Game Story
--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--
In the beginning there was a chaos. Timeless energies swirled in a great mass
of color and light in the soundlessness of space. Over the millennia the
energies gained substance and began to weave itself into the fabric of what
would one day spell life.
Out of this fabric a thread, an insignificant piece of power disentangled
itself from the mass. While the essence of this thread was one and the same
as the energies which at the very moment were evolving, it changed along a
separate path. It alone gained consciousness.
Time passes...
The consciousness comes awake. At first it wanders around what now has become
a star, so compact has the energies woven itself over the eons. It looks upon
the lifeless star and is touched by his first feeling, sadness.
With his hands outstretched he, Logos, took it upon himself to create life.
For days he shaped what would become the world Carnac. At first he created
the lands, the tallest mountains and the deepest valleys. He then created the
clouds and the sky. He thought he was finished and he was content.
He watched the world from the mountains, reveling in the cools winds that swept
its peak. He touched the clouds and felt a wetness like he had never felt
before, he liked the feeling, the cool wet feeling of water. He tasted it and
was amazed by its purity and how refreshing it was. He thought about this,
and he looked down to the land beneath him. It was dark and dry, and for the
first time he realized that apart from the mountains the world did not look
beautiful, and though the world turned it was not alive. It did not speak, it
did not grow. It would merely spin for eternity, not unlike the energies it
was molded from.
He thought of the moisture in the clouds and remembered the joy he felt in the
experience. He wanted the lands of feel as he felt, he willed the clouds to
rain and so it did. It rained for 49 days and the water carved the rocks,
flooded the valleys and created the ocean. Soon the world was a splendid blue,
like a turquoise jewel hanging in the colorlessness of space. But there must
be those who can experience the splendors of the rivers, oceans and lakes.
The rocks and mountains as Logos had learned were lifeless.
Taking the remaining energies from the clay he did not use to fashion the
mountains he created life. First he created the fishes to swim in the water
he loved so much. Then he planted the trees who would forever favor the
presence of its moisture. Later came the animals then the soaring birds that
further graced the world with life. Lastly came men whom he created in his
likeness, they too had the power to mold the world to suit their needs and the
first seeds of mankind he placed near the great rivers which had been created.
There they would have all they need to prosper.
For a time all was well, Logos now a God was content. And all his creations
rejoiced and prospered in the land bestowed to them. But all was to be undone.
In his haste to create mankind in his own image a piece of clay was left
unused. The clay lay forgotten in the darkest valley of the new world.
There it lay for centuries, waiting for its turn to be molded into something
beautiful. At first it was patient, Logos has a special plan for me it thought
to itself, maybe he has not yet decided what to mold me into. But as with
everything with consciousness its patience waned, and it grew bitter.
Made of the very fabric of the world and instilled with a mind not unlike Logos
himself the forgotten piece of clay willed itself into existence.
Bit by bit it transformed and with each transformation it grew ever more
hateful of being forgotten.
By the time Logos recalled the forgotten piece it was far from too late.
Already an entity which named itself Patos was formed. It rivaled Logos in
power but contained none of the compassion, love and the desire to create as
its counterpart. Instead it longed to twist what Logos had painstakingly
created. As revenge, Patos’ first act of power was to instill change, change
which Logos from the very beginning hated.
From his act came the four seasons, day and night, life and death.
But this wasn’t enough; Patos wanted Logos to experience the pain and
abandonment he felt, taking a handful of sand he infused within every grain
what would be known as the sins of men. Each grain he took and planted into
all of mankind, and with that act men turned away from Logos, the learned
greed, lust and had a desire to dominate and destroy.
It has been sometime since Patos changed the world. But while it wasn't his
intention, by bringing about the distinction between life and death a new
player of this game between the Gods came to being. When there was no death
there was no need to create new life for all endured, this was the vision of
Logos, an enduring world which would retain its splendor for all eternity.
But with the onset of death the fabric of creation shifted, for if those with
life were to die, new life had to take their place. While Logos had the power
to create he did not posses the power to renew, why this is so is not known.
The duty to recreate life from the energies left behind by the dead fell to a
new god, the Goddess of Life, Akara.
Unlike Logos and Patos which interacted little with the world Akara was in
constant contact with every living being. She watched the old wither and
die and she nurtured the young to take their places. She learned to understand
the creatures which inhabited the world, she learned to love them as her own
even though she was not their true creator and they paid her no homage.
Overtime she felt Logos grow ever distant in his grief; she knew that Logos
now neglected his creations for he could bear not the pain of them having been
changed. While she did not fault Logos or Patos, she despaired that life no
longer prospered as it once did under the guidance of the creator.
"Perhaps," she thought, "I should adopt these children as my own."
As fate would have it the petition to claim all of creation as her own was
turned down. Logos feared that he would loose his creations even further.
