lmmortal: Unchained takes place in an alternate universe with a backstory heavily inspired by Norse mythology. At the beginning of time, the Nine Realms and Nine Races were created by the Monolith, a stone artifact at the center of the universe with a bas relief of a tree on its face. The Prime and Azurian races went to war over control of the Monolith, with the Primes emerging victorious and taking their place as the rulers of the realms. The Prime’s leader, King Naro, enlisted the aide of a Degonite warrior named Cathal to help fight the Azurians, to the objection of his sons Orin and Naylon. Due to their animosity towards him, the other Primes forbid Cathal from reproducing; instead, he tears out part of his heart and splits it into three pieces, which he uses to bring to life three children; Malog, Arlen, and Iska. Using the power of the Monolith, the three Oracles foretell a prophecy in which the three children of Cathal will bring about the downfall of the Primes.
In an attempt to avert the prophecy, the Primes imprison, exile, or kill Cathal’s children, causing Cathal to swear revenge against the Primes, starting by slaying Naro’s son Naylon, the most beloved of the Primes. Cathal is imprisoned for this crime. Malog is imprisoned in the depths of the Prime’s capital city, growing into a powerful beast destined to kill King Naro. Arlen is exiled to the human forest world of Veridian, where he is tracked down and murdered by Orin in an attempt to avert the prophecy which states Arlen will kill Orin; however Arlen’s vengeful spirit merges with the forest and corrupts it, trapping Orin when he attempts to escape. Iska escapes to the Abyss, where she uses cybernetics to create undead warriors, declaring herself the Queen of the Dead and raising an army of undead to get revenge against the Primes. After many generations, the Nine Realms begin to collapse, with the Prime civilization falling to ruin and Iska’s undead army swarming across the universe, signalling the beginning of the End Times foretold by the prophecy.
