114 years before, under the command of General Jaigran, the elves made war against the other races of Arquenia with their allies, the orcs, and having defeated them, rose up in their airships to live in the skies, above all the other races... This event is commonly known as the Great Upheaval. Now those remaining strive to stay alive under the oppressive reign of the elves... and to fight to strike back against the elven tyranny...
Flek was just your average goblin warrior--albeit the best goblin fighter that had ever lived--and one with a voice in his head--a voice that Flek would tell no one else about. Flek wielded corsha weapons, weapons that used a burning hot metal as their blade. Under Lord Freglak, the ruler of the goblins of the forest, Flek awaited for the day when they would be able to come out of hiding and strike back against the elves.
Finally, that day came. According to their reports, an elven transport would be passing over the Great Forest carrying a Sla'ad--a race that almost no one had seen since the great war against the Sla'ad. Seeking to get an ally, Flek along with his band of fighters boarded the airship, quickly taking over it as they freed the Sla'ad, a mysterious leader named Reynyagn who agreed to help them in their fight against the elves.
And the fight came soon. After hearing of the takeover of their airship, the elves began sending forces to discover who this before-unheardof threat was and to exterminate it. Around the same time, a star appeared in the skies--a bright electric-blue star that hadn't been there before, causing much talk among the goblins of what it could be.
Reynyagn explained that the star was one that had been prophesied before--a star that the prophesies said would call together a group of warriors from each race that would have to work together to take down the greatest threat to Arquenia that ever existed. And, according to Reynyagn's perceptions, he and Flek were listed by the prophesy as the representatives of their races that would join this group, commonly referred to as the Xavier Team.
And so, after finally getting permission from Lord Freglak, Reynyagn and Flek set off to follow the star and find their allies that would help them in their war against the greatest threat to Arquenia--the winged elf known as Emperor Jaigran and his army of elves. After journeying many days, the star led them to the mountains where the dwarves had used to live before the Great Upheaval. There, they found beneath the rock a whole country of those who called themselves the Resistance--those who still tried to fight back against Emperor Jaigran and his elves.
And Flek and Reynyagn weren't the only ones to find this place by following the star. Soon they gathered together a group of people. An elven rebel named Zarien who had tried to disable the Mothership--the prize of Emperor Jaigran's fleet; an orc known as Number 994 who had once fought against Zarien, but now apparently had joined Zarien in the fight against Jaigran. A female human medic from the Resistance named Astrid also was called, along with a young dwarf named Jroldin. Along with one more elf, a quiet one named Rider who had spent most of his life in hiding planning how he could destroy the elves, the team was complete--one member from each of the six races and two elves formed the Xavier Team.
Meanwhile, Emperor Jaigran was not idle. He had long been trying to figure out how he could destroy the rebels once and for all, and now he was being offered help. Receiving a strange message to come to the Citadel of Tzel-Maret, Emperor Jaigran decided to go there and see if the mysterious being that sent the message would indeed be able to help him against the rebels.
The Xavier Team, now fully formed, likewise set out to the north to see what they could find. Their mission however, was soon put at risk. Ambushed by renegade orc tribes, the team was split in half, most of the team captured by an orc tribe led by Farshore Garum, while Reynyagn and Number 994 met up with another orc tribe who promised to help them to free their friends.
Farshore Garum, aware of the power that the Xavier Team could have, decided to use the Xavier Team for himself. Planting microchips in their skulls that he could detonate if he was within a mile of them, Farshore pressed them into joining him to help him topple Emperor Jaigran, whom Farshore had learned would be coming to the Citadel of Tzel-Maret for some mysterious purpose. Learning about Jaigran's visit, Reynyagn and Number 994 decided to go to Tzel-Maret as well--both to free their friends and to try and fulfill the prophesy by defeating Emperor Jaigran.
Meanwhile, Lord Freglak was dealing with his own problems. The host of elves were invading the jungle and were consistently beating the goblins back. Worse, the cult of priests that worshipped the Mothertree, a large tree in the forest that they claimed saved them from the elves, were trying to use their power to get Freglak out of office to instate their own ruler in place. And as Freglak tried to keep back both threats, he was losing.
As Emperor Jaigran explored the Citadel of Tzel-Maret to find the being who had sent him the message, the assault on the citadel began. Leading the imprisoned Xavier Team, Farshore Garum and his troops entered the Citadel to try and assassinate Jaigran as Number 994, Reynyagn, and their friendly tribe of orcs tried to do the same. Trapped, Jaigran dueled Reynyagn and Rider for quite some time before managing to slay Rider, only for Reynyagn to mortally wound Jaigran and throw him out the window. Meeting up with the rest of the Xavier Team, rejoined, the Xavier Team managed to escape and get out of the reach of Farshore's detonator.
But Jaigran wasn't dead yet. Managing to fly up to a window, Jaigran collapsed on the floor but managed to get up, the loss of blood abating, as he entered into a chamber in the middle of which was a dark void, where he met the Watcher. The Watcher told him that his golden corsha weapons that he had had magical powers that enhanced his skill, his healing, and also elongated his life to be able to outlive all other elves. The Watcher promised Jaigran a deal--to help Jaigran to destroy the rebels once and for all by finding the seven golden corsha weapons and using them to unleash the Watcher's secret plan. Agreeing, Jaigran and the Watcher began working on a plan to destroy the rebels.
Meanwhile, Lord Freglak finally got his stroke of luck. A certain goblin commander managed to find and awaken the Elder Dragon, a dragon of ferocious power that the goblin managed to control enough to wreck devastation upon the elves. Using the Elder Dragon as his weapon, Jaigran managed to beat back the elves and use it as an excuse to send the plotting priests packing. In full control, Lord Freglak continued to fight the elves--but this time he was the one winning the battles.
Having escaped from the Citadel of Tzel-Maret and now aware that Jaigran was still alive, in despondency, the Xavier Team stopped by a volcano to assess their situation, gazing up at the star as they tried to hope that they could still win with the loss of Rider. Suddenly, out from the volcano came a large humanoid lizard who introduced himself as one of the auggers, the mysterious seventh race of Arquenia that no one else knew existed. Their race had been almost wiped out centuries ago and few people remembered them. This augger, calling himself Augger after the name of his race, said that he, not Rider, was supposed to be the seventh member of the Xavier Team and now complete, the Xavier Team pledged themselves again to their goal of defeating Jaigran once and for all.