He promised Akara that he would resume his responsibility; the goddess was
satisfied with this answer and lay the matter to rest. After all, all she
wanted was the world to be cared for, it mattered little to her who claimed
stewardship, though she herself may not realize it, but deep down she wished
she had that honor.
But just as Logos began keeping his promise Patos reemerged. This time he
decided to warp the very first of Logos' creations, the very mountains in
which Logos first felt the winds and touched the clouds. With ease Patos
called up fire from deep within Carnac's core. The pent up forces erupted
through mountain peaks creating fiery craters of molten lava. Horrified at
the destruction of his beloved mountains Logos was slow to stop Patos as he
struck a mighty blow cracking the sides of every volcano causing their
destructive forces to flow unheeded to engulf and ignite all that stood in
its path. Forests and their inhabitants were destroyed, rivers boiled to
nothingness and men standing petrified at the horror unfolding before them
lost their lives.
Generations later, many of the forests that were destroyed Akara regrew.
Animals once again walked the earth in abundance and rivers again flowed as
they once did. Men too recovered their losses and many of the new generation
knew nothing of what their fore fathers experienced. To them the silent
mountains had always spewed fire every so often, and they had learned to be
wary of its captivating beauty. In fact, most had never set foot on a
mountain let alone gazed down at the beautiful world from it, as Logos
once did. Due to this, Logos again retreated into his own despair and cared
not a bit for the world that was no longer his own.
This time Akara was determined to take over Logos’ supposed responsibility.
But she knew he would never give it up easily, for the good of life itself
she conspired to rid the world of the weak hearted Logos and the disruptive
Patos. Unbeknown to the other gods, Akara knew of one other. There was still
the god Cypher, who knew of nothing but destruction and deceit.
It is generally believed that it was Cypher who using methods unknown who
planted the ideas of bringing about destructive changes to Carnac.
For while Patos was responsible for change it was not in his nature to destroy,
many a historian would debate this issue in years to come.
Being told of the existence of Cypher, Logos grew wary and questioned Akara
about this new "god".
"How Cypher came into being is not known to me, but what is certain is that
the power of creation he has not. He cannot weave dust into mountains, change
the rain into snow nor can he bring life into the world. What he can do is
grind the tallest mountain into the finest dust, fire snow into vapor and smite
every living thing. He has the power to destroy, nothing more, nothing less.
It is his power you need to be rid of Patos".
Upon hearing this Logos was elated, he immediately left to seek out this god,
Cypher. Logos had dreams of his world returning to its prior form and did not
see the goddess' faint smile.
~
Once found, Cypher was not the image of power which Logos had envisioned.
He was the anti thesis of magnificence, he looked frail, worn and possessed
none of the aura of the other gods. Regardless, Logos trusted the
Goddess of Life and proceeded to ask for the favor.
Unknown to him, Akara had already approached Cypher and had told him of the
opportunity to destroy their predecessors. "You should kill Patos first",
she had said. "Logos is idealistic and weak, him you can kill at your leisure".
Cypher trusted Akara as well, for the purity of life held no evil and life
after all was her domain.
In preparation to confronting Patos, Logos reached out and drew the clouds
around him. From the clouds he fashioned a blade so beautiful it masked its
deadliness. This blade he gave to Cypher, and together they journeyed to the
deepest valley of Carnac where Patos resided.
At the mouth of the valley stood a massive fortress, strange a god of change
would choose to reside in something so unyielding and unchanging. But as they
approached, Patos stepped out from the shadows. In his hand he brandished a
spear of finest wood, tinged with green. It radiated life itself and there was
a certain calmness to it, the calm of a peaceful forest, there could be only
one who could have created such a weapon.
The one who had warned Patos of the arrival of the other two was now patiently
waiting for what she thought inevitable, the end of Logos, Patos and with luck
Cypher as well.
The battle was swift yet furious, no words were exchanged by the combatants
as Cypher charged, his gleaming sword held high. Patos merely stood blocking
blow after blow with his spear while counter attacking when he could.
Logos merely stood watching the fight unfold, praying that Patos would meet
his end.
Evenly matched the gods turned to their individual powers to given them
an edge. At first Patos swept away the sun and the stars sending the world
into darkness. Cypher already unused to the dark valley found himself ever
more blinded. Patos lunged, his spear grazing the shoulder of his opponent.
Angered, the wounded god rained destruction upon the valley setting all but
the rocks aflame. Recovering his sight and catching Patos totally off guard
as the other stared at his burning fortress, Cypher slashed and severed the
left hand of Patos.
Like thunder Patos screamed in pain as his lifeblood drained out of him.
But while Cypher and Logos looked upon him triumphantly something happened.
