Banishment of the Twili

The Twili had been around for eons, however, they had been banished in the barren realm they now call the Twilight Realm. At some point, they were able to make their way into Hyrule, which had the Hylian solider fight them off, after the Twili discover stories of their fabled Triforce. Fearing the looming threat of the Twili, they had been returned to the Twilight Realm, leaving behind a few tools of war in Hyrule in the process. Soon after the banishment from Hyrule, some began to realize their faults and start a new light of chance, while others developed hatred for the Hylains and wanted to return to Hyrule, however, wanting to fight once again with the Hylains. This group became rebels and were now enemies against the newly formed Twilight Kingdom inside the realm, under Genneth I' ruling. The rebels took it upon themselves to develop new instruments to fight off Genneth I and his people, and soon develop newer tools to match that of and or advancing Hylains weaponry to go for a second chance against them, after overthrowing Gennth I, which failed. Terrace then became the weapon sepcialist and ring leader of the slowly growing group. This resulted in the group building up their ambition and passion for power, in which mostly all Twili had lost after being returned to the Twilight Realm twice already.

Separation, Terrace's Rise and Fall

Months after the banishment, the Twili began to create their own civilization and formed a Kingdom, having Genneth, the one who led the creation of Dark Moon Tower, and other locations to be king. This angered Terrace, who wanted Genneth to seek revenge against the Hylians for dropping them here in the barren Realm. Soon, Terrace influence the people to join him into trying to create a replica of the instrument used to banish the Twili, among the creations, Terrace had his follower make weapons, for he has had enough of Genneth's rule and wanted to overthrow me. Lukoz, a member of Terrace's rebellion insisted me to be careful, for Genneth has many men at his disposal.

Few months later, Terrace had been ambushed while he was in his quarters. It turns out he had made arranges for new weapons to be used against his own people.

Lukoz's Civil War

A few years after Terrace death, Lukoz sought revenge and used Terrace new weaponry plans to attack Genneth and the rest of the Twili by his side. Lukoz went mad and sacrificed his own people in order to make such tools of war. Soon he was able to wage war on Genneth by invading the city. This attack not only got Lukoz captured, but his men were able to kidnap more victims. Lukoz managed to escape the first time and met with a villager of the Kingdom named Magnus. Magnus wishes to see Hyrule for his people spoke highly of such a place, and about an acient device kept hidden by the Hylians. During his time with Dark Age, Magnus's wife at the time bore two children. Soon Magnus' wife had fled after seeing the crazyness the rebel group, now called Dark Age had become. This forced Magnus' wife to flee back to the Kingdom with the children. At this Lukoz had already planned to attack the second time, but before that as a cautious move, he had Dark Age relocate deeper inside the realm. He left Magnus in charge of the moving, while he rallied up more of his men to go and test a new weapon, a prototype replica of the mirror of twilight. Magnus kept a copy of those plans with him and Lukoz took off.

Lukoz's men had an idea of sending lower tier weapons into the mirror as a test, knowing that such power can turn the Hylians against each other, and so they did. Genneth II, the son of Genneth I, was able to spot Lukoz and his men, but didn't attack just yet.

The next day, Lukoz and his men got word of a different group of beings attacking his men as Magnus traveled with them deeper in the Realm, and stated he will deal with the threat after today. Before Lukoz sent foot into the city, he had been ambushed by Genneth II and his army at beach side area of the city, Lukoz was captured and this time restrained. Genneth II wanted to eep the man imprisoned, however, his dying father insisted that the man should be put to death and days later, Lukoz had been executed by the sword.

This word got out to a frustrated Magnus who fought his way against the unknown foes of the realm. Magnus knew he didn't have much time so he acted quickly, in his possession, he had the crafted Dark Artifact ready for use.

Magnus becoming influenced, using Dark Age's arsenal against Twilight Kingdom

Magnus went through years of preparation, however, before he could attack the Kingdom directly, he had t deal with the unknown enemies of the Realm, defeating them and pushing them back further. Magnus grew power hungry and the rest of Dark Age looked up to him. Magnus then used The Dark Artifact, which had been planned and crafted by Tarrface, to control and or manipulate the Twili. He had a captive of the unknown marauders go into the city as a decoy, exploiting the artifact, causing the people there to go crazy, among them was a warrior by the name Macellrius who was in pain trying to resist. Eventually Magnus got into the city and wanted to kidnapped Genneth II, however, the king was in hiding, forcing Magnus to leave, however he had been stopped by Macellrius. The Archer fought with Magnus, along with his friends, Jean and Marko. Magnus had the idea of using the King's men to find him, so he was able to have the artifact find him and used it against all 3 warriors, finally taking Macellrius and Marko prisoners, however, Jean escaped.

