Well il keep this short and sweet. Empire can crawl out from under its hole im gone. role Some people are born into chaos, and for some chaos is born with them.; role Like the others before him. As crown prince, Maelnar would be taught the; role The strings of fate and destiny are far reaching and all encompassing. That; role + As he had planned he soon gained an audience with the Emperor of;
Here is my role
role Across a vast open plain in a rather unkown region of thera, two armies;
role + faced off. Five thousand years of peace and prosperity were about to come;
role + an end. Soldiers from each army stared off into the western sun, their eyes;
role + glued to the horizon waiting for the sign. The sign that the prophecy was;
role + complete and the deaths of their two glorious nations was at hand.;
role + ;
role + As the sun slowly approached the zenith, a sharp cry resonated through the;
role + plains. The cry of a newborn babe, followed by the earth shattering howl;
role + of hellhounds. Each side charged at the other with reckless abandon.;
role + The fighting went on for days, when one man fell another took his place.;
role + Hour upon hour new contigents of soldiers arrived fresh on the battlefields.;
role + Not one of them would leave the fields alive, the earth turned crimson from;
role + the blood of the fallen, and still they fought. No, today was not a festive day.;
role + Maelnar Je’han, born to Lord and Lady Je’han. Rulers of the Upper;
role + kingdom of Alakar. The birth of children in most occassions is a rather;
role + festive day. The only person celebrating the birth of Dher’Jal would be;
role + be lord of underworld himself. He was soon to inherit a vast number of;
role + souls. Maelnar Je’han would never know his kingdom or the glory that;
role + came with his birth. He was the crown prince of a kingdom that had ceased;
role + to exsist at the moment of his birth. Only life he would ever know would;
role + ever know from here on out was that of an orphan and an outcast.;
role + ;
role + arcane arts. It is often left for the parents to decide what school the child;
role + is to attend. It was decided that it would be fitting that the child who brought;
role + death to his people, learn the secrets of cheating it. He was instructed in;
role + basic necromancy. And then taken to the city of Galadon and deposited in;
role + the necromancers guild. It is here that Maelnar began to learn of his true;
role + nature, and his doomed exsistence. The meticulous record keeping that the;
role + guild of galadon was known for proved to be of use to Maelnar. His;
role + rescearch taught him the truth about the Legacy of Dher’Jal. His ill fated;
role + birth, and what would soon be his violent death.;
role + still does not stop people from trying to break away from their destiny.;
role + Some call it an inherent flaw in the theran psyche, others consider it the;
role + crown jewel of our characteristics. The fact that we think that we can;
role + cheat destiny. Maelnar thought no different, he knew that he was destined;
role + to die a violent death. That was unacceptable to him, so he did everything;
role + in his power to avoid that possible outcome. He would run as far away;
role + from his past and his future as possible. The first he would need to put;
role + his past behind him. He approached the Dreadlord of the Empire of thera;
role + and asked him to administer the blood oath. The first step in cheating his;
role + destiny was complete. The next step would come when he came face to;
role + the Emperor of Thera. The one time High-Arcanus Riebold.;
role + thera. After a rather unmemorable dicussion Maelnar found himself.;
role + a full fledged member of the black sect. He had atleast beat his destiny.;
role + Maelnar becamea model citizen, he continued to thrive in his guild as;
role + well as his do a stellar job as a citizen of the empire.;
role + ‘;
role + Destiny is not so easily escaped.;
role + Often when one tries to pull away it, it pulls back.. and with violent force.;
role + Maelnar was no exception. Out of nowhere he found himself at odds.;
role + with the Dreadlord and soon his status as a citizen was compromised.;
role + Maelnar found himself at odds with the very empire that he thought would;
role + be his salvation. And the threat of a violent death seemed even closer at;
role + hand. Maelnar found himself staring at his own sword, contemplating his;
role + fate. Would a quick death be better than the living hell his life was about;
role + to become?;
role Suicide, the ultimate act of cowardice. Maelnar was many things to many;
role + people. Dher’Jal: The child of Prophecy, to his people, anathema to the;
role + Empire, a defiler to the sylvan warders, a darkheart to the maran, a sworn;
role + enemy to the battleragers. He was all that and more, but he was NOT a;
role + coward. Deep within the recess of his psych crept a primordial being that;
role + even Maelnar did not know off. Its will to survive stronger than any bout;
role + depression that Maelnar’s psyche could conjure up.;
role + ;
role + If it was his destiny to die in agony, then he would meet it standing up.;
role + He had countless enemies in the world, one more enemy would make;
role + little difference. Specially an enemy as weak and incompetent as the;
role + citizens of the Empire. Time and time again, proud foolish citizens tried;
role + to destroy Maelnar as dictated by imperial law. Time and time again they;
role + fell. Then there were blacks like Zobrannxo and Shamseddin that would;
role + continue to amuse Maelnar despite their status as citizens. Zobrannxo;
role + earned himself the title of anathema for his relations with Maelnar.;
role + Shamseddin has been far more careful, careful to not acknowledge;
role + Maelnar as his teacher and benefactor, but accepting his lessona and his;
role + gifts all the same.;
role Life has come a full circle for the Dher’Jal. He was born into a destiny that;
role + he for most of his mortal life worked to avoid. The farther he ran from;
role + it the closer it seemed to get. As he neared the rank of spectre a new;
role + question begin to stir in his mind. Would the becoming satisfy his destiny?;
role + Only time would provide the answers to his questions. He has heard rumors;
role + of an ancient drow cleric who passed beyond the grasp of death by dying.;
role + Rumors suggested that he would find him in arboria, and with him;
role + lay the secrets to his becoming. To the fulfillment of his destiny. Each;
role + time Maelnar has approached the priest he has been unresponsive.;
role + Patience is one quality the Dher’Jal has plenty off.
