Armok had a busy day when he created this world. A massive world with a very long history, Armok planted the seeds of civilization in the fertile, savage world, as well as countless dark beasts and demons. But he was not uncaring-- in his world he left gifts of metals of all kinds-- if only his mortal children could survive long enough to look for them. With those, they would be strong enough to fend off the beasts that inhabited... if they fought well.
For Armok had no use for weaklings. In this, the Dimension of Vision, Armok would see which of his children would survive, and which would thrive... and which would fail.
In this world, an elf came into a position of power-- Melissia Blackheart the Moral Suffering. In another world, she was the last elf alive-- and, determined to make her kind remembered for all eternity, she slaughtered her way across the planet's supercontinent, killing every single bandit, night creature, forgotten beast, and daemon that dared stalk the surface-- and when she finished with that, she followed dwarves into the deepest bowels of the world, slaughtering her way across countless caverns until the dwarves came across a place where no living creature should ever go and were promptly annihilated by the beasts they unleashed.
But then they met Melissia, the greatest heroine ever to grace that world. With her iron greatsword, she pushed the foul monstrosities back to the nightmarish hole from where they came. Going in after them, Melissia fought with never-ending tide of unspeakable horrors, battling them day and night, until she finally was forced into a mysterious pit by an exploding corpse.
But Armok favored her, for she had spilled much blood, even if it was not in his name-- and furthermore, he had a sense of humor. He sent her soul to be reborn in this new world, waiting for the right time and place... and with her skill, she obtained considerable power within the dwarves as The Prophet of Armok. She was then given a task... to found a new fortress and make it thrive and stand the test of time. To once again conquer the depths of the worlds, but this time... she would do it with an army at her back.
So begins anew the tale of Overseer Melissia and the Fortress of Silverblight the Legion of Doom.
[Melissia's Notes: Please keep all communications in this thread as letters to "Overseer Melissia", or at least letters to another poster with a BCC to Overseer Melissia if you are responding to someone other than me. Essentially, roleplay and stay in character. If you MUST post ooc, do so in spoiler, such as this:][Out of Character (OoC) Explanation: Create world: everything set fully to the right. I'm using Runesmith to copy Melissia's absurd stats and highly trained combat skills,while giving her almost no social ability-- which given that she was, quite literally, the last elf on her world, a barbarian who raised herself, makes sense. Also! Please wait for my second post to be completed, as I'm typing up Overseer Melissia's requisition and summary of her chosen location.
This is my first serious attempt to try to settle hell. I'll likely be using several methods from aussie's thread to accomplish this, but after I survive the initial wave of demons, my plans will become all my own.]
