The Black Shield Empire

The Black Shield Empire

0 INK

When the light falls to darkness, and good lay slain… what can one do… surrender… die… no… one can fight! Until their breath fails… and their veins run dry. One can be remembered… but for what shall they forever stand for… fear… or hope?

1,899 readers have visited The Black Shield Empire since TheRavenandThePawn created it.

Introduction

What can one do… when the light is the reason that darkness is cast so great. What can one do… when hero turns to villain. What can one do… when friend melts away to foe. What can one do…. When savior turns to the very meaning of the end. One… can fight… against… all… odds.

The great tower of the proud dragon riders known as the Dro’vic has succumb to the straight lines of black mailed troops and slayers of a once proud empire. The Steel Shield is tainted black as slaughter and horrendous acts spread. The man who saved the world and took the throne rules with a iron fist with his new wife and queen, Litheianna queen of the Wilting Moon.

Today a tear falls… for those who died in the slaughter… and for those who still live in the nightmares of a genocide against the Dro’vic. Mealis save us… for darkness falls this day.






Factions

The Black Shield Empire. This empire encompasses the entire whole of the land continent Dophia. Supporting a massive army and powerful heroes of the past it has been deemed unstoppable. It is ruled by the current King Araka and Queen Litheianna Silverblade.


The Black Port Pirates. This deadly and powerful crime cartel rules over the western seas with deadly intent. Even empires do not dare to challenge these pirates to battle in open waters. Currently led by Thomas Alexander the Black Scourge.


The Dro’Vic. The dragon riders… now a broken and dying order. Should the dragon or rider dies there is a ninety percent chance that their partner will die as well. Once lead by a order of the eleven eldest riders and the champion who is believed to still holds the top of the Dro’Vic tower.

Monsters.

Brekka

Red. Lithe and fast hunters who average the size of a horse. Deadly and intelligent these pack hunters could easily outsmart and slay dragons. One should not challenge these creatures when arrogant… or you will die.

Green. Large powerfully belt monsters who charge with deadly strength. Long horns mount their deadly heads and their legs are strong enough to force them through a wall without momentum. They are roughly the size of a warhorse more then capable of ripping through anything or one while charging.

Black. These massive hulking creatures of long deadly necks and needle thin fangs. Capable of harassing enemies from over nine feet away with their necks and tail they are by far the largest and most dangerous Brekka capable of slithering through tight passages and overcoming anything through brute strength. They burry their eggs in shiny objects for some unknown reason. This usually means their lairs are full of treasures.

Blue. Deadly and cunning these amphibious Brekka have long horns to breaking through hulls and long deadly claws for burrowing through puncture holes. Roughly the size of a dog these creatures enjoy sleeping in the ballisks of the ship. They are sometimes kept as pets on board due to their prey being rats. They have soft blue leather scales small needle length fangs. They have three clawed hands and a large horn. Some find these creature adorable while those who train real Brekka find them an insult to the breed.

White. These lithe Brekka are long serpent like monsters capable of flying while worthless in melee combat they spit bolts of acid to kill and harass its prey and foes. White scaled with large white wings they are not as fast nor maneuverable as Jarei but they make excellent snipers in air to surface battles. Their saliva paralyses on contact.

Jarei. Small reptilian bird like creatures while not dangerous to creature such as Brekka their beaks are still capable of being lethal to anything they can get the drop on. Slightly smaller then a Red Brekka they are often used by humans as transportation when horses won’t cut it.

One should not fight these creatures unless its absolutely necessary.

Kurag. Deadly humanoids with powerful exoskeletons that armor their bodies. Intelligent and strong Kurag swallow humanoids whole as they move towards their stomach their prey is coated in a cobweb-like coating which constricts the prey to minimize size while they digest their prey much like spiders. Their innards are now strong enough to handle scaled, spiked, or other such creatures as this would tear apart their digestive track. They also are capable of liquefying their prey excluding the skin, they stretch this over their bodies and take the form of humans and elves which they resemble in appearance.

The Shadowed. Creatures that feed of evil and vile memories. They thrive in places of horrid deeds and places of slaughter. Composed of solidified malice and darkness they are capable of turning into a thick mist to suffocate and kill those who stand against them. Taking one of three forms Stalkers are lithe creatures who hunt their prey with joy in squeezing every last drop of fear before they murder their victims and feed of their negative stain upon the world. Brutes are hulking creatures capable of crushing would be heroes who can stand against the Stalkers… they ensure the protection of the Fiends. The Fiends are the puppet masters, allowing their thoughtless Stalkers and Brutes the ability to think and strategize, they give purpose to the lesser Shadowed power Fiends embody the full force of evil in a place of great suffering… certain places Fiends are often compared to gods in power… one should avoid places stained or that which remain scarred by black deeds.

Zakra. Spirits trapped in tormented existence. Forced to relive their deeds and deaths, forced to fight in never ending battles due to the poor evil that perverts their resting grounds… as most soldiers are burned or buried on the battle field… or the slaughtered cities. Zakra are capable of harming mortals with a deathly touch, though their weapons can only harm other Zakra. They can not truly die they only return to relive their horrors again and again… to end such twisted creatures one must slay the Shadowed Fiend who embodies their pain, the horrors they live in, and the darkness that taints their souls.

