Aeon of the Champion (series)

Aeon of the Champion (referred to as AoC, or the AoC Universe in the context of a story series or other fanfiction works), is a new story series created by Smurf Manian (who coincidentally appears in his own stories. How sad.) The Universe's literature is divided into several individual series, detailing various aspects of the Champion and his quest against the dark forces haunting Middle-Earth.

''This is relevant to the Smurfs, guys. You'll learn how later.''

Plot
Middle-Earth (referred to as The World for the most part) is under perpetual siege by the fallen archangel Sargamon and his demonic hordes, his aim being to recover the cosmic keystones used to forge a legendary magical staff in order to turn himself into an unstoppable titan monstrosity. Ordering his demon underlings to all corners of the Universe, planet after planet has been set aflame by the all-consuming powers of the Blazing Legions, but it is Middle-Earth that is of most interest to the dark lord, for it is the planet containing these keystones. Several times, Sargamon has attempted to enter Middle-Earth or otherwise corrupt it in order to retrieve the stones, only foiled by the combined efforts of The World's greatest heroes.

With his last plot ending in near-catastrophe, the time for action, not reaction, is now. A Champion must respond to the distressed cries of the Earthmother, taking on the impossible burden of seeking out the stones, reforging them into the long-lost staff, and using them to terminate the demonic threat before Sargamon finds them first. All manner of races - elves, humans, orc, trolls, smurfs and giants - are involved in the grand struggles of Middle-Earth, and only time will tell whether the shadow of darkness will finally prevail, spelling the end for all Creation.

Trivia

 * AoC takes inspiration from several fictional works including World of Warcraft and Diablo (all three of them, actually.) For instance, Sargamon is inspired by Sargeras from Warcraft, as both of them are fallen celestials who betrayed their fellow gods and later destroyed them. The story also features an ongoing clash between Heaven and Hell, the main theme of Diablo (with Sargamon again representing the Prime Evil - both Tathamet and Diablo.)
 * The story series is one of the few on the Wiki without a major emphasis on the Smurfs, instead focusing on a worldwide view of the ongoing struggle.