Subtle changes occurred within Patos and Cypher, their appearance did not
change but their demeanor, their life force if you will, shattered and reformed
into the image of each other. Patos through some means of magic now resided
in the body of Cypher, whereas the essence of Cypher now lay in the torn body
of the one he had wounded only moments earlier.
Though in pain the spirit of Cypher refused to just die. With a last act of
will he hurled the spear he clutched at his own body, the body that was
stolen from him. Patos who was reflecting upon his own genius managed not to
avoid the spear thrown at him by the Lord of Destruction.
Patos now lay dead, with Cypher about to join him. Cypher grew ever weaker and
with Logos having fled when he called fire down to the valley he was on his
own. It was then when he realized his powers were no longer confined to the
destruction of things but with some effort he could induce change much like
how Patos was renowned for. Focusing his fledgling abilities on his severed
arm he first stopped the blood from flowing. He then pulled at the sinew and
bones making them expand until they eventually took the shape of the missing
limb.
Fully recovered he stood and with new found strength he shouted for all to
hear, "I am reborn, fear me for I am now unmatched!"
As a display of strength he shattered the valley and out of the rubble
fashioned a monument not of stone but of glass. The monument while not
beautiful, with its sharp edges reaching out in all directions was no less
magnificent. Men flocked to marvel at its construction and to pay homage
to its creator, the god Cypher.

The Tale of The Pianna Knights
The fabric of creation is a fragile one. With the changes brought about by
Patos and then the new Patos-Cypher entity Carnac itself began to show gradual
signs of change. At first it was the insignificant changes, the smell of
flowers fading, the seasons being more unpredictable and ground water
occasionally coming up brown, as though rusted. These things men took little
notice of; there was no need for explanations sometimes "just happen".
All these was not Cypher doing however, for he himself was too busy lavishing
in the attention of his new found subjects. Years later humankind had divided
themselves up into the six great kingdoms, war monger Hellsgarem of the
Deserts, Buegrant with its ports and ships of steel, the white city of Arrdeam,
Planisad famous for magnificent harvests, the center of commerce, Brisbia and
finally El Morad on the west coast.
It was around this time when strange creatures began appearing all over Carnac,
at first they were thought to be wolves, bears and others animals whose
intentions could be violent. But they were not, they were different.
And with each passing year their difference just grew and grew, some had
sighted beings of stone, magic and worse of all those who used to be friends,
now resurrected into animated corpses bent on bringing all life to the level
in which they understood, death.
Before long those "hellish creatures" had grown in such numbers that even human
cities with their high walls and staunch defenders could not repel their might.
The first to fall was Planisad thus food resources were scarred. Soon others,
Brisbia and Arrdeam fell. Even the mighty babarian kingdom, Hellsgarem did not
survive, torching their city instead of letting it fall. The few survivors
flocked aboard the ships of the Buegrants who themselves were abandoning their
city, fleeing for El Morad by sea.
King Manes then ruler of El Morad took in the refugee's without prejudice.
Those able were given places in the army, further bolstering the defenses
of the city which had not yet been attacked. New battlements were raised,
and before the attack came supplies were brought in, weapons forged and armor
polished. The citizens of El Morad were determined not to let their city fall
and those who had already fled were resolute in their loyalty to their new
home, for if El Morad fell there was no one else to turn to. The insignificant
El Morad through a turn of events had now become mankind’s last stronghold.
Should it fall, the seeds of humanity would cease to exist.
Having been prepared the defenders repelled what should have crushed them.
After that initial trust random sporadic attacks continued to come.
For seven long years they fought and for seven long years King Manes prayed
to the gods who seemed to have turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to the
sufferings of their children. Though history will tell little beyond their
suffering, our heroes after the first two years of fighting had grown
accustomed to the random attacks. They were even prospering, to a fashion.
They again dared to venture beyond the safety of their walls.
Tunneling into the mountains behind the city they had a source for metals,
wood they harvested by sending armed bands into the forests. Food proved a
problem at first, but by relocating much of the populace into the mountains
and underground, enough space was vacated for crops to be planted.
By the third year seasoned veterans had begun hunting these monsters.
Traveling in small numbers these parties sought out and killed the weaker
creatures and those which had strayed too far from the others.
These warriors brought back stories of adventure and glory. Soon these parties
organized themselves into what would be known as the Pianna Knights.
They lived apart from El Morad and dedicated their lives to their work,
some of them would even learn the arts of magic and healing.
Arts long lost when men gained mortality.
On the last night of the seventh year, something extraordinary occurred,
red rain began to fall over El Morad. Far away a green fog inched ever closer.
A warning had sounded and for the first time in years all had run for the
gates and more than one would admit that they were afraid.
King Manes once again prayed to any who would listen. This time Cypher
answered.
"It is you, for so long I have prayed. Why do you only now answer"?
King Manes asked. The gods had never answered before, and many doubted
their existence.
"There was no need", came the reply.