//Send me a P.M. of what type of weapons you took and I’ll tell you what enchantments they have.//

“Very… well… maybe you might choose to take the mine carts down… they are quite fun… I believe you who live only to die several blinks later… they will take you to the base of the city as well… no need to trudge through those spirits who haunt my mountain…” He moved his motioned to a set of stairs downwards next to his anvil. “make haste… by my sense of time… your kindred have four days before they are slaughtered.”

Faelyn let out a small gasp and the last of the dragon's statement. Only four days?! How would they save them in that small amount of time?! Looking at the stairs she quickly made her way to them and peered down into the darkness. At least this time they wouldn't have to travel through the spirits of the dead. She looked over her shoulder at the others before starting her way down the stairs.

Elanil hesitated, glancing at the dragon. Four days? That was it? She followed Faelyn down the stairs. "If that's all the time we got, it seems like we need to hurry." Only four days before the rest of the Dro'Vic are slaughtered...that wasn't much time, and would definitely take a lot of work before they actually got anywhere. It felt like they'd need to rush to save everyone in time. She didn't like that thought at all.

The dragon once more was lost to his craft as the four descended down the stairs. Old tracks of metal and wood lead downwards, upon them massive metal carts big enough to fit a entire carriage. Surrounded by several filth ridden dwarves who weakly ran about throwing what was probably Iconous’ failures… which still were better then most master smiths of other races into the massive carts. Some scurried around with ore and metal bars. These poor wretches were taken in by Iconous during the slaughter… not even the Infinitium Empire dared face the deadly dragon.

Faelyn stared around at the dwarves as they ran about working. She was immediately struck with pity for the poor things but this was better than the fate of their brethren. Walking over to one of the carts she peered into it. He had said to ride the carts down because it was safer than pushing through the souls right? She took a look down the dark tracks they would ride along before climbing into one unsure. "Um, well come on let's go I guess. How are you two going to get down?" She asked looking up to the two dragons.

Elanil glanced around, watching the dwarves as they threw weapons into the carts. he wondered why; they had seemed perfectly fine to her...maybe it was just because of somethig she couldn't see right away. She climbed into one of the large carts with Faelyn, looking warily down the tracks. She gripped the edge tightly, hoping there wouldn't be too much trouble riding down like this. She would hate to fall out on the way down.

Jade climbed up squeezing into one of the carts. Storm though larger seemed to fit better do to her slimmer form. ‘I believe Iconous disapproves of much of his works if he uses carts this large to remove his failures…’ Storm spoke as she watched the dwarves scurry around. ‘I wonder how long they work… dragons as old as Iconous need not rest from such tasks as smithing… it requires little strength to a dragon.”

Faelyn looked around at the workers once more contemplating Storm's words. These guys probably never stopped working, ever. She was saddened by this until a few of the workers began pushing her cart forward towards the dark tunnel. "Wait, wait what are you doing? Please stop! Hey, hey are you listening cut it out!" Just as the words left her mouth she plunged down into the darkness with a yell grasping onto the cart fearfully as she rolled at high speeds.

Elanil shook her head. It didn't seem like the dwarves got any rest, not if Iconous could work tirelessly. Storm was right; Iconous had to have disapproved of much of his work to have such large carts to haul away the failures. But then the carts were being pushed down. She gripped the edge tightly, already frightened, but she wasn't going to scream. She managed a whimper, but not a scream. She could only hold on tightly.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Hey, I'm not going to be able to post. I'm having the hardest day. I can only manage so many roleplays right now. If things keep up like this I will have to quit.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

It was a yes... I was kind of out of it when I responded.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Umm.... does that mean no?

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Would it be fine if I dropped a bio in here?

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Thanks, that would be highly appreciated. I've been trying to figure out how I ought to jump in for the past few days, but I'm not entirely sure of where you guys are.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

If you need a way in just ask and I'll find a way to get you started.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Alright I'm back and working on my character now.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Holah crap! It's Crystal! I lurve you.

...

Anyway, I suppose I'll get to creating a character...

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

lol...Oh, I don't know...a pirate? Just a random guess, probably wrong. :P

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Got'cha. Is it alright if I join, ya'know? Five bucks says you can't guess what my character will be.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Yes there are flintlock rifles, but they are reserved for naval officers and pirate captains.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

I have to ask, how far are the pirate lot in terms of technology? Flintlock weapons okay?

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Just add it to your character sheet.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Since I'm not allowed to send PMs I have to answer your pm here. Where would you have me put my Dragon's true name? Elesnar is the name used for everyone else.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Thanks, I appreciate your patience.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

Alright you may do so, I'll be waiting for it on friday.

Re: [OOC] The Black Shield Empire

I would like to reserve a spot, since I'm leaving tomorrow and won't be back until friday. I'd like to ensure that my character will get a chance to be reviewed and accepted before spots fill up.
