Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
There are those who claim that the Truth is to be found amongst the stars.
There are those who seek the Answers from the dark caverns and neverending tunnels. There are those who see what is around us and claim that it is all there is. They are all correct. And, every one of them, so wrong. As you cannot tell what a diamond is by looking a single facet, it is impossible to determine the Fate of the world by just looking at one part of it. Thus, with signs of coming dark times clearly visible to everyone, a conclave was held. The astrologers who had read the stars met with strange mystics of deep caves and all-seeing priestesses to finally delve the name of the True God To Be. And the name of that god was Kasadye, and He was to be known as Commander of Truth, Fiend of the Wounding Spear, the Teacher of Philosophy, God of Flames and by many, many other names. (Of course, there was this one mystic who kept claiming that the world is shaped like a doughnut, but he's been doing that "mystic's cave" thing for far too long now, so please don't mind him) Once more the hoplites don their armour, charioteers sharpen their scythes and animal handlers train elephants. Arcoscephale is ready for the coming war. Woe to her enemies. |

"It's time!" whispered a dark mysterious voice out from the shadows. Only two huge red reptile eyes lurking from the blurred darkness could tell where the thundering sound came from before it shattered on the moss covered walls and echoed through the dark halls of the ancient C'tis temple. "Yesss, my godnesss!" replied Uzim a novice priest of the Swamp temple. "Everything isss ready for your arravial!" hissed Uzim nervously while bowing honourable. "Gooood!" trample the mysterious voice through the halls...

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
Tai-sui-xing, most exalted Minister of Rituals, led a grand procession though the winding streets of the Celestial City. The throngs of the people, dressed in their most splendid clothes, who lined the route were unaware of the doubts and anxieties that troubled the Minister, for as always his coutenance was serene, his posture erect, and he radiated the confidence befitting one who had risen through the ranks of the adminstration of the Middle Kingdom to the very pinnacle of power.
"All must go perfectly today" he thought to himself. "Nothing must mar the re-dedication of the Jade Palace, or my ancestors will curse my name, and my shame will be eternal." He paused in his reflections to deliver a blessing to a portion of the crowd whose celebrations seemed even more joyous than the rest, for even in the midst of doubt, he was aware of his responsibilites and his place in the Empire, and he knew that those whom he blessed would not forget the honor. "The rebuilding of the city and of the Palace after the Great Earthquake has gone as well as could be hoped" he thought as he went on, and all the vast procession resumed its stately pace behind him. "Still, who knows if there is not some hidden flaw in the way the Palace is situated or in its form? But considering what I paid to the masters of Feng Shui, there must not be. If there is, I will have their tounges torn out." With this somehow satisfying thought, he and the procession reached the gates of the Palace, and he delivered the sermon he had been writing for the past three months. Long had he labored upon it, for he must weave together many themes celebrating the history of the Middle Kingdom, praising the labors undertaken by all the people in the rebuilding of the city, and most importantly, reflecting the hope that Yu-huang, the Jade Emperor, would find all their efforts pleasing, and would return to them. His long training served him well, and he delivered his sermon flawlessly, and he could see respect even in the faces of the Imperial Consorts and Eunuchs who stood near, and who had heard many sermons. It was time now to enter the enter the building, and cut the ribbon which would mark the re-dedication of the Jade Palace, and complete the ceremony. He was handed the Jade Knife, for long a symbol of authority within the kingdom, and even as he severed the ribbon with a single sweeping stroke, a voice spoke from the Dragon Throne behind him. "Thou hast done well, Tai-sui-xing, and all my people, and I am well pleased. I shall this day make you Tu-di of the Celestial City, and your name shall live forever in honor". And Tai-sui-xing whirled about, and on his face was awe, for the throne was not empty, and Yu-huang, the Jade Emperor, Lord of the Stellar Lights, God of Near and Close, Commander of Truth had returned! |

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
There was a time in the past when the world was covered in snow and ice. The mighty giants have ruled the world then. But ages passed, the enthropy have grown and as the world was getting more and more like raging inferno, the power of giants diminished as they have diminished themselves. Man and other nations have emerged in the hot areas and started to grow and expand. Only in the small areas covered with glaciers the giants were still living. But now, the new God have arrived and the God united the giants to lead them in the final battle against the enthropy.

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
And in the Spring of the first year of His reign, Arch-Arachn-General Tacticus sent his thought to distants lands, seeking valliant souls to advance His cause.
And it came that He uttered those memorable words : "O Goodies ! Elephants !" Which were duly noted in the Divine Scripture for the edification of later generations... The text, however, was slightly edited a few years later, and came to read : And the God said : "Let the Desert bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life" and from the Desert the great beasts came, and the God named them Elephants, and they served Him and they worshiped Him. That text was preserved in the Apocryphs of Haulf the apostat. The official Version of the Words of the Arachn make no mention of elephants whatsoever...

