Nissi -The Return of the Noths

STORY

One year after The Nurith War, life was good. Macerios and Pintheo have united to become the country of Shammah. The Nurith are utterly vanquished and no traces of them can be found. Hormah has been rebuilt and Joab changed its name to Katheros. Rone and Agate have been looking over Shammah and Hayah, Misty and Joab have been training the Macerean knights. One day Kaedmon the Keyholder showed up for a visit. There was a warm reception and they discussed old times. But then he relayed a message from the Seer of Ketubim. The Seer is holding a council and would like everyone to meet at his house in Ketubim. Rone arrived to find all his old friends waiting. And the Seer tells his story:

Many miles away, in the southeastern corner of the world, there is a continent known as Menigah. Many, many years ago, the Seer recalls, there was trade between Macerios and Menigah. But something cut that trade off. The king of Menigah abruptly died and left no heir. A civil war broke out, and the leaders of the powerful houses fought for the throne. This war lasted many years, and all were weary of it. But one leader sought other means to win the war. He held council with a witch, and made a pact with the Noths. The Noths would come up from Sheol and help fight the war and set this man up as king. Soon after, Noths began to possess people from all over Menigah and cast them into the sea. Within a year, all of Menigah was under the thumb of the one Leader. But the Noth's had other plans. The Noth Lord Sheth possessed the leader and subdjegated all of Menigah.

The Noths ruled. It was they that first sent the Nurith to attack Menigah and Pintheo. And now that their precious Nurith have been defeated, Sheth has a score to settle. He has been secretly doing the forbidden. He has sent some of his Noths to sleep with mortal women, and their offspring become the mighty Nephilim, the giants of old. With an army of Nephilim at his disposal, who can stand in his way? And what will Rone and his friends do to stop him?
