Land of the Ancients: Return of Elderic

TaroAndSelia said
Old ageAfter 600, dragons are considered elders and like humans, their bodies are starting to degrade, as is the level of their magic. While the average life span is from 800 to a thousand years, the oldest dragons recorded are of age over 1500 years.Just going to put that out there. It's part of Forsythe's sheet.And there's no rule that says a spell to change appearance can't change apparent age.

its just that the age and that picture don't really fit :/ i've never seen a 13 year old like that
and i am going with the story's timescale. Cain is not a second generation dragon if you catch my drift...

Land of the Ancients: Return of Elderic

Long ago, the Ancient races and the humans lived together as one. They shared the land and it was a time of glorious peace. But one day, a Mage by the name of Elderic grew envious of the power of the Ancient one's. He began to study magic forbidden by nature, gaining power no mortal was meant to hold, but even so it was not enough for him. It wasn't long before he found another who held his greed. The leader of the Veldic clan.

He wanted no power, mealy the greed of riches and glory. Forming an alliance, they began to work to get the other the clans on there side. Using a mix of forbidden magic and bribery, Elderic and the leader took control of the clans. It was shortly after that Elderic slew his partner, having no intention of sharing this power with anyone. With all the clans under his control, Elderic took control of the human race, and began plotting against the Ancients.

---

For years, Elderic built his army. Gather a mass unseen at the time. He knew he had no hope to outmatch the Ancients, but he would use sheer force of number to slay them. Over the years, he sent assassins to make silent strikes against the Ancients, never being suspected. The Ancients believed Elderic to be a wise and loving Mage, how wrong they were.

Over the years, he kept the pretense of peace and friendliness. Though he used the Veldic clans wealth to train and arm his massive army.

After eleven long years.... he struck the first blow.

---

Sending a group of Veldic saba tours and Reku magicians to the great Gi'Eld mountains, he struck against the dragons. During their mating season, he had his men use a mix of explosives and magic to bring the grand mountain down, bringing with it most of the Dragonkin.

The Ancient Races were enraged, but Elderic convenience them the men acted alone in this. He slew his own men before the Elvin king in retribution. Though now wary, The Ancients did not hold the human race accountable for the actions of these men.

Eldrics plan was working without fail.

---

Elderic had many of the Dwarven mines collapsed, he turned the orcs against one another, and poisoned the water of the elves.

But after one more year of these silent attacks, Elderic brought forth his army to the Lunario forest, holy ground to the elven race. King Arato intercepted the great force and held back the army as they tried to set fire to the forest, but he tried in vein. The Elves outmatched the humans, by number overwhelmed them. The king was forced to flee. The holy site was lost to the world forever.

---

Centuries Later
The Ancient races still continue the war against the humans. The Mage Elderic vanished soon after the war was started. Most count him among the dead, but not all. The humans have taken a king to rule their land. King Palan, direct descendent of the great Mage Elderic. He hold the same ambition of his Ancestor. The fighting has continued for the centuries with nether side weaning. The Dragons refuse to fight for fear of extinction. The Dwarves are starting to talk of retreating into their mines and the Elves continue the fight. The Vakgar - A Kingdom full of Ancient Races. Elves, Dragons, Dwarves, and Orcs hold this land. It is located near the great eastern ocean of the world. The land is covered by deep lush forest, and mountains that reach far past the clouds. The rich lands or filled with magic, that seems to hang in the very air of the Ancient Kingdom. The Elven King Arato has ruled over the land since time immortal. Though each of the ancient races have their own leaders, he governs them all.

Races

Elves ~~~ Well balanced in all areas of fighting, and of very apt in the mystic ways. They live in the capital of the Kingdom known as Acheron, which is in the center of the kingdom.
Dwarves ~~~ Strong hardy, enduring race. They live in the within and around the great mountains, tunneling and living within the earth. They are a proud and stubborn race, and will rarely bend to the will of others.
Orcs ~~~ A Brutish race relying on their strength and power to keep them through the test of time and war. They frown upon all use of magic, seeing it as the black arts, though they fear it more then anything. They live within roaming tribes around the lands of Vakgar.
Dragons ~~~ Said to be the most powerful creatures in existence, but a dying race all the same. Do to the meddling of a mage, their race is now all but extent. The few remaining live high within the caves of the great mountains.

---

Cartharg ~~~ The kingdom of the humans, ruled by the sorcerer king, Palan. The land is covered with roaming hills, and long grassy plains. The mountains within this land pale to those of the Vakgar, but the soil is rich and fertile.
Thought ruled by King Palan, the Kingdom of Cartharg is shared by the three great Clans.

The Veldic ~~~ The wealthiest, and most untrustworthy clan. They are skilled in the art of deception, making them perfect assassins and thieves. They are more likely to stab you in the back rather then shake your hand. They make their home in the grand city of Cybele.

The Bkir ~~~ They are the strongest and most noble men and women within Cartharg. They hold their honor above all else, even their lives. They are stubborn and enduring, and always ready for a fight. They make their home In the Ald Field Meadows in the village of Shoregrove.

The Reku ~~~ The wisest of all the clans. They are scholars by most, but many within this clan are well versed in the arcane ways. Though due to the Mage Elderic, they are the most hated of the human races. Their home is the city of Vergate in the Sanharst Valley.

Forsythe is right. Right now the point is that noone in the group could even hope to look at Elderic without the risk of ending up dead. Your more then welcome to keep him in reserve for later down the road, but for now only simple characters are going to be allowed. You start with someone already powerful enough to stand up to Elderic, then there's not really any room for them to grow without making things to easy.

Oke, in the reserve shelf it is then. Now i have to go back to creating a new char
EDIT: No more dragons right? if Cain is reserved we already have 2 dragons so yeah, more than 3 will be a little too much.

While I like the character there are two main problems. first someone with that kind of power, wouldn't be able to be brought into the rp until way later, like near the end of the story. This rp is suppose to be about growth, characters who aren't warriors, fighters, who aren't experianced at this stuff that have to grow to overcome their challanages

Second being, A dragon like that would be on Elderic's radar in seconds. He's a mage that has conquered the underworld and death itself, the only reason Taraah isn't a concern to him is beacuse she is young without her full power.

I already know about the "being too op to be in the rp" problem, but i wanted to play if possible, someone with a little more...authority? I mean this RP mostly consists of simple people right now so i though a figure of higher standing or so to say would be a nice change. About the Elderic problem, i think that every mage that becomes well versed in all aspects of the arcane arts could be able to overcome death e.g. become a lich (remembers ruri's story).

Also, having a more powerful character will IMO give the story a little diversity.

Well, i could always make a new one and keep this one for later but i feel the story needs someone who could stand up to Elderic early in the story, while the other characters are developing.

EDIT: Here is the Google.doc archive, if you want to read through them and get an idea of the latter part of the old rp, feel free...
EDIT2: changed the indestructible by human standards thingy, what about now?

What happened to memory loss? That was cool!

I scraped it because its was going too slow and i didn't know how to make him regain his memories :(
EDIT: i have kept an archive of my posts so is anyone wants to see them and try to remember somethings about their character, i will have them up shortly on google drive

Land of the Ancients: Return of Elderic

I don't really plan to introduce him early in the rp :/ i can change the indestructible part tho if its that much big of a deal :/