Jean informed the King that this new threat will be attacking the kingdom again soon, forcing the King to use the confiscated Mirror of Twilight that was used by Lukoz, not knowing where it would bring his people, since it is unable to reach the fabled Hyrule.

At the Dark Ages HQ. Marko broke free from Magnus and attempted to escape, only to be stopped by his former comrade, Macellrius, who literally gave up his mind to Magnus and became the enchanted Dark Archer of Dark Age. The two fought each other, and Marko was successful and ran off, at this Magnus crafted an even deadlier weapon for the archer, capable of ripping threw targets.

Testing the mirror, prep'd for evac

Marko returned to Genneth II, who had his son go with the nurse to be ready to leave. Genneth II informed the group that they tested the mirror and it had brought them to a peaceful land, and soon the all kingdom is ready to go. Marko tells him that Macellrius is one of them now and is marching his way to take over the city, adding, this is about ending Genneth II bloodline using an ally as a weapon.

Eventually Dark Age, with Macellrius leading the way ravaged the kingdom. The archer's bow and his power literally obliterated the people escaping the city. Jean was able to get Genneth II's son out in time, setting explosives around the mirror to blow up once the evac is completed. Genneth II stayed behind to fight his former friend.

Macellrius, had the Dark Artifact in his possession and taunted Genneth II that his bloodline will end with this. However, Macellrius was able to kill Genneth II, however, the last move made by Genenth II, he was able to destroy and used his power to curse Macellrius and send the now broken artifact directed into the mirror before it was destroyed. Macellrius pushed the corpse of his former friend off of Dark Moon Tower, crashing down below the beach side where Lukoz had been killed in the past. At this Macellrius entered the Genneth throne room with Magnus inside, making him the new leader for his success. Without the artifact, Macellrius was already connected with Magnus regardless, however, began to remain in a suspended state, sitting on the king's chair. This didn't take Magnus long enough to figure out that the broken artifact cause this to happen, and plans to retrieve it continue on with his next phase, which had been delayed due to a ghostly Macellrius unable to move and or speak.

The bomb sent by Jean destroyed the Mirror, however, on the other side a rift remains because the actually mirror wasn't completely destroyed.

Dark Age rebuilding, experiments

Dark Age, under Macellrius, and Magnus' mastermind, had reconstructed the mirror and traced the last location used. Magnus took note of Terrace's blueprint, which had been modified by Lukoz to use the mirror. The grunts of Dark Age were used as mice to go on the other side, resulting in Shawn Reaper and Johnathon being kidnapped and taken to Magnus. What took Magnus' interest was Shawn, seeing as Shawn was not Hylian and or Twili and had something planned for him. He needed someone to match Macellrius. He first saw this in Johnathan, however, the abnormalities created a shadow monster instead.

Broken Lands War

Ever since Jonathan and Shawn went missing, Jean took knew that Dark Age wasn't done yet, he informed the King of Novos Orsa to take action, using the Sol Fragments that came from their Realm, that produced into light energy particles to fight against Dark Age. With this information, Novos Orsa and other nations had weeks to prepare for an unknown war against Dark Age. Finally Magnus' group emerge out of the Broken Lands rift, only to be ambushed by warriors of Orsa. This led Magnus to use Johnathan Shine, now known as Okari, in which he was later defeated. Running out of options, he used a dark tool to hide the rift in order to prevent Orsa warriors from pursuing Dark Age, making them think that the rift had vanished. After the war, Magnus was able to release Shwan, now known as Shad, who had Dark Age create a Fortress and used his power to hide the Fortress. He then had them construct a Mirror, contain the rift inside and had it guarded below the fortress.

Putting Shad in command, planning still

He had Shad take over, resulting in Shad renaming Dark Age to NADI. Shad was tasked to recover the Dark Artifact for Magnus still needed it for something, not telling Shad why, only saying to free Macellrius. Aside from helping Shad, focusing on his plans, he had to fend off the Forgotten Ones who were bothering him from time to time. Magnus had captured a few of them and used them for his purposes.

Even though Macellrius was in charge after Magnus, due to his condition, Shad took over for him.
