaia? Are the teachings of the Witch nothing more than the mumblings of a long-dead prophet, or is something more sinister at work?
