Introduction

Image


The World of Aeos is one of astounding beauty, and yet, deep sorrow. It is an ancient world where even the elves, who can trace back their people's history several millenia in tje past, have but a small inkling of the world's mysteries. One thing is for sure, Aeos has had a long and varied history. It has had its tragedies and its heroes with many a civilization ripening to perfection before slowly declining into nothing as history takes its course. The world isn't perfect, of course. There had been war, famine, and injustice in the past and many a tragedy making its way into song, but for the most part, people lived happily and at peace with their neighbors, at least, as peacefully as mortal beings can. It is a wonderful world of mystery and magic.

Previously, the last great conflict had ended 1000 years ago when the Seven Demon Lords were defeated by the legendary human hero, Miernes, who disappeared soon afterwards, leaving only the tales of his heroism and deeds behind. For 1000 years, the World of Aeos knew peace. Then the Dark Lord came and everything changed.

No one knew his history or even his name, but they soon learned to fear him for his great physical strength and nigh-impossible Mastery of Sorcery. When he made the call to submit, the Wise were taken aback by how quickly his ranks were filled. Creatures such as Vampires, Dark Elves, Goblins, Trolls and Orcs soon fell under his sway. These races had long been persecuted as "Evil" and were quick to heed the new Dark Lord's call. Many humans too allied or swore their allegiance to the Dark Lord for various reasons, a fact the High Elves are slow to forget. In his onslaught, the Dark Lord gave his enemies a simple choice: submit or die. Many fought valiantly against the Dark Lord, but his armies soon outnumbered the few that opposed him and his Dark Sorcery overpowered and corrupted or destroyed many a promising Mage. The Dark Lord showed no mercy and the tales of his cruelties are the stuff of legend Kingdoms fell and the Dark Lord pressed on relentlessly for a time, bringing the sword and deadly fire upon his enemies. At last, however, he set about consolidating his power for his realm was now vast.

In the center of his domain, the Dark Lord raised the Dark Citadel of Halleoth, an impenetrable fortress built from black stone and filled with everything the Dark Lord and his most trusted servants could desire and guarded by over a thousand of the Dark Lord's elite guard. It became the symbol of the Dark Lord's power and wealth as well as a symbol of fear for no one ever escaped its dungeons alive. From this might fortress, the Overlord set about bringing "order" to his domain, rewarding those that served him in his war with everything they were promised. Apparently, he could be trusted to keep his word. Those under his rule soon adapted to their lord's new order: obey or facet the consequences. If they obeyed, they were left alone. If they did not, they faced consequences. Deadly consequences.

Over 100 years has passed since the Dark Lord appeared. Slowly, his armies march to expand his empire while his enemies ponder on what to do.There are few kingdoms and strongholds remaining who have not already been conquered by the Dark Lord or have sworn allegiance to him. The Dark Lord appears to be immortal and all-powerful with his servants enjoying great rewards. Meanwhile, the Dark Lord turns his mind to hunting down his last descendent and the heroes of this age begin to realize that if they do not do something, no one will.

#, as written by Wake
It had been several hours since Tharac and his company had raided the village. They were now set down again miles away, having moved a bit closer to the borders. Tharac himself was now seated in his tent, pouring over a map of the region. He had tracked the movements of the human mercenary headed in this direction, and even if he'd lost the trail that still didn't mean he couldn't flush him out. That was the reason why he had burned out the village in the first place, to make sure the boy knew he was coming.

Now another person would likely balk at such an action, Tharac had his reasons. Despite what everyone would claim of him, and his people in general, Tharac was not just a dull witted brute. He was cunning, and every bit of his actions, no matter how violent or brutal had an underlining method to the madness. This particular ploy was a simple hunters ploy. The 'prey', the boy, already knew he was being hunted and was trying to hide from him. If he sensed that the 'hunter', Tharac, was closing in on his hiding place he would then likely try to bolt for the nearest location of safety. In this case, judging from the heading he had reportedly been taking, that place of safety would likely be across the border towards the elven lands.

