A Grand Tale of Epic Proportions
EvilBane’s storyline begins with a mysterious legacy, passed down from generation to generation. The story speaks of humans discovering a way to enchant gear with power via the Heavenstones.
According to the tale, the Heavenstones’ power grew with the use of these powerful crystals until they were able to imbue power to their physical bodies. The sages of yore threw a blanket of secrecy over all that related to the history and use of the Heavenstones and took great pains to hide their existence all over the world. The story continues twenty years after the conclusion of the Guardians War, when the mighty hero, Sir Dominion, finally returns to Matera with his trusted disciple. And so, with the help of EvilBane players around the world, the story begins again.
