Story Time *********** I came into the realms, and... BLAM! There were special guards and city guards everywhere, and they were screaming. The good part is... Is that they were screaming Jutazz's name! It was crazy! Jutazz broke the law! He said he didn't know where he was at. I think he was smoking one of those strange cigars. After he BROKE THE LAW, he killed himself, and sacrificed all of his wares to the Gods! What an idiot! What a fool! Even I'M smarter than THAT. Well, anyway... I hope this gets into the Mystique, and if you could, tell me if it does. Ask me lots of questions that you have! -Wetoa The Tale of the Two Swords. ****************************** As told by Aldacer Rhunn I am descended directly from Durek, First Lord of Moria, and the first to wield Excalibur in battle. Moria was once a great city under the earth. Not cursed by undead as it is now. My ancestors were taken apart from other Dwarves. They and a select storm-giant clan that met its end when Urthaelm died. We were set to guard a place the Creator himself hallowed. It was where Shadar Logoth is now. It was named Aridhol, Palace of Paradise. As our scrolls describe it, it all was gold, marble, and crystal. It was a walled city, circular in shape, about the size of Valour of old. Set in three rings, decreasing in size as they went inward The walls were a marble-like material short through with gold designs and in the Center was the Palace. At its heart the Creator sat a twinning of weapons - Avantar and Excalibur. Those hallowed blades both contain the barest fraction of the Creators essence. Excalibur in its stone and Avantar in its Fountain. The spot was eventually overcame. My pre-sires and his brothers were disputed for who was to become the next ruler of our people. In his madness against what he knew would be his people's doom, my grand sire Durek gripped Excalibur and slew his brother, spilling hallowed blood in the Glade itself. For this, we were banished, and Excalibur deemed unfit to stay since it was tarnished. Close as that kin was to the original strain of our blood, they we re long lived, lasting centuries to guard Excalibur, and attempt to bring the peace we knew from Aridhol to Thera. We created a citadel after the manner of Theran Dwarves, under the earth, but as grand as any other City to be found. It was after we completed it that we learned nearly the same thing had happened, and Aridhol was destroyed by a kin-slaying between the giants that were keepers of Avantar. They destroyed chunks of the City nearly. And for that, they were banished, and a temple founded to keep the Avantar from such hands. It was guarded by human Templars under the great Templar Drawoc, granted continuous life as long as Avantar existed with his Clans bloodline gone, the full power of Avantar may never come again. scribed by Zanderic Gibzxioc the Stargazer, Visionary of Heralds. The Creation of Timaran ************************* New Thalos once stood where Timaran is now. It was a great city for many years. Then mysteriously the gods began to fight over the city. The gods went to war with one another. This war was started over a strange blade that mysteriously appeared out of no where. This blade was known to the wielder as the blade of Loki. This blade seemed to feed off the chaos that its wielder ensued. During the war the city was torn to shambles. Not a single building was left standing. For the longest time no one entered the remains of Thalos in fear of angering the gods. Eventually some brave warriors decided to enter Thalos and what they found was unspeakable. There was nothing left but a vast wasteland. Slowly people gathered together and united to form a new and glorious city named Timaran. In the end the blade of Loki destroyed a great city through its chaotic ways, but with that destruction a new and greater city rose from the ashes. |
