Pre-release History
The history of the Isparian people on Dereth before the retail release of the game.
Isparians On Dereth: -15 P.Y. to 10 P.Y.
The Fourth Sending Of Darkness
What began with a lost expedition ended up with Dereth changed forever. Foiling an undead cult's attempt to drain the warmth from the world unleashed a terrible danger upon the land. Soon, adventurers found themselves racing against time and their fellow Isparians in order to prevent an ancient evil from being released. And in the darkest of hours, only the alliance of a legendary sorcerer and three of humanity's greatest enemies could offer the hope of defeating the dreaded Hopeslayer, Bael'Zharon.
The Rise of the New Singularity
The order of the Virindi is about to be threatened by a new enemy - Individuality.
Theirs was a world of order, a place blessed with harmony and cursed with solitude. But one band of rogue Virindi sought to cast off the shackles of conformity and attain the power, freedome, and individuality that they believed was their due. When their rebellion crossed over into the realm of the material, Dereth was quickly caught in the middle. Adventurers were forced to contend not only with loyalist Virindi, but with rebels whose 'perfect' new world threatened to destroy theirs.
Elements of Revenge
Martine's lust for revenge against Asheron was nothing compared to that of Gaerlan.
Candeth Martine was torn asunder emotionally by a strange portal that carried him away from the wife and daughter he loved and physically by the Virindi looking to create a living weapon. Freed from their control, only his hatred of Asheron, the one who created the portals in the first place, gave him purpose. With the very power of portalspace at his command, Martine attempted to take his revenge on the man and the world that had cost him everything. However, he and his fellow Isparians soon found themselves at the mercy of a man whose hatred for Asheron eclipsed even Martine's--a man whose wrath would drive the very forces of nature into chaos.

Even Asheron himself seemed unable to stem the dark tide. And where did the mages Nuhmudira fit into the struggle? Was she there to help those most capable of defeating the Olthoi--or to hinder them?
