Puffball Collective

The Puffball Collective was once part of a greater worldwide Collective. The small faction of the greater Collective which was the Puffball Collective secretly studied arcane magic. Using this magic it summoned a horde of demons called the N’Garai. The N’Garai demons quickly started killing the worldwide Collective and destroying the planet. When the worldwide Collective discovered that the Puffball Collective was responsible for summoning the N’Garai demons, the worldwide Collective exiled the Puffball Collective to the Crossroads instead of killing it, in order for their species to survive.
