Centuries ago, the Combine Empire stretched across every inch of the surface of Norrath.  It was a mighty and powerful society, full of wonder and prosperity, but it was also a divided empire.  Fracturing spread throughout the Combine as over time there were differences in opinion regarding its policies, such as whether or not to allow dark elves into its ranks.  Those who followed Seru were most vocal as they challenged the followers of Tsaph Katta, until it all came to a head when Seru himself attempted to assassinate Katta.  The empire was shattered as war broke out, and the followers of Katta escaped to the moon of Luclin, the forces of Seru chasing them in an attempt to finish them.  When all was finished though, both sides were trapped on the moon as the portals closed and would not open again.

Time has passed, and while their original leaders and settlers have since passed on the descendants of these two factions continue their war.  The followers of Seru live in a maginificent and pristine city of light, though it is a hard rule that watches over them as the Lord Inquisitor makes sure no chaos, crime or darkness, imagined or real, steps into its borders.
