The Combined Empire

Overview
The Combined Empire formed in order to fight The Midnight Company and was the first and only time that Humans, Dwarves and Elves came together under a single leadership due to the extent of the threat proposed by The Midnight Company and their new leadership under The Shadow King. The Combined Empire was led by the four remaining members of The Protectors of the Realm, the greatest warriors from across the continents.

History
The Combined Empire came together 5,005 years ago to combat The Midnight Company's secret army who were attempting a full scale takeover of Vizall this became known as The Battle for the Dawn. Around the same time The Reapers, who were previously aligned with Drogar the Skullcrusher, joined forces with The Midnight Company and became their warriors for The Battle for the Dawn.

During this battle The Protectors of the Realm led the newly formed Combined Empire into battle against the rogues of The Midnight Company as well as an army of undead that was raised to aid the assault of Vizall. The Protectors of the Realm was missing their leader, Misdek Wintersurge, meaning their moral was low. This is considered to be the reason why Orkurth Axearm and Vagnan Dragonstone were slain during the Battle for the Dawn.

During The Battle for the Dawn darkness of an unholy power filled the sky and The Combined Empire were outnumbered by The Midnight Company. It is believed that the Gods intervened and drove back the undead and boosted the moral of The Combined Empire which led to the retreat of The Midnight Company. Others suggest the Gods took part in the battle to stop The Shadow King from destroying The Combined Empire. The first acknowledgment of The Shadow King occurred in this battle and it is believed he led the conflict as well as The Midnight Company, even though his existence has never been confirmed. It is believed if he does exist he may contain some of the power of Annihilus, The Midnight Companies God. The Shadowwalkers, powerful undead magic users, aided The Midnight Company during this battle and it is believed that The Shadow King has total control over them. After the battle was over the darkness was lifted and The Midnight Company vanished.
