The story behind Chaos Reborn is both tragic and interesting. Once upon a time, gods had made a very important promise. One guaranteeing both power and immortality through magic. But humanity took advantage of the gift and let their world plummet into a dark place filled with greed and, most of all, chaos. Monsters entered the picture and gods created Wizard Kings to control what the humans know and understand of magic. (Read More)

While most of Ireland went about their business as usual on March 17th, many parts of the world decided to paint themselves green and drink several pints of the black stuff to commemorate the man who drove the snakes from the Emerald Isle.
