The moon rose high in the sky casting moon shadows. the moon was different this night instead of its dull blue color of the maiden it, had turned to blood red and a mist surrounded it, the moon of sacrament, the blood harvest moon. Children ran to their beds and hid, parent busied them selves with painting their doors black with the emblem of life written with their blood in the middle. Then ran to be with their children this was done everywhere along the land of wasia nadai. Panora a town to the far East next to the sea of panoraa, was the one that had given birth to the chosen, a being that had a dark heart even at birth, it was rumored that their blood was black ash and carried the souls of demons. They had a crest of a skull with a snake rapped around their arm that started at the forehead and moved down the arm to the hand. In the dark the snake seemed to move. The chosen were set for sacrifice for the Nazgul and the shade, to bring them good harvest and peace. these chosen were chained to a large stone table that was set at a 45 degree angle to the ground, when the blood harvest moon rose.
The moon was high now in the sky red mist covered the ground, then came the figures, they appeared to be caped their flesh of shadow, they came with red scythes strapped to their back, they were shade. they descended toward the town till they came to the center one moved to the stone table, raised its head and emitted a low scream that fastly rose pitch till it could shatter fine glass. It could freeze the hearts of men and was the talk of the shade and Nazgul. The shades dispersed unsheathing their scythes soon the night was covered with screams of the families that worked so hard to protect their families this night, The shade unchained the girl. and moaned to her, she understood and spoke. "I accept my fate I shall help bring rise to my heavenly father, I shall resurrect the lord of Chaos and death." Her voice was sweet and held a musical note to it but her eyes, misty red, shown with all the evil in her heart. The elder was brought to the table, the last of the village left alive, he coward at the sight of the shade, and spoke voice trembling, "why have you done this, why have you broken the holy laws, you were to feast on only her, only the chosen..."
" shut up you fool, there is still a sacrifice that needs to be made," She motioned to the shade, it moved to the man bent down till it was at his head level, putting its face 3 inches from his face, it began to emit a sucking noise, the red mist swirled toward its mouth as it sucked away the elder's soul. the 13 year old girl began to giggle sweetly, as the elders decrepit body crumbled to the floor its soul ripped prematurely from its avatar of flesh. The red moon began to turn to its normal blue state as it began to sink, the Shade dispersed from the ghost town the girl following them with a smug smile on her lips. The sun rose to reveal a massacre, children lay in their beds unaware that they had died, blood spilling down streets, The air laden with the stench of death, fleeing persons brutally murdered. None were left alive....
This is a post that is completely original and I am hoping to be the foundations of a series of posts, so I am calling on any one that thinks their charecter should go down in history of my post and can keep it alive, so in order to do this your profiles must be acepted by me in order to post. I also would like this post to be written like a novel, I would like it rich with detail and be able to pant that charecters's world. I'm sorry if I make it sound like a post from hell in a sence, with how much will be riding on you but if you can truely write like I novilist then I welcmely invite you and if i could would gadly shake your hand and give you some kind of reword, right now this reword is you being in the history of my post series.
This story is one of religion and views which is kind of how I like to base stories becouse it always allows diffrent angles and views of the same object. kind of like we view cows as food, but curtain people see them as holly objects. This also will allow for plot twists. Now I have not come up with a solid map I will leave that up to all of the pertisapents, but I don't want the post to be full of our chit chat, so I'm going to make another post on this site that will allow for us to do just that. In the post, list name how far away it is to a reference location already mentioned in the post and give me direction, genral background, setting and why the town is sugnificant to the quest. Some will be chosen and placed. In the post, polls will be set incase I like two but can only have one, then that way it is completly demcratic.In a sence any way...
Now after I scared you with that long speech its time to make another
. There are a few races and histories, which are listed here:
- Humans: they worship the Nazgul and shade by ofering a chosen, which is a evil soul that was reborn into the life stream( not really important in this post, though refrences will be made, let me make the first refrence becouse it is kind of complicated) These soulswould later become Nacromancers of great power. There are people that boleive that the Nazgul a deamons and thus haave "hunts" to completely wipe them out.
-Elves:(ancients rumored to have passed away but thier archutecter and artifacts still stand on this earth. The story line will revolve around such artifacts and structures. No one can be an elf or even some how related. These creatures will only be refrenced to.)