And that would be where the second 'hunter' would be waiting. Already Tharac had sent scouts to ride fast towards the borderlines, with the mercenary's descriptions and orders to any available troops to keep watch and apprehend him on sight. He had even sent a few to the drow, requesting their assistance. Though he had to embroider and repeat the words alive and unharmed more than once in that letter.

All and all, it was a sound and sturdy plan. Unless the boy had someone capable of smuggling him across the border, the would be little to save him from being captured in an ambush and be brought before the master within a week.

The ash of a once proud Elven city hung heavy upon the air as the frenzied activity of troops going about the business of setting up a fortified camp. The sound of chanting competed with the cries of Overseers as they whipped their slave gangs into motion. And the falling of trees and creating of Earthen walls contributing to a general cacophony familiar to any General.

In the heart of the camp underneath a sturdy canvas pavilion rested a wide and improvised table. Upon it's surface rested a parchment map outlining estimated enemy positions updated from the reports of the constant flow of scouts in and out of the camp None of it was helping the mood of either Vesznar or Solana as they leaned over the map studying it intently.

" We simply don't have enough to go on Matron, we got lucky here catching them with their pants down. We don't have enough spare troops to maintain numerical superior around this camp and launch another attack into the Forest. We're just going to have to wait for The Matriarch to bring up the main bulk of the army." Vesznar argued with as much patience as he could muster. The Eldrich Knight was trying for a conciliatory tone but was aware he was most likely coming across as condescending. His left hand was busy arranging the pins on the map while his right indicated the camp itself.

"The Matriarch is coming to replace us you know." Was the limit of the High Priestress rebuttal as she amused herself with solving a puzzle cube using telekinesis, the map beginning to bore her as the obvious was already known.

" By Loth's sweet rump I'd thought you be happy to see the back of this place Matron."

" Of course my dear Vesznar but I would rather have the Matriarch at arms distance then here watching us with undivided attention. " Solana replied with a laugh as the cube she was working on slid into its finished shape. The clash of arms indicated a changing of sentries even as the cries of acknowledgment made it clear.

"Of course...T'would be rather annoying to have that would be Queen right up the old backside. "

The Psionic Matron smiled once more as the dream of being Queen herself flashed through her mind. But before Solana could reply a sentry strode into the impromptu War Room. Accompanying the Sentry was a scruffy looking man puffed up with false courage.

" State your business here Human before I feed you to a Drider. " She spoke in the tone one reserved for one's inferior.

" I am here on behalf of my commander Tharac..." The messenger didn't have time to finish his reason as the High Priestress cut him off.

" Yes the uglier every time I see him Orc. What does the pig snout fool want that is worth you wasting my time."

" He gave me a letter outlining the details. " The messenger replied with a slight bit of heat not caring for being cut off by a Woman.

Taking the bit of paper Solana studied it in silence for a few moments. The Orc was really taking his vow to the Dark Lord seriously, something she'd never understand. One boy especially a useless human could not change the world.But crossing the Dark Lord held little appeal. And so she was all but duty bound to aid an Orc.

"Vesznar take five companies and link up with the Orc and see what he wants." The Psionic Matron ordered the father of her children. " Oh and make sure to teach the louse ridden whoreson bastard the next time he tries to send such a condescending missive I'll cut off his genitals and feed them to a hobgoblin. "

" It'd be my pleasure Matron." Vesznar answered with a deep formal bow and a grin of delight upon his face.

Vesznar then gathered up a mixed grouping of fast scouts and battle mages from the troops assigned as reserve support. Though he'd only be taking five companies or about a thousand troops the Eldrich Knight still did not like stripping the Camp's defensive support. Especially for some wild goose hunt lead by in his opinion a filthy orc.

The Patron of House Valiner knew though that this wild goose chase was ordered by the Dark Lord himself. While he respected any male that could order a Matron mother around Vesznar did not care for a human above him nor an Orc all but ordering the actions a Drow could take. In the Underdark Orcs were nothing but slaves,often used as fodder to exhaust enemy strength.

Still with the rapid pace a Drow force could maintain the march to Tharac's position would not be a long one. And so once the orders of Solana were relayed and the five companies were on the move the Eldrich Knight let his mind fall into the waking dreams that were elven sleep. Even as he marched alongside his small band of a thousand his mind and spirit found rest.