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
The Beginning of the Scouring
The murmurs died down as Aeschines raised his hand, restless whispers were muted as the grand orator spoke once more. "Thus it was that Zenophon gathered the legions of the past and set them to scouring the land surrounding the black citadel for what he called 'the source'. Suleiman, Judge of the Fourth Circut commanded the legions and they spread across the land as a plague. Hamlets and hovels were torn and burned while the land sickened and died under that march while animals fled from the corrupting land. The echoes of hollow metal rung loud as church bells at the tide of the past and Zenophon laughed. As Suleiman reached the borders of the land he was approached by an emmissary. A native dressed in brightly colored feathers and furs stepped nervously to the cold calm of the Judge. "I ... I bring word from Hannibal, War Chief of the Two Tusk clan. Outsiders you are, as many before. He offers the strength of the Two Tusk clan in trade." So it was that the native as taken by Suleiman under pain of death to the black citadel and brought before the icy halls of Zenophon. There the native spoke again his offer, though he was but a whisper in that place and Zenophon studied the man. "You may tell your War Chief this, I will spare his village the anguish of long death if he brings his men to my call. If not, his people will suffer where he does not." And the native trembled and fled, the cold grip of death not far behind chasing him from the land and to his War Chief. And it came to pass that Hannibal fled the terror of my Emperor and found solace in the hands of the giantkin. Suleiman marked his judgement as death on the great scales and vowed that if ever in his grip, the War Chief would regret his choice of his skin over his people. Thus Suleiman was sent to the native village and it was claimed and pillaged, it's blood fed to the earth and not a single soul was spared. And still the source evaded Zenophon and his ire was greatened." [ January 20, 2004, 06:28: Message edited by: Zen ] |
Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
In the first month of The Ascension Wars Queen Fyllia has gathered Jotun leaders to hold a council. Day and night the talk was going, this plan and that were considered and finally Mimer the Scout was announced a prophet. Fres the Herse was sent to go over the land of Jotuns gathering people and gold. And was his success of heroic proportions. On the same day Queen Fyllia requested to find and bring to the army the furry beasts of immensed size. And went scouts all over the land of Jotun looking for the Mammoths. But Mammoths were no more. And were coming scouts one after another to report their failure. And would all efforts fail if not for Hgne the Joker who has recruited a bunch of elephants and covered them in wolf skins.

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
Pug descended into the mountain, past the armories into the Great Forge. An empty pedestal stood in the center, surrounded by a grand display of the finest metal-working tools he had ever seen. It was time. He placed his anvil upon the pedestal and gathered up the metals and gems of earth with which to create his blade. A month it took, of heavy fires, poundings and quenchings - and when he was done he raised up his sword, Shard, and declared it good.

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
In the second month of The Ascension Wars the newly acquired mammoths started getting sick and that's when Hgne's trick came out. So it was decided to send elephants immediately in a search of warmer lands with a mission to recruite new subjects for the Queen Fyllia. The path was hard and broken and it was a long while until the group has arrived in the valley high in the mountains. There they witnessed the horrible picture of a band of undead terrifying the small local village. In the glorious battle Jotun army triumphed over the undead and all 520 grateful villagers decided to subject themselves to the rule of Queen Fyllia. Thus, the quest for glory has begun.

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
Word travels fast among practitioners of the Arcane. When Yu-huang let it be known that he would open the Heavenly Gate so that adepts of barbarian race might learn the Way, the response was so quick that it could only be called magical. Obscuro, the Hidden Master, revealed himself before the Gate, and was admitted. Soon an old man alone upon a donkey was seen riding toward the Celestial City. This proved to be none other than Dagan, the Renegade Sage. From what land he had come he would not say, but he too sought admittance to the Heavenly Gate, and it was granted. He came not only to learn, but also to teach. Woe to those who would challenge the ascendency of Yu-huang, for the lore of T'ien C'hi grows by the day, and they shall meet adepts of power, that will scatter their armies like chaff in the wind!

