A dark cloud hangs over Chantra, what was once a fairly peaceful world is being plunged into chaos, 4 dark figures have emerged from the shadows intent on taking control of all Chantra.

No one knows why they have suddenly rose to be a threat to the world, rumours of them holding ancient artefacts have as yet been unconfirmed, but it seems likely that some form of mystical force is responsible.

The Battle for Chantra is coming, the time has come for individuals and guilds alike to declare their loyalty to one of the champions and prepare for the ultimate battle. Who you choose is up to you, but your actions may forever shape the future of Archlord.

Ulric – Champion of Zylok

A feared warrior, who believes the only effective form of diplomacy is actioned by a sword. this Human Warrior has been recruiting the most evil residents of Chantra to his powerful guild and is believed to be seeking pledges of support from other guilds in return for their safety.

Ktat – Champion of Tulan

This crazed Sorcerer was once a key member of Tulan Society, however as with many, the powers he harnesses has warped his mind, now he lusts for power, and will take it any way necessary, his guild has grown as word of his power and madness has spread across Chantra.

Rockett – Champion of Anchorville

Not much is known of this character, rumours are he was a vagrant pickpocket, until one day he acquired a mystical amulet, noone knows whether this was given to him by someone on purpose, or whether he acquired it from the pocket of some powerful mage, all that is know is that since that time, he has been unstoppable, he gained control of his guild after slaying the previous guild leader in a vicious street battle, and has now decided that the whole of Chantra should be his.

Diggler – Champion of Terranoa

Once the king of Terranoa’s trusted general, Diggler the master Archer was feared on the battlefield, known as much for his looks as his archery skill, Diggler disappeared shortly after a tavern brawl left his face badly scarred, rumours were he became a highwayman ambushing passing merchant caravans, building up the funds required to reappear with a strong guild to take back the target in his aim…Chantra.

Scouts have been dispatched to gather more info, but until they return watch your back, Chantra is no longer safe.

(OOC) more information will be revealed on here over the coming days, and the champions will soon make their appearence. this event will give players the chance to interact directly with Codemasters staff (And Ulric) in Chantra
