Strife Of The Eclipse New Beliefs
The great iron doors of the ancient cathedral opened with the slow, malevolent movements of an approaching thunderstorm. The five soldiers of the Levalimar strode into the grim chamber with confidence and determination. Faith in Belial held their minds at ease in the presence of the unspeakable, palpable evil within the darkened sanctuary. Long ago, the cathedral had been a place of worship of Allyse but now it became the ground of heretic worshiper Belial. It stood as a triumph of the Levalimar’s architecture, reaching towards the heavens with a pinnacle of gleaming marble. Alas, it had long ago fallen into disuse by the righteous, and word had spread that new rites and worship were taking place in the fallen chapel. When the soldiers arrived, they found the once-clean windows boarded over. Dirt, ash, and stains of questionable origin had darkened the polished marble exterior. The commander pushed against the doors of the cathedral and they resisted his arms for a moment, but then s
Strife Of The Eclipse Three Months Ago : Stefan
Stefan was standing on top of the hill, looking out over the camp. The men were packing up the tents. As commander of one of the traveling armies of Stormhaven Port, the Stormtrooper Batallion, he was in charge of the lives of these men, but today he wished it wasn’t so. The men were tired and many of them were wounded, and Stefan could easily understand why. It had seemed like such a good idea when the current Lord of Stormhaven, Aiden had asked them to clean up a little in the Badlands, but he hadn’t known that they would be fighting every day with only the nights as resting-time, and there was still one battle left. Stefan praised Rena for her many fantastic leadership along the way. There was Ogmore Dunheim the Mechari. He had been Stefan's friend through many dangers, and it had been Ogmore who had saved him when he had lost his mentor in the battle against the Varyan Empire Armies. There was a newly appointed Lieutenant, Sivir Hawk who led the handgunners. Stefan smiled when h
Strife Of The Eclipse Three Months Ago : Valdyr
Valdyr looks out across the battlefield and sees the vast army of the enemy slowly advancing. He tightens his grip on the hilt of the long blade; his heart is pounding in his chest so hard that it feels like it’s sinking. He can feel that the atmosphere around him feels like he should be crying, screaming, or shaking so hard that someone can barely stand. But Valdyr isn’t doing any of these things, though. For some reason, he feels perfectly calm. It’s as if there’s a wall between him and his rising emotions, blocking out the fear and terror, and anticipation coursing through his own veins. His palms are sweaty, and his throat is dry. The armor he wears is heavy and uncomfortable; people around him didn’t feel prepared at all. Despite this, Valdyr does not complain. What right do you have to complain, when in just a few moments, you and your subjects will be forced to fight for your lives, and your freedom? They do not complain, and neither shall he. Energy buzzes beneath his skin,
Strife Of The Eclipse Three Months Ago : Claude
Claude stood quietly among the masses, feeling his blood rush in his ears. Corpses upon corpses littered beneath his feet. Their masses all formed together into one blob of disgusting flesh that rotted under the hot sun. Birds flew overhead, their soft calls warning one to turn away from the grisly sight. All of this… all of this and for what? Who ever dreamed that war would be glorious? That it would be full of victories? War was like a child’s dream… so lovely to imagine… and yet so horrifying to witness. Claude tried to move away from the masses, but his body lurched as his foot caught in one soldier’s open chest cavity. He glanced down, the sweat on his chin slowly falling until it dripped every so slightly down… and directly onto the ashen face of death that stared back at him. He swallowed thickly as he pulled his foot away with effort, his heavy armor having a difficult time doing so. The stretch, the horrid stench as it pulled. It could only be the stench of death. And the so
Strife Of The Eclipse Child of Calamity
Three months ago, at Stormhaven Port war council. Sorisana is talking to Aiden. "hmm... another halfling joined the cause? Sorisana asked after she looks at the clan interface... why did I get this feeling that you like to gather halflings to your clan? she joked". "do you believe that it is all a coincidence? besides that... Maria already asked me to take care of him and Stefan. Do you already get the intel for Stefan?" "I did, it was kinda surprising though... especially about the darkest secret about his father... you won't even believe what I am about to uncover for you, Aiden. It makes me kinda scared actually if this thing is to be known to normal people." "What do you mean about that? Aiden's interest is piqued. Well, the wind and earth speak some secrets to me... and for this, I have to do this. Sorisana then conjures a soundproofing barrier between them and tripled it again. Seeing her action, Aiden also cast another void blockage barrier, isolating them completely from
Strife Of The Eclipse Vexira's Involvement
Two hours later... Aiden watched as the Giant ship fly away from Stormhaven Port. In his hand, a tome is present. Sorisana speaks to him... is this the right thing to do? Aiden replies... I don't know. let me be the one who takes the burden... it was on me after all. Behind Aiden, a silhouette of a girl sleeping sound in a bed can be seen. Sorisana, please take care of her. Aiden ordered, no one should know about what happened tonight.. except two of us. Sorisana looks unsettled. Aiden approaches her and taps her shoulder, it's okay... we just need to do this. Aiden chanted a spell and the room suddenly feels calming and soothing which makes people who came around the room feel sleepy and wanted to sleep. Sorisana came to the bed and checks the body of the girl... after confirming that there is no changes to the girl, and there is no wounds or scars on her body, she felt relieved. Aiden just uses a Giant's technology to extract the calamity embryo from Aera who is sleeping sou
Strife Of The Eclipse Maria and Viego : Loyalty
Twelve years ago... Maria's retirement was coming to an end. She had been brought to Hildenburg Temple wounded and unconscious, and she had stayed to find answers. She was greeted with respect but circumspection. Alanis had even feared that he would not be wanted. It had been necessary for the Great Mother of the Temple to intervene. The other priests did not appreciate his presence and the impact that Maria's reputation would surely have on that of the temple. Wasn't he the one who preached the recognition of Allyse as the mother goddess of all Sylvari? She had asked to be locked in her retirement cell when she woke up. A room she occupied whenever she needed to be alone, cut off from the world. It was a room of Spartan comfort equipped with a bed of straw and linen and a simple coffee table, on which Maria could take her meals, burn her candles, and pray. She spent her days there in prayer or meditation and her nights, populated by visions, enjoying a very relative rest. Alanis
Strife Of The Eclipse Prelude of War : Aila - The Dancer
Levalimar, before the Cult of Vexira, was spread in the city and overtake it. A chorus of boisterous cheers rang out, reaching her ears as she stepped forward, past the curtains, and onto the small stage. The smell of rum, ale, mead, and other brews mixed with the smoke and fires of the kitchen further in the back. She looked down from her current position and smiled, with a small and irresistible smile. It was always as such on nights she danced. She loved it, no she bathe in it. The stage was well lit, thanks to a combination of mecharies ingenuity and well-placed coin. The light shone upon her brilliantly, illuminating her sun-tanned skin, and giving her an ethereal, almost mesmerizing glow. Her hair, long flowing silver, sparkled as if the mecharies had mined it from the very mountains they dwelled in. And, the pure white, silk blindfold she had across her eyes, seemingly glowed as if they face their natural glowing orbs. The loose sleeves of her silk-sheer dress seemed to sw
