[QUOTE="Khorod, post: 2079843, member: 1636"] [b]Contribution[/b] The original Orcish tribes of the ancient invasions were amongst the servants of the Twelve. The original Human tribes of the ancient invasions worshipped Ur. Their shamans directed them in defense of the Holy Vale of Ur. Thousands of years ago, the humans and orcs fought every Orcish Generation. Eventually, both sides were worn down, and the human shamans (whose true allegiance was more to protecting the Vale than their people) cast out their people, banishing them from the region. Several years before this, a Gnome broke free from the Elven necromancers to the south. He was losing his mind from the dark secrets to which he'd been exposed. Calling out for aid, for anything for his people, he killed himself. The blood that poured from his veins burnt like acid into the stone. Several years later, the one who would be Thanatos came across the corpse, and the blood-carved stone. Thanatos read it silently, but another of his apprentices read it aloud. And so the great summoning spell was unleashed. This broke the domination of the 12 Pillars over the Orcs, and gave some direction to the aimless human tribes. Under the parallel call of the magic, the humans and orcs, once enemies, raided into the Elven lands together. Thanatos spoke with the spirit of the dead gnome, learning its name as Aekalda. He used his power to rip the etched stone out of the ground and rolled it up. He then hid the Scroll of Aekalda, fearing what would happen if a non-Gnome came to possess it. Thanatos believes a powerful spellcaster, using this scroll, could undo its spell. As a result, all those of Eyrian Orcish Blood would suddenly be under the mental influence of the Twelve, and not predisposed to supporting the gnomes. A successful recasting of the spell after this would break this influence again, and subconsciously rededicate all those of the ancient tribal bloodlines to the safety of the realm- and to save the gnomes from what threatens them. Recovering this Scroll from its hiding place, and recasting the spell, is an option of last resort for Thanatos. However, he does not properly understand this magic, for it is Divine in nature.