"Everyday my people die, is there no greater a need"?
"There is no need",
Determined to see salvation the king begged, "You have the power, only will it
and all will be right again, we are but your humble servants".
"Servants are off no consequence, this day I show myself for the end is near.
Though I did not will this destruction, its flatters me to admit that my power
brought its beginning".
The King grew angry, "You may be a God, Cypher. But nothing can not be
brought low". Standing drew his sword and pointed it at the direction of
the voice, "If you will not help us, we shall meet our doom, together".
But Cypher was no longer there.
~
"There must be something we can do", one of the council members said wiping
sweat from his brow, while another beside him tried hard to suppress a yawn.
It was late afternoon and the lords and leaders have been discussing the
matter since the night before, when Cypher appeared.
A Planisadian lord stood and repeated his intent on escaping the encroaching
green fog. None of the scouts had yet returned and he believed it sound to
escape first then reevaluate the situation. It would days to move everyone and
time was already growing short.
"No, we stand and fight, kill Cypher and all should be well again", an overly
bold Erenion sweeping his hand in an arc, nearly knocking over a weary servant
who was refilling his goblet. "We have run enough".
The council was in uproar, it wasn't the first time someone suggested and while
they all knew that was the only solution they were reluctant to fight a god.
"Are you mad"? someone shouted, "Cypher is a GOD"!
"We will stay, but we will not fight",
The room was stunned into silence. To stay but not fight? Then what should
be done? Just die? Surely some believed that the king had finally lost his
senses. Already many had to be persuaded to believe that Cypher truly did
speak to his majesty.
"Send for the Pianna Knights".
~
The Pianna Knights rode through the castle gates amidst the cheers of the
entire populace. Here were the heroes of legend, those who would save them all.
In their newly fashioned armor and polished swords they looked every bit the
story book heroes of old. Not one who saw them believed that they would fail.
Near two hundred strong they rode in search for Cypher. Legend has it that
he had a built a monument of glass centuries ago and that he resided near it,
tended by his early followers who saw to his every need.
Guided by no more than stories told to young children the Pianna Knights rode
into the wilderness away the most obscure of human settlements, which of
course were now nothing more than ruins. In the forests they killed every
creature they encountered, but those were few and far between. It was as
though each and every one of those vile beings had been picked up and stored
away. One may even take a walk in the moonlight and return unharmed.
One night a wave of fatigued washed over them and they each in turn fell asleep
They dreamt of a place near a valley, there were people there. And at first
their semi-conscious selves were elated, for they had thought they were the
last. But as their dreams were guided closer they saw the despair in the
faces of the people, how tired they looked without an ounce of joy in their
souls. But they did not understand, here was a peaceful place and
uncomplicated haven of rainbow colors when light struck the edifice of glass.
Realization dawned upon them, here was the lair of Cypher and those humans
were not his adoring subjects but his slaves. Their consciousness turned
towards the monument, at the foot of it a fortress stood, it was of
dark stone and it absorbed the lights as though it never existed.
They drifted closer, but as they neared the structure they felt rather
than saw a hand reach out and block their view.
The dream ended, but they did not stir till morning.
While the Pianna Knights were troubled by what they had seen they were no
less determined. However, their knowledge was not limited to what they had.
They were being drawn to the west as though they knew there was where they
had to be. And in their minds and hearts rang a verse, a prayer long forgotten:
We are your children,
Though long forgotten,
Do not forsake us.
Towards the west they rode, as quick as the wind, never had they been
inspired so. They rode without stopping for days, neither they nor their
animals felt hunger or exhaustion, they rode until a sight caught their eyes.
An enormous monument which sparkled like a diamond stood miles away.
Even having seen it up-close in their dream did not prepare them for the
magnificence before them. The neighing of one of their horses snapped them
out of their reverie and again they continued.
By dawn the next day they reached what appeared to be an impassable barrier,
the monument just beyond. There was nothing there but the horses refused to
go beyond the invisible line. Even the knights that dismounted found themselves
unable to bring themselves to cross it. It was as though the desire to enter
that "zone" left them the moment they approached. One would account later
that the feeling was akin to one looking at his favorite dish. He knew he
wanted it, but yet opening his mouth, he lost his appetite.
By noon none had passed but the terrain was changing. The forests and grass
which enveloped them dissolved as though nothing more than an illusion.
The ground seemed to dry up leaving nothing but dry earth behind. It dried
so quickly that it began to crack, scarring its smooth surface. Suddenly,
the ground in which held the knights gave in and all fell into the crevice.
Many were injured in that fall and some lost their lives. But most of them
now found themselves in a dark cavern having landed in the middle of a host
of every monster they had ever faced, and some which they have never before
laid eyes on. Standing there so tall as to almost reach the stalactites was
Cypher himself. They did not know him, but they knew they faced whom they
sought.
