Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Jefe" data-source="post: 2435824" data-attributes="member: 19990">(Discussion) General Part VThere were a few interesting descriptive paragraphs in this thread.  First, The Goblin King gave this description of the Fortress of Unending Night:Five centuries ago the Fortress of Unending Night was the bane of the surrounding region. It was built by Unseelie Faeries who had fled to Enworld. The castle was constructed from half-realized nightmares and spun moonlight. During the day the fortress disappears like the morning mist. During the night it returns. From its depths all manner of fell creature would come forth. It is situated in the middle of vast windswept moors on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Finally, a company of Paladins armed with cold iron weapons laid siege to the fortress. They could not break the enchantment that held the castle togather and so it stands today. A monument to shadow. There are rumors that not all the Faeries were put to the sword. The story goes that some escaped and have been in hiding all this time. Certain unnatural events in the countryside may be evidence that something evil is once again living the the Fortress of Unending Night.Also, Uriel expounded a little more on Rivenblight:When I created my character, I was envisioning Rivenblight as a sort of Renaissance City of Elves, and Romeo and Juliet was very forefront when setting the tone in my own head. Guilds and Clans of duelling Grey,High and some (outsider) Wood elves, political intrigue etc... At the core of many of the problems are the Drow, who live in the ruins down below and infiltrate the society above. Swashbucklers fit the archtype far better than a fighter, which really isn't designed for roof-top battles, duels on causeways overlooking five hundred foot drops and running battles between buildings. Neither is the Rogue, which can do most of that well (and far betteer than a fighter), but relies on backstabbing and ambush, where the Elves of Rivenblight are honorable adverasies with very strict rules of engagement. Sure, there are Rogues skulking amongst the shadows, and plate armored fighters serving in the Houses, but the bulk of the folk waging war in the City don't fit into either archtype.</blockquote>
