The Dark Tide of the Night-Creatures

An ongoing war between all that live on the Planet below and the fierce and unwavering Night-Creatures that seem to pour endlessly from the depths of the Great Forests, it is a battle titled "The Dark Tide of the Night-Creatures", or simply, "The Dark Tide". No one knows where they come from, how so many come to be, or why they seem so keen on eliminating all sentient life on the Planet. All that is known is that these monsters' numbers are practically infinite and unceasing.   The High Elves and Ink Elves are the main adversaries against the Night-Creatures in this forever war, with the Ink Elf armies and the Golden Order of the Empty providing the High Elves with a constant presence of protection. The Ink Elves use magic, creating great walls of force, magical minefields full of explosive runes, and spell slingers ready to throw fire and ice upon any monster than gets to close to Ley-Lhyandir. For the High Elves, their almost endless army of animated dead, encased in golden plate armour and wielding decorated halberds provide their day-to-day protection. After all, something already dead knows no fear in the heat of battle. When the Nigh-Creatures' ranks get too large, the High Elves send out their own living soldiers and generals to assist, holding the line behind the Golden Order of the Empty to allow their dead to take the brunt of the attack.   For the Wild Elves, who live amongst the Night-Creatures within the Great Forests, the war takes the shape of guerrilla warfare instead. From high vantage points up in the branches of the trees, or from concealed positions in the undergrowth, arrows and poison heavily weaken the forces of darkness.