With the barest of a nod, the Pianna Knights were assaulted from all sides.
They formed a circle of shields, holding back the enemy as best they could
while protecting the injured and the healers within the ring. The knights
were skillful in war craft and they only lost a brother with the felling of
beasts ten times that number. But as the battle wore on their numbers had
dwindled significantly and there seemed to be no end of their tireless foes.
Down to than fewer fifty men, the beasts stopped their assault. They backed
away as Cypher approached, seeing him up close for the first time they saw
what Cypher truly was. Besides his gigantic form he looked little better
than an old man. He wasn't the fierce warrior god all expected him to be.
"Welcome, Knights-Pianna. I see you must be tired", he mocked.
The Knights did not answer, instead those inclined to sword play each picked
a target and rammed them thru. Those gifted in the mystic arts opened
themselves up the their powers and fire and lightning scorched all those
who stood in their path. So fierce was the attack that Cypher could only
watch as the few hundred beasts he had left were killed mercilessly.
More men were lost but it was all over, not a single creature stood standing,
and those that still lived lay bleeding on the blood soaked cavern floor.
They circled Cypher, but to defeat a god by sheer physical strength and the
little magic they could command was sheer folly. Cypher knew this and he
was unafraid. Already the corpses of the fallen were stirring. Soon they
would rise again, but would remember no face be it friend or brother.
As the very first of the zombies closed his hardening fingers on a fallen
sword words of fire burned in the minds of the survivors. Without knowing
the reason, they began chanting the prayer which had come to them before.
We are your children,
Though long forgotten,
Do not forsake us.
More and more of their fallen brethren were standing and rearming themselves.
Never in their lives had the Pianna Knights felt such fear while feeling
such hope. They continued.
We are your children,
Though long forgotten,
Do not forsake us.
Louder and louder the words echoed through the cavern, resounding of the
ancient walls and reverberating off the shivering stalactites. More verses
came out of their mouths.
We are one again with you,
You can hear us,
Listen to our plea.
Cypher unheeding their pitiful prayer flared his powers, the ceiling began to
collapse on our heroes and more than one was crushed by the falling granite.
Yes they stood unwavering.
It is the end,
We wish to return,
Welcome us home.
Like lighting there was a flash of light as something streaked from the heavens
Logos, the God Creator lifting his mighty bow had let fly a bolt of energy
fueled by the long prayers of salvation from generations past to present.
The bolt pierced the clouds, the cavern ceiling and struck the startled
Cypher above the shoulders. In a brilliance that would have blind all that
had not the blessing of Logos, Cypher was no more. Only his final cry for
vengeance vibrated softly on the walls.
Another voice more subdued but so clear and so full of love said.
"Welcome home".

Abandoned Once More
With the defeat of Cypher the green fog lifted and the jubilant Pianna Knights
rode home to find the whole of El Morad in celebration awaiting their return.
Tales of their adventures spread quickly among the people of El Morad and very
soon shrines and temples dedicated to the god Logos were raised in his honor.
Humanity began to prosper once again and for a time not one remembered that
Cypher vowed revenge.
Now that peace reigned many began to venture out of the city, at first little
farms sprang up just beyond the scarred walls and battlements that once
protected them, soon plantations growing crops of every kind and villages to
support the farming community mushroomed along side them. With the blessings
of Logos all prospered.
But peace was not to last long in the land of El Morad.
Twenty years has now passed since the defeat of Cypher, and El Morad has
become the capital of humanity. Gone are the makeshift houses and simple
establishments that served the defenders during their bitter struggle.
With the advent of peace and new found prosperity, beautiful boulevards and
magnificent sculptures raised in remembrance of those who gave their lives
during the "dark times" filled the newly constructed and expanded walls.
Many new towns and villages graced the countryside. While the villagers
pledged their loyalty to the crown those who roamed the highways did not.
Wealth brought about greed and bands of brigands preyed on the trade routes
and hijacked many a caravan foolish enough to travel unguarded. While King
Manes still lived these incidents were few and far between and all in all
his citizens were content.
~
Paul set on an empty wheelbarrow as he watched the commotion around him.
The king had just passed, having died suddenly in his sleep. Many believed
it was old age but some weren't too sure. It was a popular rumor that the
council of lords were eager to take command seeing that King Manes had no
heir. Either way the villagers were taking no chances and were preparing
rations and packing up daily necessities in case the latter was true.
Violent changes in establishment very often had equally violent consequences
on lower society.
Being only nine years of age Paul did not understand most of what was
happening but he reveled in the excitement of it all. There was sound of
riders approaching and a woman, probably his mother scooped up the nine
year old and taking him ran to the basement under their home to hide.
