[QUOTE="Karl Green, post: 2549414, member: 1467"] And now some of the “history” – my IK re-working of the Elementals of Law verses the Forces of Chaos and the forming of the [i]Rod of Law[/i] in the final battle. [sblock]Sometime around 4,000 B.R. (before rebellion) and some 1,500 years after [i]the Canons of the True Law[/i] were said to have been handed down to Humankind, in and around the [i]Time of the Burning Skies[/i] a war was being rage in both Cean and Urcean…between the forces of Law and Chaos… between Menoth and the Devour Wurm… between civilization and barbarism. It is told by some scholars that even the Infernal were involved, trading in souls to both sides, in an ever escalating war that threatened to destroy everything. So it was that seven of the holist, most devote disciplines of Menoth traveled over all of Western Immoren and then beyond, seeking a weapon that they could use to stop the war and end the threat of the Devour’s destruction. With divine guidance, and years of seeking and work, they forge a great staff which they called the [i]Stave of Law[/i] and with it they fought one of the Wurm’s most powerful warriors – the Wolf-Head Spider daemon. The battle shattered the landscape and killed most of the armies of both sides, and the [i]Stave of Law[/i] was shattered into seven parts, never to be re-assembled. It is said that the Devour Wurm either was placed into a state of Torpor or slumber, or that it pasted through into Urcean where is awaits to return. Many of the Tombs and Cairns in and around Diamond Lake are the tombs created from this last battle. The ‘Air-Duke’ is not an elemental so much as a powerful Warrior of Menoth who was granted powers to harness the Element of Air by Menoth. In those dark days, Menoth created a special brand of Holy-Warriors, who were granted powers of one of the primal elements as these were ‘true’ or ‘pure’ forces of Cean – primal forces of the world that could hurt and face the forces of Chaos. The Orgoth shaked many of these tombs AND then burried many of their dead here also - especially some important Blood-Witches and Generals. I am also thinking that along with Infernals, some of the blood-gods of the Orgoth where also involved with this war, and that part of the reason of the invasion of Western Immoren was to seek and gain revenges against the peoples that stopped their gods oh those many thousands of years ago. I am still devolving part of this BUT this is the basic idea that I have come up with. Any extra items and help would again be cool ;) [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
