So, colleagues, first the backstory.
I would like to call the world where the action takes place something like Rosin, Rosan, or something similar (since I am a Russophile). But that is not the essence. It is a world that was originally ruled by Chaos. But after the destruction of their own worlds, the surviving humans, elves, dwarves, etc., arrived in Rosin (I will continue to call this world that for now).
Initially, the demons rejoiced at these newcomers in anticipation of their destruction (i.e., as food). But the survivors, uniting and pooling their military and magical capabilities, routed the demon hordes in a terrifying clash that nearly destroyed Rosin and cast the remnants back into the Hell that spawned them. The Demon Lord of that time was disembodied and stripped of his physical form by the strongest sorcerers of all the victorious races, and his astral component was imprisoned within a composite artifact. This artifact was dismantled, and its components were taken by the humans, elves, and others, who agreed to protect them with all their might, calling themselves the Order of Guardians.
Losses among the victors were also colossal, but after the victory, all the victors peacefully divided the world: the land to the humans, their beloved forests to the elves, the Dungeon to the Dark ones, the foothills to the dwarves, and the orcs left for the islands. There was enough space for everyone, even in abundance (the number of victors was small).
Several centuries passed. The memory of the great victory faded among the new generations, and new concerns arrived.
The victors, each in their own lands, mostly prospered and led ordinary lives.
However, their numbers increased significantly, and petty grievances gradually began to arise, which grew into major ones, which in turn escalated into skirmishes. Humans began to build cities, which required wood and stone, and ore for smelting metals. For elves, the life of every tree is sacred, so they began to obstruct the loggers, and later simply kill them. Humans had to send armed detachments to protect the loggers.
The dwarves, into whose depths humans also gradually intruded, also began to resist.
A large-scale war was avoided only by reminding them of the victory they achieved together and through a series of treaties limiting the use of resources. The dwarves mostly split into Clans and dispersed from a single state under the northern mountains, untouched by humans. The elves created several giant forest massifs, protected them with spells, and settled there. For the Dark ones, their native Dungeon, where humans do not yet venture, provides for them mostly, although life there cannot be called wonderful. Due to their innate suspicious nature, several large clans are in constant enmity and often carry out raids on either the dwarves or the humans. The orcs on their islands mostly became pirates and plunderers and also frequently indulge in raids. The humans, in turn, are divided into several kingdoms, and every king from time to time tries to become an emperor and turn the kingdoms into an empire.
But the demons, once defeated, also exist and have not reconciled with their defeat. At the instigation of certain demon lord-sorcerers, a cult of Death arises among the victors, and the first Necromancers appear, finding the most remote and abandoned corners of Rosin for their research. But for now, their research has not reached the level of practice.
But among humans, a cult of the One Creator also appears, who created all worlds, including Rosin. Gradually, a religion emerges that persecutes the former paganism. Faith in the One becomes the state religion; preachers and priests incline individual representatives of other races toward it, although mostly each race adheres to its own pantheon (I think this will also need to be developed).
The demons are gradually recovering from the rout, restoring their numbers, and slowly regaining their skills. Several demon lords, uniting, decide to elect a Lord from among themselves and expel the invaders, or even destroy everyone, subjugating Rosin to themselves once again. But Rosin cannot be reclaimed by the sheer momentum of armies.
Realizing that the hopes for victory are shaky, because in the face of annihilation the races might unite again and this time completely destroy the demons, the demon lords decide to steal the composite artifact in which the soul of the former Lord is imprisoned, give him a body, and hand him power, remaining by his side as generals, aides, etc.
And that is where our plot begins, colleagues. I propose to divide the upcoming scenario into several plotlines. Each person writes for the hero of the race they are more inclined toward. In other words, someone writes for a Light Elf, someone for a Dark one, etc.
The Order of Guardians discovered that the demons had begun searching for the composite artifact after the demons, through cunning and deceit, stole one part of the composite artifact (I propose we think this through as well). This could be done as the betrayal of one of the Guardians, who succumbed to the promises of shapeshifting demons and became a necromancer.
Realizing that in the current fragmented world a direct demon attack cannot be withstood, a decision is made at an astral meeting of the Guardian mages to destroy the components of the artifact. But to do this, they must be joined together again and only then destroyed (how—I haven't figured out yet). For this, young, strong representatives of each of the races are needed, but only one representative each, no more, so that the demons do not find out and intercept the messengers, because one person can pass unnoticed where an army would inevitably be spotted. Later, when the messengers are on their way, some companions will gradually join them (colleagues, I remind you that we are writing a scenario for a screen adaptation, so armies of heroes are more suitable for a game). I propose to divide the upcoming scenario into several plotlines. Each person writes for the hero of the race they are more inclined toward. In other words, someone writes for a Light Elf, someone for a Dark one, etc.