The riders may be friendly as was usually the case but no one was taking
any chances. Only the men, all armed stood in the village square to receive
the riders. They turned out to be soldiers from the city, here to officially
proclaim the king as dead and the council taking command. These riders were
friendly but soon it would not be so.
The Council was in power not yet a year when taxes were raised and large
portions of the army were retired. Without sufficient protection bandits
grew braver and even caravans running under guard were often attacked.
Those who could not afford guards or mercenaries were at the mercy of the
goddess of luck, if there was such a god.
While peace was still largely kept it was obvious that it was deteriorating.
Besides the rise in highwaymen the common populace also felt less inclined to
be cooperative with one another and especially with ranking officials,
whom made unreasonable demands while doing next to nothing to ease the
troubles of the common folk. Petty in discrepancies became full blown
squabbles and more than once a person of rank found himself dead and the
perpetrator hauled off to the gallows.
Over the years Paul grew up just like any other boy, thin and of average
height and just like all boys his age he had often listened to the soldier's
talk of heroic battles and awesome adventures. Now that he was of an age to
take up a profession, he hoped he would be accepted into the ranks of recruits
and one day win glory for himself just like the soldiers in the stories.
He imagined himself one day sitting under the village cherry tree telling
children of his great tales and adventures in much the same way he used to
listen.
Full of hope he wrote down his name on the log book used for such matters,
it already contained countless names of those who had visions such as he.
Signing his name he took one last look at the book and walked out of the
army registrar's office. Now he only had to wait for the summons.
~
"All of you are called to serve your people, you will serve until you are no
longer needed or until you die", the herald intoned the call traditionally
used to call civilians to take up arms for the good of their country.
"Do you accept this call"? he asked looking over those assembled before him.
A loud shout of agreement confirmed their acceptance and Paul, standing
behind everyone else felt the surge of emotions as all gathered took the
first step towards a life of daring and adventure.
That was so long ago.
Paul snapped out of his reverie as prisoner began clanging his metal cup
against the bars which held him. The prisoner indicated he was thirsty, and
though it was not allowed Paul took the cup and walked towards the back of
the room which housed the many cells. He was only allowed to get them water,
but walking up towards a keg he filled the cup with ale reserved for those
who were to have their last meal. It was a small gesture but the prisoner
took the cup, he did not speak but his eyes showed how thankful he was.
"The prisoner" as Paul thought of the man he was keeping an eye on was nothing
like the hardened criminals in the next room. He may look ragged and dirty
but his features did not possess the mean streak common among the thieves
and murderers. He was just a poor shepherd who was a few months back on his
taxes. There was a time when the law was more lenient towards those such as he.
Inside the merchant's quarter a large crowd had gathered to protest against
the taxes which increased significantly every year. The taxes could be
tolerated if the leaders did something to curtail the rampant rise in bandit
activity on what was called the traders "highway". Many had begun whispering
that greedy officials were actually masterminding the bandit activity and
that some of the bandits may even be soldiers in disguise. This however was
unlikely since there would be more money to be made through taxation rather
than the utter ruination of the livelihood of the merchants. But either way
it was ready fuel for the already raging emotions and many were inclined to
believe it just because they wanted to.
As the crowd grew, drawing in both supporters and those curious enough to
stick around soldiers were dispatched to break up what was slowly turning
into a violent mob.
The next morning there was no market. The entire space was taken up by what
would be the first public execution in the history of El Morad.
The executioners were masked men clad totally in black if not for their green
tabards marking them as members of the council's newly formed secret police.
It was their unit that had so efficiently caught and convicted the masterminds
behind yesterday's demonstration. The secret police had the power to judge any
man guilty on the grounds that he may be a threat to the peace.
Those gathered around the raised platform stood in silence as the "guilty" were
brought forward and their crimes announced. A total of twenty men stood on the
platform awaiting their fate. Some showed fear and not a few openly wept.
But most of them stood silently standing proud and erect as their last act of
defiance. Once their crimes were read they were unceremoniously beheaded, one
by one. The crowd was shocked but many seethed with long pent up anger.
~
Flame engulfed the center most portion of the city. Citizens ran in all
directions as armed men advanced towards the Center Precinct where many council
members and those in support of the rulers resided. The center of the city also
housed the wealthiest and the most influential men in the city. These were the
ones the raiders were aiming for, those who had been not only unjust, but
greedy and corrupt. The raiders numbering many times the number of city guards
and soldiers stormed through the streets chasing down and butchering all those
who had oppressed them. No one saved the soldiers stood in their path, for in
truth there were no men left. All not sworn to defend El Morad were among the
rebels.
Civil war had begun.
The wars did not last long, but many who found themselves on the wrong side
died. Paul was among the casualties, the idealistic young man who was forced
by circumstance to fight his countrymen. He was killed at the doors to the
council chamber, the last barrier between the council and the revolutionists.
