Grimsbane Concept Idea

I am extremely excited for AQ3D right now that I can barely contain myself for what's to come in July.  I also understand that this game was to take on a more serious tone than it's predecessors, so I've devised a brilliant idea for it's background story and how it would be possible for Grimsbane to be able to almost COMPLETELY WIPE OUT THE GUARDIANS!

Grimsbane, the main villain of AQ3D, was responsible for the destruction of all of the previous Guardian Towers. Considering how powerful and organized the Guardians ('Jedi' powered by Dragon Magic) are, you'd think that destroying just One tower would be quite a handful. Grimsbane on the other hand, he almost COMPLETELY WIPED OUT the Guardians! The Question is... How?

How did he do it? Here is my idea: he PLANNED their downfall. Look at any real Dictator or War General, and you could tell that raw strength wasn't what gave them the upper hand in wars. It was their tactical minds that took advantage of the situations that were present before them, and if there wasn't any in their favor then they'd MAKE ONE. This is what Grimsbane needs to be like; he needs to not only have immense strength but a brilliant tactical mind in order to concur all of LORE!

So here is how he did it: Grimsbane wanted to bring destruction to the Guardians but knew that his forces of undead were not enough to take on the full unified strength of the ENTIRE GUARDIAN ORDER, so he needed to weaken them. First he would put a stranglehold on any monsters or rival villains that would try to stir up trouble for the Guardians and human society, making the people think that the days of villainy were over and the Guardians would relax a little... But not for long!

Then, hiring agents among the humans, he would convince them that the Guardians were no longer necessary to protect the people of Lore, and when the Guardians refused to back down from their stations as... well 'Guardians', the people would revolt and create a civil war among themselves between the Loyalists and Revolutionaries; while all the while not knowing who was masterminding their entire "Revolution". The countries would split apart, taking sides against one another, and slowly beginning to weaken themselves against Grimsbane's eventual assault.

Once he came with his army of undead, no one was prepared, and they had even done most of his job for him. His armies swept in like a current of zombified corpses and wiped out any who stood in their way, and with Grimsbane himself spearheading the assaults on the Towers, there would be NO ESCAPE. The remaining Loyalists and Revolutionaries (who quickly realized their fault) had protected the Last Guardian Tower with all their might, and succeeded. Grimsbane's own army had been severely weakened from all the casualties they had sustained from destroying the other Guardian Towers and slaying their Guardians. He knew his army would not last against these remaining Guardians, and perhaps neither would he.

Grimsbane ordered a tactical retreat, to prevent a catastrophic loss for his army, and for his Other Plans. The remaining Guardians celebrated their victory against Grimsbane and his army, and here is where they shall regroup and restore order to the lands of Lore. They would have to undo the terrible damage that Grimsbane had caused to the people of Lore, the desolation of their homes, the lives that had been taken from them, and the great divides that have separated them. The Guardians must undo all of these horrible crimes Grimsbane had committed. Starting here in this little town...

A town called Battleon.
