General Story Information
"Chronicle of the Heroes" is the main story line that the heRO server follows for its story related events in the server. The Chronicle's story is written by various GMs and even has some player contributions, especially the noble players. Often, GMs have a rough guideline of knowing where to start and what direction to stir the story towards in terms of results, but details are often left open as GMs improvise according to server players' reactions and decisions. Thus, "Chronicle of the Heroes" is a combined product of both GM team's planning and the players' efforts together.
Players interested in participating in the story only needs to attend these events, and automatically they are welcomed to join in the conversations, discussions or contribute to decision making. It is encouraged that players interested the in heRO story can read over some of the server's background information, along with checking the current chapter of the Chronicle often in case if they missed some important plot development.
From the story's point of view, the "Chronicle of the Heroes" is a detailed record of all events from the beginning of history, written by the historian Auron (named after the former story manager GM). The record starts from the rise of the gods and goddesses for both the Order of the Light Allegiance and Legion of the Dark Allegiance, up to the present day and all that had happened to the Heroes of the world.
Legion of the Dark Allegiance
The Legion of the Dark Allegiance follows the God Erebos, led by Archmage Mystra and Sir Melot.
The Legion of the Dark Allegiance strives for breaking laws and orders, believing that strength and personal power determine the true natural order of survival of the fittest. Erebos first disobeyed the rules of Odin who led the start of civilization to human beings as he considered it an outrageous action to depart the knowledge of gods to the lesser beings of humans. Likewise the Legion of the Dark Allegiance today sought to destroy the current rules and orders to "help those in need," since the world is naturally self governed by strength instead of arbitrary laws.
Though the Legion of the Dark Allegiance is against the current system of order, they remain an organized and effective group. Internal hierarchy of leadership is determined through abilities and capabilities. In an Allegiance where power is judgment, the Legion of the Dark Allegiance will not hesitate to use any means to carry out the necessary goals, which is highly frowned upon by the Order of the Light Allegiance.
The Legion of the Dark Allegiance Allegiance sought to destroy the Order of the Light Allegiance who constantly stands in their path with beliefs in total opposition.
Order of the Light Allegiance
The Order of the Light Allegiance Allegiance follows the Goddess Hestia, led by Lady Thea and St. Vitus.
The Order of the Light Allegiance Allegiance believes in laws and orders to create stability and equality for all human beings, allowing even the weak and the vulnerable to live on equal grounds with everyone else. Hestia was the only one among the Gods to step in against Erebos when Erebos first disobeyed the rules of Odin. To Hestia, Erebos's promotion of "anarchy" is unjust since all human beings are essentially equal, regardless of power or ability, and thus should be treated the same, given the right to live. Likewise the Order of the Light Allegiance today stand to defend rules and orders to "help those in need," since the world naturally relies on people to step up for justice to help those who are vulnerable. The Order of the Light Allegiance will only battle and fight against those who threatens the law.
As expected, the Order of the Light Allegiance heavily emphasizes the concept of order. Internal hierarchy and classes of the clergy is clear and strict, as allegiance members advance in ranks according to their experience and dedication. Although the allegiance stresses on order, the Order of the Light Allegiance will allow exceptional advances if there are great results coming from the members. The Order of the Light Allegiance will always stand true to their words, even if they are forced into compromised situations much to the dislike of the <Legion of the Dark Allegiance

Recent Event: The Overflow of Magic
Ever since the now deceased Dark Conjurer Eudoxie had opened a path towards the realm of eternal fire, Muspelheim, the stars' alignment form a gateway towards the different plane. The heroes fought hard to silence the fire giant Surtur, whose power Eudoxie tried to usurp yet paid with her life in the end of her elaborate plans. Yet in the recent burst of strength in Surtur's power has left the heroes helpless in their battle for the recent months, and many specialists have theorized that there is a direct correlation between the battlefront's status with an apparent overflow of magical powers into the world. The current president of the Kiehl Hyre company and the genius in the world of robotics, Kiel Hyre, expressed his opinions on the matter.
"The delayed seasonal change with the winter snow is the best example," said Hyre.
In a recent press conference, Hyre explained that winter snow this year did not melt until well into the month of April, which is highly unusual for Rune Midgard. Further more, the magical Eternal Crystals and the mysterious fog of Byalan Island appeared during the winter crisis along with the reawakening of the ancient races deep in the ocean of Byalan Ruins. The lord of byalan, Levia Lusca, rose to the service after the ancient slumber to battle the heroes ferociously in a rare shown of aggressiveness against all nations to reclaim their ancient glory. There is no clear explanation for the occurrence of the event, but it is theorized that Levia Lusca and Eralia were both awakened due to a mysterious influx of magical energy.
"And the energy source being the alternate realm of Muspelheim fits all contextual evidence. This massive influx of powerful yet subtle magical energy may be what the Dark Conjurer is looking for," said Hyre. "Perhaps Surtur is still storing his energy since the connection of the realms, yet his stored power is shattered by his defeat. Now that he successfully repelled the heroes for so long, I cannot deny the possibility that only up to now are we truly experiencing the real effects of our world's connection with Muspelheim."
"We really don't know what should we expect. Perhaps new creatures will be born and more ancient beings will awaken..." said Hyre.
Recent findings from Juno laboratories further worried all scholars across all borders. There is said to be a gathering of the flowing magical energies as if it is 'taking a form.' All countries' officials have issued a special warning for all citizens to be on their guard. The independent states of Amatsu, Louyang, Gonryun and Ayothaya though expressed concerns of inadequate forces to protect its citizens. For that, King Tristan III have generously asked his fellow nobles in the court to lend their assistance towards these states. The Baron Oniichan (Street Minista filled in for the baron until he arrived) will be in charge of the state of Louyang. The noble Guillermo will be in charge of the town of Ayothaya. A rising new hero and direct assistance to Lady Pandora, Mass, will be in charge of the town of Gonryun. The Prince Silk will be in charge of his hometown of Amatsu.
On saturday of May 15th, at 4 PM, these individuals lead all interested heroes to the area and helped in maintaining peace against any trouble ahead. The local government along with the Kiehl Hyre corporation lended their maximum assistance for the cause of defending the 4 states.