If that victory spelled long awaited peace Logos would have been pleased,
but as hard as he tried to think otherwise he knew that his sons and daughters
were forever changed by Cypher all those years ago. When the old council fell
all rejoiced but many outlying towns took the opportunity to declare
independence, never again did they want to bear the yoke of being ruled.
But when the new council or "The Just" as they fashioned themselves to be
called consolidated their power they to were unable to give in to human
nature. They wanted control and had effectively convinced themselves that a
united race, united by any means, was to the benefit of all. Thus conquest
began.
~
A presence hovers over a small village. It surveys the surroundings;
no more than a hundred live here. They have a mill to grind the wheat and an
inn for the weary to have a drink or the have a game of dice, this was all
they had. The presence pauses, and looks down at a crowd gathered.
The crowd were made up mostly of men, they were armed and many were veterans,
the revolution being hardly a year ago. But when the newly formed cavalry
charged through their ranks every lance found a target. These men some were
old soldiers of the previous regime and many were highway bandits now in
the employ of the city. They excelled at fighting from horseback as they
would have done when they hijacked caravans. Facing men of such caliber
the defenders did not stand a chance. As an example to the others, not one
who stood their ground was spared.
The presence rose higher and higher until the blood soaked ground was
nothing more than a pinprick below the clouds. This time the presence
vowed never to return.
More destruction followed but fearing for their lives and families
most re-pledged their loyalty with minimal resistance.
While the human race was once again united albeit through force of arms,
life began to return to normal. But Logos had given up on humanity once
and for all and without his presence and power of Cypher's long forgotten
curse began its' strangle hold on humanity. But it would be a generation
before the first noticeable signs of the curse took hold and before then
a new race would come into being, the Elves.

The Legend of the Elves
Let me tell you about the elves. The Elves never were part of the human world.
While they resembled us in many ways, they are taller, leaner but most
importantly they are immortal or so it is claimed. It's believed that they
were created by Logos when finally turned his back on humanity which he
viewed as incorrigible.
It is also believed that the Elves whose image was modeled after humankind
lived in very much the same way as did our ancestors. They lived simple lives
hunting, gathering and farming. The only difference was that they preferred
to live the dense forests of Carnac rather than the wide open plains favored
by their cousins.
While real, Elven kind hovers between myth and legend within the tomes of
human understanding. Only a few have ever chanced on meeting an elf for their
forest home is well protected by Logos and none knows of its location.
Some even believe that the forest "El Lura Lastach" or "the forest where
the Elves sing" exists not on El Morad but somewhere between reality and
inexistence. In layman's terms the forest resides on Carnac, yet it does not.
There are many theories regarding this phenomena but this concerns the realm
of priests and wizards not those who are more interested in listening to a
good story told.
These remarkable creatures are again divided into two groups or so legend
tells. The Iladhel and the Vladhel. The Iladhel are their spell casters,
our own wizards believe them weak for they only delve in the power of nature.
But weak they are not, our magic users have obviously never experienced a
year without winter and yet the forests of the Elves remain in perpetual
spring.
The latter are akin to what we understand as rangers. They're tracking
skills are unmatched and darkness do not impair their sight. They use long
bows of the like we have never seen. Their bows measure a height of a man
and their bolts can hit a target at 300 yards.
It is also believed that the Elves live in harmony singing and dancing
throughout the night not having a care in the world.
Not much more is known about these eternal beings and some of what we do
know may even be tall tales spun for the amusement of little children.
But perhaps one day, we will know more about those who are different, yet
not so different from the rest of us.

The Imperial Chronicles – Prologue
The Prophesy of the Crown
Life was tough even before the Plague. But the coming of the Plague heralded
a suffering never before experienced by the inhabitants of Carnac.
In a distant village, the local apothecary tried his best to find a cure.
All his efforts were in vain and no matter what combination of herbs and
plants he used, he could not find a suitable cure. All he could do was ease
the suffering of those afflicted, and there were many who were.
“Dignar,” a voice suddenly called out.
The apothecary turned his head to see who had called his name. It was Bero,
one of the village youths. The clan chief had placed much trust in him and
there was talk he was likeliest to be the next chief.
“We have need of your wisdom, Dignar,” Bero called again.
Dignar turned back to the patient he was attending then let out a sigh.
There was not much hope left for the patient. The plague had already taken
the patient’s wife and children; even if he did not get afflicted, he would
have died of heartbreak anyway. No will remaining, there was only one fate
left to the patient--death.
“I’m coming, Bero,” Dignar sighed. “I’m coming.”
The clan chief was conferring with the Seer when both Bero and Dignar
walked in.
“Ah, Dignar, finally,” the chief boomed. “The Seer here has unsettling news…”
“…Quite unsettling,” interjected the Seer.
“Quiet, you,” the chief boomed back.
“Apologies, m’lord,” cowered the Seer.
