In the beginning there were the five creator races. The Humans, ancestors to mankind; the Dragons, ancestors to their kin of good and evil; the Sylvans, ancestors to the elves, faries, and nymphs; the Barachi, ancestors to giant-kind; and the Sakuurh ancestors to the lizardfolk, nagas and the Yuan-Ti.
The Sakuurh were geniuses and fashioned the Yuan-Ti to be their most perfect and prized servitors, and so they encouraged the one thing that they oppressed in all their other creations: free will. After centuries of servitude, wars and the unexpected failure of the Sakuurh empire the Yuan-Ti rose against their former masters and in time they found patronage in the demon-god Merrshaulk. Merrshaulk led the Yuan-Ti to build a stonger empire, one that covered the world where his reign was supreme and the Yuan-Ti were his favored children. But Merrshaulk was a fickle god, he grew bored of the Yuan-Ti and went into a deep slumber.
With the loss of their god the Yuan-Ti's empire collapsed and the humans, after many hundreds of years of enslavement took advantage of the state of their slavers. The Yuan-Ti, defeated and angry left their cities, their empire and the gods of men exiled them to live in hiding, until their god returned to them. Ages since the Yuan-Ti have been waiting to reclaim their former glory as the other races; elves, dragons, giants and even the lowly men became more powerful than they. But there have been signs, hints that Merrshaulk may be waking from his slumber. And so the malisons, the high priests of Merrshaulk, have called for a holy war to cleanse the world in preperation of Merrshaulk's return.
The War of Scars has begun.