- Nazgul: (think of the grim reaper just instead of a bony body they are made of shadowy flesh, these creatures will also only be refernced to to keep the story simple, they are the leaders of the Shade known as the "herders" they were the first Shade to reach assention, and now derect the shade in the paths they took.These creatures are worshiped by small villages as death gods that once are appeased there demons will not ravenge the land of life and bring good harvest. The larger towns and kingdoms sponser the "hunts".)
-Shades:(like the nazgul but more primitive in mind and a few feet shorter, they follow instinct, their view is might makes right, and are very loyal to the mighter creature thus they make up most of the nacromancer armies. This will be what we are fighting.
There are magical creatures as well that are from the lifestream, these give aid to the magicaly gifted. there are two kinds hell-sendings, and spirits. They are both not good or evil mainly nutraul for the efects of our world do not affect theirs, and they can not truly die just be reborn. We can only have five you can have moltiple of one kind but they still deduct from your five for example:
1 fire spirit
3 metal spirits
1 hound hell-sending
total=5
You may somon them or manipulate or create their element. Hell-sendings are just some creatures they do not posses special powers but can be very use full like for example: Hounds can run fast and are strong. These creatures could get you over large distances in no time flat.
This will be what also make up the remander of the nacromancers armie.
the listings are as follows:
-spirits: beings of elements, in discription they are limbless wight creatures with black slim tails, and a featureless face, that has a mane of its element, They get around by using wings also composed in their element. They are not able to beridden for they have no solid matter.
Types:
Water-(name: Hydra) are usualy used for curing alenesses, though it does posses offensive attacks though less controlable.
Fire-(phynix) Are used for nothing but war, they have no healitive abilities and are a lot more controlable then water.
Lighting-(zenose) also used more towards war but can rivive a person that has been dead for three minutes.
metal-(Infrit) Can only be used by the humans that poses an illness known as the "blood lust" These are powerfull creaters that instead of a mane they have large horns apon the head, they fuse with metal and inable the person to manipulate metal, you can only be able to somoun metal, when you are possed by the blood lust.( Blood lust is a disease that is inharited at birth, where at times, usually when blood is shed you go into a rage and aquire a great hunger for blood. there is no way of controling it, only to help supress it. that is with a blood root mix. and then usually must be admistered before battle to prevent it from happening, or while it is happening someone else must administer it, If you have the blood lust you do not have to have metal as one of your somouns. but Blood lust is the only way to be able to somoun it.)
Ice:(Shiva) also normally used for healing, but has powerful defensive powers, does not have any offensive, unless you are making a siked wall of ivce at the last secound and cleaven someone on it.
-hell-sendings: beings of shadow taking the form of a beast. They are great in battle as warmounts, being able to warp their flesh to protect their master, though warping is slow, and makes the hell-sending weaker offensively. remember that for every advantage there is a equal disadvantage.
Types:(Note: you can make up your own names for these)
-Hounds: Can grant great speed, main fighting weapons are claws and teeth. recomended for knights
-Snakes: Grant stealth and camaflouge. They fight from a distance with acidic venoum; recomended for archers. and mages
-Bird: Grants flight and attacks with claws and fire (the dragons of the world, though the hell sending birds are feathered.) recomended for mages, knights or archers.
Remeber that if you only have one of these creatures then you can only somoun one. Also you must list your spirits and hell-sendings in your profile.
Lastly there are two spirits that can not be soumond but are the basis of our story, Life and Death, which was mentioned in the introduction.
Life:(helio) The only creature that can stop the lord of chaos and death. and can only be soumond by finding a floating continent that floated in the sky known as heli Wasia. This contenent sunk to the bottom of the ocean many centries back and four elemental towers must be brought to life once more to raise it.
Death:(Lord of chaos and death) A dragon like spirit that is over 15 feet long and is made of the souls of the danmed. He is the antagonis of the story and what we are to stop. His only weeckness is Helio.
Last is rules:
-No god playing(can't be invisible with your somounds and powers, I want you to shed some blood in a battle)
-no power playing (If cout you will be graged in to a hall and shot
)
-you can only have five in total soumon creatures.
-Profiles must be excepted
-Profiles must list You name, class:Mage, knight, Archer(This gives your main way of fighting style, if you fight from a distance using magic, or do you fight from a distance using weapons mainly. Or do you like to be in the heat of battle where the actions at.) histories, Discrpition(though I want you to discribe your self in your introductory post also.) Spirits and hellsendings along with the number beside each to show how much of each you have.And anything else you think you should include, including if you have the "blood lust" or not.
The post that will be made for discusion is the title of this one but with "discution post" in (brackets).thank you.
