Where victory ends... a whole universe begins!
The Devourer Saga was truly epic, and began in the first months of AdventureQuest's launch and the first appearance of the Drakel.
The Drakel were a race that hid from the world-ravaging Devourer in domed cities hidden across the world of Lore, and remained there for 1000 years. They developed their "magiscience" (technology crossbred with magic) to a high degree while locked away, hoping that when they emerged they would be able to find a way to stop the Devourer if he returned to Lore.
Trouble was, the Devourer is basically a god... a god in our universe, anyway. The husband of the Creator, Lorithia, he was hired by her to be her opposite, to test worlds for signs of unity, and if a world was found wanting - to complete his duty ... a duty to travel through space to space and feed on the elemental and life forces of a world that qualifies for his attention. If ever a world is found to be beyond redemption, it is his duty to uncreate it, erasing the world from both space and time.
The Devourer left Lore 1000 years ago as an unfinished meal-- it had much potential to become more satisfying. And then, just 2 years ago, the Devourer returned.
For all of the Drakel's technological might and occult knowledge, defeating a god was not one of their powers. With the Drakel reemergence from the domes came a new era of war and chaos on Lore. The Humans, Elves, Dwarves and others who had also managed to survive the Devourer's first coming had built kingdoms in the plains, forests and mountains that continually fought against outside forces. The Drakel became yet one more enemy, and a dangerous one at that.
But even while Lore's civilizations adapted to the Drakel's return, dark and sinister forces were at work in the name of the Devourer...
These forces were part of the Network, a vast, loosely-connected group of alien races from the many worlds he had previously visited; many of which were culled from the worst of the universe. The Devourer took them into service in hopes of their redemption. Many, however, did whatever it took at some time or another to preserve themselves from the Devourer's appetite - some, by ensuring that his appetite was directed elsewhere. They became his servants, his followers, his assistants ... spreading across the galaxy, they were charged with testing the universe for the signs of unity and salvation that might grant worlds a reprieve.
Only a select few remained true to this goal. Instead, many sought to leverage his journeys to their own advancement and seed worlds with chaos, war, fear, and corruption... all the better to increase a world's "taste" for the Devourer.
Despite the godlike power of the Devourer, and the billions of those in his Network, what saved Lore was YOU, the people of Lore, uniting against all odds. Human, Drakel, Elf, Orc.... Vampire, Werewolf.... Dragonslayer, Paladin, Necromancer and Wizard....In your unity came a strength that even the Devourer could not deny.
For you were able to summon forth the Avatar of Lorithia herself to attest to your courage and strength. The Devourer was made to see the treachery of those who sought to manipulate him, and he cast them away. He was moved by your determination. And so he left, returning to his neverending journey through the universe.
A time of victory is only well-spent if it is spent preparing for the next threat...
Unity will leave us nowhere unless we do what must be done to preserve it, to expand it, and to ensure that those who would always be a threat -- the Network -- are stopped.
To do that, there is only one option...
ATTACK!
The WarpForce is coming. July 2009.
