I also wouldn't mind seeing stories from not only before the demons. But also afterwards.

I've been thinking of a story involving a few of the escaped banshees holding fort in a doomed seige up the north cape. A bit of a symbolic "never say die" and "never give up type" of fable.

EDIT- Plus It'll give my character an excuse to explore the northern lands.

What about this? It explains some things in our bio...

Hundreds of years had pasted since the founding of the Academy of the Blades. The Academy was ever growing and was going strong. It was known to be helpful to anyone who was in trouble or was at war with evil. In 1564YP they would be as helpful as always. It was the year when the Humans were at war with evil itself: Gorgoth, leader of a pack of demons who called themselves Crates Demi, ‘Demons who will rule’. When Pennor, grandson of the legendary Sarki and guild Master of the Academy learned that Gorgoth was planning a massive attack on the Humans, he send out his best scouts to watch the lands. Only one of them returned. He had seen a greater army then he had ever seen before. Demons, semi-humans and undead had plotted together against the Humans. Evil battle mages, flying demonic creatures and havily armored fighters were all heading at full speed for the land of the Humans.

Immediately Pennor called a council, where he told his advisers about the upcoming fight between Gorgoth and the Humans, who didn’t even knew they were going to be attacked. One member of the council, Morghan Zortal, suggested not to support the Humans. When this plan was scorned he was furious, saying he wouldn’t want to be slain. He walked out of the Guild Hall and later on deserted to Gorgoth’s army.
The council decided to set up an ambush. They would let Gorgoth’s army walk into some kind of funnel and then attack the army from behind. In the back or their army stood the weakest melee-fighters, the battle-mages. They were to be attacked before they could cast any summoning spells.
But even with this strategy the odds were against the Academy of the Blade and the Humans. They were outnumbered, unprepared and light armored against a horde of raging demons and undead.

But the plan worked. Gorgoth thought he had surprised the Humans as well as Pennor. There were only few Human-fighters to be seen on the battlefield and Gorgoth ordered all of his fighters to charge, leaving him and his mages unprotected. This was the moment Pennor had been waiting for. Banshee-fighters accompanied with Humans stormed out of all directions and went straight to the battle-mages who were totally surprised. Some fled, some were stunned and those few who still had the wits to cast a spell, were interrupted in their spellcasting. Since Gorgoth was going to be the next target of the Banshee guild members, he ordered all of his fighters to return to defend him. When the fighters turned 180 degrees to help their leader, they were attacked in the back by archers who had been hiding themselves on the nearby hills till this moment. Fire arrows lit up the sky and pierced the fighters. Some were lucky not to be hit by the rain of fire and they tried to flee, but their passage was cut off. They were slain to the last man, including Morghan Zortal. His body was later burned and the ashes were thrown into the crater on top of Mount Silver.

In the meanwhile Gorgoth begged for his live, saying he was going to live in exile and would never attack the Humans or Pennor again. Pennor doubted the sincerity of this supplication and ended Gorgoth’s pathetic life with a single strike of his sword and ended the existence of Crates Demi.

However, Gorgoth’s son had sworn to revenge his father’s death. He would create a new army which was going to destroy Pennor and his Academy of the Blades. This demon was called Saluvius.

Good stories so far everyone. I am thinking of one right now. Just give me awhile.

One thing in my story isn't correct. In the 5th or 6th sentence I wrote:....Pennor and his guild.
It should be, the land of the Humans.

Sorry