“As I was saying,” the chief continued, “It seems that our rival nation Karus
has increased their threat to us somewhat by forming a Council of their most
powerful clans.”
“What!” Bero was taken aback. “Now that they are united, they can wipe us out
anytime they want to!”
“Now, now, Bero,” Dignar spoke. “Don’t let us be rash with words just yet.
When the plague was at its peak and our numbers were lessened, we joined the
stronger clans for protection and they in turn joined even more stronger clans.
Our union protects everyone of ElMorad descent. I believe we are safe still
from Karus.”
“Indeed, that may be true,” the chief spoke again. “The Seer informs me that
the leaders of the other clans plan to form our own Council to combat any
advances made by Karus.”
“That sounds like a good plan,” said Bero.
“We must be wary,” warned Dignar. “We all know how our clan leaders love to
engage in petty in-fighting. An ElMorad Council may even make things worse.”
“We don’t know that, Dignar,” the chief said. “Right now, this sounds like
the best plan we have.”
“There’s more,” the Seer cackled. “I have seen someone mighty, a ruler, a
king--a king destined to emerge and lead the nation to victory.”
“I hope this bodes well in such times of trouble,” said the chief.
“Well, someone leading us and uniting us will come in handy,” said Bero.
“We shall see,” said Dignar. “We shall see.”
* * *
Carnac was in a time of great distress. A mysterious plague, a fast-spreading
and destructive one, scoured the lands and inflicted the many. As the populace
dwindled more and more each day, many clans rose to the occasion and swiftly
took advantage of the weakening populace by taking over each nations’ political
system.
Lesser clans, sometimes by choice, sometimes not were absorbed into bigger and
more powerful ones for protection. As the clans grew bigger and stronger,
they began to fight more and more until the battles became a power struggle
for supremacy. This was the beginning of the Era of Monarchy, an age where
everyone had to bow down to the power of the stronger clans… or face the
penalty of death.
The most powerful clans of Karus were the first to form a Council as it was in
their young blood for obedience. The formation of such a grand Council scared
the clans of ElMorad and they in turned planned to form a Council of their own.
Councils were formed but many failed. But the clans still had unresolved
issues with each other and many petty issues were fought over resulting in
the dissolving of the Council.
It is foretold by many seers and fortune tellers that by the second moon of
this year, a destined King will appear and he will lead his nation to victory.
The prophecy soon came to be true for both nations.
The Imperial Chronicles
--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--
Imperial Chronicles I
The Shinobi War
It was foretold by the seers of the land that a mighty King would appear and
lead a nation to victory. The great prophecy spread through both the great
nations of Karus and ElMorad and many people, believing the prophecy to be
true, awaited eagerly for their King and saviour to come.
But the prophecy served to fuel the doubts of the Council members of each
nation towards each other. Jealousy and doubt was rife within each nations’
Council and the members began to plot against each other.
Thus began the Era of Corruption and Assassination.
Due to the sudden need for skilled assassins, masters of such a deadly craft
soon appeared from lands far away as if answering a call.
These “Shinobi Masters”, as they were called, were soon put to the task of
training an elite group of assassins, a group of rogues whom later became
known as the “Shinobi Knights”.
The Shinobi Knights were trained so rigorously, they soon mastered the art
of deadly strikes as well as greatly enhancing the use of stealth attacks,
fire arrows and poison arrows.
The Shinobi Masters also kept with them a secret. It is said that they possess
a sacred scroll, a parchment containing a secret that unleashes a power hidden
inside the soul of a Shinobi. Many have sought to obtain this secret,
many have failed.
One night, as they were studying the stars, Bero asked the wise and venerable
Dignar what he knew of the secrets of the Shinobi.
“Dear Dignar, I seem to recall that you promised me you would tell me what
you know of the Shinobi,” persuaded Bero, the newly appointed clan chief.
“Harumph,” grunted Dignar. “Very well, you impatient youth.”
Dignar let his gaze remain upwards.
Then he spoke, “Shinobi Gems are required to persuade those wily
Shinobi Masters into handing over the Attack Power Scroll.”
“The Attack Power Scroll?” asked Bero.
“You remember. It is the scroll that contains the Shinobi Masters’ secret
for unleashing the soul’s hidden power,” continued Dignar.
“Ah yes…” pondered Bero. “Sounds simple, really”
“Oh you think so, do you?” Dignar shot back, before he let out a hearty laugh.

to encrypt the transmission of login and password information between
your browser and our Web server. If you are behind a corporate firewall
configured to block SSL traffic on port 443, the standard port for secure
http (https) service, you will not be able to complete the authentication
process and log-in to play the game. If this is your problem and your
network administrator opens access for port 443, you should be able to
authenticate.
Authentication problems can also be caused if you are using a proxy that
is setup for http connections instead of https connections.