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
In the first weeks of His reign Commander of Truth surveyed the spreading of His worship with joy. Inhabitants of provinces all around the great city of Arcoscephale began worshipping Him and even the land reformed to His image. Yet there was a place nearby whose inhabitants hadn't seen the light. This must not be, decided Kasadye and set forth to enlighten the inhabitants of Kratas about the True God To Be.
Unlike others claiming the divine throne, Kasadye did not hide behind tall walls or in ancient forges. He was in the spearhead of the first of Arcoscephaelian conquests, and the world trembled before His might. As soon as the people of Kratas saw His true might they became one of the most fervent followers of the Teacher of Philosophy. And the glorious victory was not left unnoticed by the world as a whole. Now Kasadye stands grandest among leaders of any fame and people inspired by His example flock to fight for Arcoscephale. One of the most noteworthy of these is Anthromachus the Hero, whose previous deeds are known thorought the land. The first signs of foreign pretenders are seen, an omnious dominion spreading in the northern lands. As it is, the newly appointed prophet-priestess Anemoreia was assigned a squad of warriors and sent to investigare whether the nearby pretender was a dire threat. |

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
The Beginning of the Scouring (Part 2)
"Thus it was that in his ire Zenophon rose and left his citadel. The trickle of power flowing in the land did little to sate his thirst and he went abroad. The land cried out under his step and where his hand touched the earth bled. Far and wide did his travels take him. Land after land he traveled. Behind him a mound of dead rose and his grip strengthened. Men, women and children fled his coming and his wrath was great as that power evaded him. Servants clothed in black found and spoke secret whispers within his ears of the natives that surrounded these lands. Many things did they speak and Zenophon grew pensive. "Perhaps these others, these pretenders know of the land and it's places of power" And so Messages were given, tied to the ribs of loyal couriers and delivered were his inquiries. Much was learned and it was in a land of pure and plenty that Zenophon recieved word of Suleiman. The loyal Judge had as directed marched on the lands surrounding the Black Citadel and too, found nothing of this power his Emperor had so desired. Plague followed each step of the evergrowing legion and captured painbearers spoke softly of the land and sea surrounding. Ever watching the eyes of the Underworld turned towards Zenophon. Memories stirred and some wished to taste the power of the past with time unchained and canted the long oaths of loyalty and Zenophon was pleased." |

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
Mardagg,the allmighty leader of the daemonic Abysian Nation,was not surprised as the news from the southern border reached him.
The first neighbour has been discovered,an official border has been established by the other pretender. Rumors of a small but very strong army,lead by a powerful pretender,spread throughout the nation. The people of Abysia only showed respect to the fiercest and strongest warriors.And this being the reason why Mardagg became their leader,the inhabitants now also showed respect to their new neighbour. Therefore peace was an option,as long as the friend/enemy/neutral neigbour would not dare to expand further to the north or,even worse,to the northwest. The first bunch of provinces had been taken without a single loss,the military strength as well as the economy could be considered as very good,therefore Abysia would also be ready for war,if forced to. **to my new neigbour: my email is the one from AOL. I would be very happy to get a mail from you,before its too late for diplomacy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |

While Pug was in the field chopping off barbarian heads and generally having a good time, his senior advisors were meeting:
"He is too reckless, we must counsel him to stay at..." "He is our Master! Who shall dare counsel against him?" "But there is no support. Perhaps he triumphs against weak foes, but the reports say the next land he wants to try is..." The chamberlain approaches, "Pardon my Lords, but there is a mercenary named Magnus at the door of the keep. He requests audience." The advisors looked around the table at one another shrewdly. Then the senior advisor turned to the chamberlain, "Oh yes, show him in. By all means show him in!" |

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
Months followed each other and hot summer turned to fall. During these times Arcoscephaelian empire grew without bounds, led by its valiant Pretender God. But as His empire grew, Kasadye saw that He had to sacrifice more and more of His time to listen to the reports that just kept coming. Maybe it was best, for in the prevous' months skirmish He had suffered an unlucky wound that still taxed His immense strenght. This had been only expected, for glory is not bought cheaply, and Priestesses well versed in the healing arts had already been called for.
Mystics had probed many provinces for ancient sites, yet none had been found. This was unfortunate, but there would be many more to search. Meanwhile, scouts brought reports of Arcoscephale's neighbours, one after another. The scouts told of groves of Pangaea, not so well hidden as the woodland creatures would hope, pinched between impassable mountains and vast seas in one direction. They also had found out that Man had already begun building temples in their coastal provinces. And between those nations, the undead hordes of Ermor advanced. Soon there would be no more provinces to expand, and the all-out war would be sure to start. But that would be a worry for coming months, not now, decided Kasadye and ordered yet another attack on a province led by some local rabble. |
Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
The trek over the mountains was long and hard, but villagers were eagerly meeting emissaries from Jotunheim and joining the growing empire. Finally, the mountains has ended and Jotun party has descended on a fertile and densely inhabited plains. People were meeting Jotuns cheerfully, but no amount of persuasion could convince them to abandon their old gods and join the glorious kingdom of Queen Fyllia. Finally, the party had to go back home. Over the strenous trek back over the mountains all elephants have perished, but the giants made it home safely. Meanwhile, the rumours have been coming of a land inhabited by very warlike barbarians, just across the straits. The army had been assembled promptly and send there to bring the order and wise rule in those lands.

