From the beginning of time, there have been two groups eternally at conflict. We all know the tale: good and evil, light and dark, gods and devils. The Disneyverse is no exception to this rule. Even here, there are two sides, locked in conflict, each trying to best the other.
The side of good here is represented by the High Council, headed by Zeus and manned by several heroes and guardians of heroes. They seek the path of light, to guide the civilians of this multiverse into goodness and eternal bliss.
The side of evil is known by most as the Friends on the Other Side. Their leader is Chernabog, a very real devil who, fortunately, cannot enter the mortal world except on Bald Mountain, where he is limited and trapped, unable to face the light of day. Practically every villain ever known to the Disneyverse has received some help from the Friends, and more than a few have lost their souls to them as well.
There is a third side, of course. The innocents, the mortals, caught in the middle of a vast war that they do not even know they are a part of. It is these people who are at risk, for their souls are ultimately what's being fought over.
The short version of this story is that Chernabog needs souls and negative energy to feed his magic, and with enough souls, he will be able to break free from the constraints that keep him limited to Bald Mountain. Then he would waltz over the mortal worlds, effectively taking over the world (of course!). The High Council, naturally, don't want this to happen. So they use their agents to fight those of the Friends, to try and keep a balance between the sides.
Recently, however, Chernabog has been getting impatient. With his discovery of a fourth world (live action Earth) he has become angry and more determined than ever to break free. He has recruited the Jabberwock (once just the Friends guardian of Wonderland) to invade the mortal world, provided Chernabog can maneuver a mortal into summoning him. Once on the mortal plane, the Jabberwock would be able to devour enough souls to set Chernabog free. In the meantime, Chernabog is looking to recruit more soldiers, in order to launch the largest assault ever seen.
Fortunately, Jack Skellington, as a Guardian of Gates, can sometimes catch glimpses and whispers of what's happening on the Other Side. He's caught wind of Chernabog's plot, and has spread the word back to the High Council. Now the Council is summoning up their warriors, preparing a counterattack, and also to try and head off Chernabog's plans.
This increase in activity has even gotten some who are officially neutral in the dispute to step up. You may find some of the faeries, especially the trickster Puck, spinning their webs in an attempt to put a spanner in the works.
All that's left is for you to decide what side you'll be on in this ongoing war. A champion of Light, or an agent of the Dark? A neutral fey, or a hapless mortal? Pick a side, roll the dice, and join us on the most epic adventure the multiverse has ever seen.
