> 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 Some people are born into chaos, and for some chaos is born with them.;
> 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 Like the others before him. As crown prince, Maelnar would be taught the;
> 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 The strings of fate and destiny are far reaching and all encompassing. That;
> 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 + As he had planned he soon gained an audience with the Emperor of;
> 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.