Trudging along the plains, the Elephant advanced. Patting its neck, Hannibal encouraged him: “Just a little farther, we’re almost there”.
They came at Last to the warm lands of the Machaka. Hannibal was promptly led to the Great God himself, and kneeled reverently. “Great God, I beg you to find a place for my poor elephant in your warm lands. The evil Jotuns tricked us, and all his brothers died in the snow. Gladly will we fight for you in your warm lands” And the God acquiesced. “You have erred, O my servant, but now your are back, and we will find you a place. And the evil Jotuns shall be punished, indeed, I have prepared a deadly trap for them. Should they attack, they will find themselves quickly taken by deadly diseases.” Just as he was saying this, a messenger rushed in, and panting, delivered his message : “My Lord, the Jotuns attack !” And the God said to Hannibal : “Go and find my commander. Tell him to begin plan J” And so it was done… |

Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
After converting the barbarians into the true faith, our party kept advancing along the coast. The land went down and down, the fine evergreen forests have gradually changed into oaks and maples which in their turn got replaced by rain forests. Tremendous heat and foul vapors started to take their toll. For months our party has not met a living soul and finally Tjodvig the Jarl stopped, turned to ice peaks on the left, looked at the thousand feet cliffs mounting behind the forest and then he told to his soldiers: "We are going up before the heat kills us. Many would say that the climb is impossible, but we'll do it!"
Few weeks have passed and though the climb was hard, Jotuns feel invigorated and the spirits were rising. But as they reached the final vertical wall they saw few strange warriors throwing stones at them. Being at such disadvantegous position Tjodvig has commanded retreat. A council has been taken and it was decided to continue along the high ridge running parallel to the seashore. After the long travel the ridge went on decline, and the land became more habitable. Finally, our party came to the place where the strange warriors with the spiders were fighting against something remotely resembling lobsters. Jotuns did their best to prevent bloodshed and convince fighting sides to resolve their conflict peacefully, but unfortunately both armies has fled when the Jotuns approached them trying to start negotiations. This unfortunate misunderstanding has been brought to our attention, and therefore since now, only persons of smaller size shall be recruited as missionaries. |
Re: [MP Game] The Eye of Chaos
The Commander of Truth watched silently as mercenary regiment of small hoburgs scurried off towards north. They had been of a great help securing the western border of Arcoscephaelian Empire, but had now used up their usefullness. Let someone else pay for them for a change. Kasadye himself had just slain his hundreth enemy, a score yet to be beaten by anyone else. Arcoscephale would prevail, even if he'd have to ensure it single-handedly.
As number of provinces without firm governship dwindled month after month it was time to survey the situation. To her east, vast sea limited the march of hoplites and the other side of a passable narrow land strip reeked of death. Lands due north were scorching under pale sun even in winter already, and people coming from south kept telling of hardness of mere thinking in those lands. And east... well, from His vantage point at the hills near impassable mountain range Teacher of Philosophy could see all the way to the other side of his Empire and beoynd. All the way to plains where nothing would anymore grow. The undead horde of Ermor had spread like a wildfire, and already scouts reported of new citadels erected in the wasteland. No indication of scourge's direction had been received, so perhaps this was not His most immediate problem. Perhaps... ...at that instant, a messenger from distant lands appeared with interesting news. |

The Beginning of the Scouring (Part 3)
"Here it was that Zenophon was filled with the pride of knowledge. All around him came the scream of dead and dying and his reach grew long. The dead and living, now thralls to the dark power of greed began the great work of the material. Citadels rose like the jagged blackened teeth of a great beast from below the world. Temples were constructed and the black mass was born. From lands afar did they flock, these living wishing the promise of the dead. Deep in the graveyards did they travel and the dead rose in greater numbers, howling destruction at their service. The nation of Man had grown, it's monks and men of faith to the south kept to their land and so Zenophon was pleased. His was the council of wisdom for he sought the power and not the lands of flesh and bone. Far against the horizon the sky was littered with dying stars and those who would watch. And elder people that memories stirred within the age of Ermor. They too were left without thought of such flesh and blood. Those who breathed water were too, left without thought. For their home beneath the wave did not tempt Zenophon with promises of power. The Last was the wilds of nature. Ever did things growing abhor those things wrapped in death's comfort. And so it was that the children of Nature kept from Zenophon the secrets of the land and he was angered. The call was given and the hordes began their path. The grind and twisting of innumerable bones and the whispers of souls from the past formed the ranks of the legions of Ermor. As it had ages before they marched with the pride and strength of countless lives. The drums rang now and the ground blackened. These halfmen would be driven from their groves and their sacred places within the earth. Zenophon was pleased and his search continued and his rise was all encompassing."
