Marzak

They call them demons. But demons were once elves—exiled, betrayed, forgotten. Three thousand years ago, a civil war split the elven race in two: light against dark. The light elves won, and history became their weapon. They erased names, burned records, and turned the vanquished into monsters of myth. The dark elves were cast into the Darklands, a prison between time and space, where nothing grows, nothing moves, and nothing forgets. Three thousand years passed. The world moved on. The stories twisted. The truth died. But shadows remember. In the Darklands, cruelty became order. Strength became survival. The weak were consumed; the ruthless rose. And at the top stands Marzak, unchallenged for two millennia, his will unbroken, his vengeance cold and precise. His mages are close to breaching the seal - but they need a focus. A medium - a living vessel to channel the spell. And fortunately for them, the elves were foolish enough to believe that the Darklands had long since devoured their old enemies. They banish to the Darklands the very person the dark elves need to finally exact their revenge: Amaya, a medium. Backstory: Mediums are generally seen as a potential danger and are locked away by the elves. But Amaya was more powerful and dangerous than any medium before her. She managed to escape. It was her own father (one of the mages who banished the dark elves to the Darklands 3000 years ago) who hunted her down and brought her back. The elves realized that she was too difficult to control, but since they could not find a plausible reason for an execution that would not have made the people suspicious, they let her disappear instead: into the Darklands.
