Free the God of Words for a chance to win 5K Sapphires from Balur's prison!




Lords and Ladies!

Ages ago, the God of Words was born to preserve the life cycle of Stormfall through language. With blessed words and magical spells, he watched over the heroes of Darkshine, recording all their valorous feats in the sacred Chronicles.

The Chronicles depicted orcs as bloodthirsty, monstrous creatures locked in an endless struggle against the saviors of Darkshine. One day, cruel Balur with his legions of vile orcs arranged a meeting with the God of Words – asking that a chapter be written on the true nature of the orcs. They spoke of peace and understanding, of a story yet untold.

No sooner had the God of Words arrived at this deceptive meeting than the minions of Balur sprung their trap. They ensnared the God in chains and dragged him down into the abyssal depths of Balur’s Chasm. There, he was caged in the Infinity Prison, far indeed from the sun’s warmth, or from the gaze of Darkshine’s champions. Such was Balur’s wicked plan to steal away Stormfall’s history, and the means of its story-telling.

Sons and Daughters of Eldur, I hereby proclaim the opening of the great hunt called the #StormfallFable challenge!

KEYS to victory:

- Continue the following story in order to unlock the doors of the Infinity Prison:

"The Age of War has begun. It has seen the rise of Lord Oberon, through his righteous deeds and boundless courage, and through his leadership of countless armies in the war against darkness. To this day, Lord Oberon remains undefeated in battle. As the first rays of sun pierce the morning twilight, Oberon spies an orcish camp just on the horizon. He turns to his people and gives them a special SIGN…”

- Each story shall be given a striking title - use from 3 to 5 sentences to create a complete story

- Hint: a SIGN may be visual, verbal, or anything else you can imagine. It can be an artifact as well.

The RULES are as follows:

- No sexual or mature content is allowed.

- Avoid using strong language.

PRIZES:

1st Place: 5,000 Sapphires taken from Infinity Prison

2nd Place 4,000 Sapphires plundered from the orcish camp

3rd Place 3,000 Sapphires looted from Balur’s Chasm

4th place 2,000 Sapphires presented by the prison captives

5th place 1,500 Sapphires caught at the Inifinity Prison door explosion

Stories worthy to unlock the gates of the Infinity Prison will be chosen by the administration on October 30th. The winners will be announced after that date.

Only the most thrilling stories can unlock the doors to the Prison and to the hidden orcish treasures. Spread the word of this hunt across Darkshine and get your friends involved! The more stories we receive, the more chances we will have to rescue the God of Words!

Oberon turned to his people and said "check this out you guys, there's a competition and only two people entered, they're both making bank on this one". And everybody cheered.

Indicating the League which would have the honor of leading this attack. The Warlock League was to lead, the Marshall gave the command to advance to his Lords.

The warlocks and necros sent their magical attacks ahead, the flying corps of dragons, wyverns and chimera flew and flamed. Then the massive sound of the various mounted divisions came as they charged, along with the heavy tread of the foot soldiers.

The battle was bloody and deadly, but in the end, only the battle horns of the Warlock League were to be heard.

The Warlock Marshall reported back to Lord Oberon and handed him the Orc generals head.

Oberon turned to his people and said: "After this great victory against the people of the dwarves as it is high time to tackle a new Dragoniers for ultimate victory and to honor the gods of war"

Oberon raises his sword high above his head and cries "to me valiant warriors to me, for I have found the vile encampment of our enemies and VICTORY SHALL BE OURS.  We shall go forth without fear and win the day and all of Stormfall will acknowledge this as a great victory when the hoards of Balur are finally defeated. All the brave lads and lasses rally around him and they embark with glee to vanquish their enemy. At the sight of so many brave and fearless warriors the Orc encampment becomes utter chaos for they tremble with the knowing that they can never withstand the mighty Oberon and his massive army.

Now, since the enslavement of our Great God of Words, Balur is forcing new lies to be written as if olde. Our World is falling deeper into the sunless hordes of Orcs encroaching and the deepest sorrow seen since the beginning of our war.  The lies written must be stopped!  As sons and daughters of Eldur charge forward, the battle is intensely sobbering.  The people need a Great Warrior to impede the lies and tell real truths. As if the Gods heard our cries, a new champion appeared on the horizon, unknown from whence they came nor if it was male or female, and gave anewed hope to our people.

A blurred page


"The Age of War has begun. It has seen the rise of Lord Oberon, through his righteous deeds and boundless courage, and through his leadership of countless armies in the war against darkness. To this day, Lord Oberon remains undefeated in battle. As the first rays of sun pierce the morning twilight, Oberon spies an orcish camp just on the horizon. He turns to his people and gives them a special SIGN…”

 The orcs were obliterated, but it was too easy. What were they doing here, so few and so far from Balur's trecherous dungeon? Searching through the ashes of their ravaged camp, a pikeman spotted a partially burned coffer. In it the orcs had a blurred page from the Book Of Gloom and Gloom Seal, one of the seven that keep the Infinity prison doors locked.  So it is true ....they are real .... the doors can be opened and the God of Words set free. The page must be desciphered fast, but first the Balur's trackers that have also spotted the orc camp needed to be eliminated.

He gathers his army and makes up a SIGN for them and this sign helps his army be victorious. As the heroes of Stormfall continue to fight Balur's army Balur is destroying every village and castle in sight thanks to his SIGN he has all the power to take over the land of Stormfall. The heroes team up against Balur destroying his armies. They find Balur in his secret lair and seizes his SIGN and they now have the power to destroy Balur and his evil forces, but finds out that it was not the SIGN. He presents it to the heroes it was the ability to be undefeated and more victorious than ever. The heroes stand in defeat as Balur raises his dead army and attack the heroes, they now are in a prison awaiting their fates. But the Great Lord Oberon gives the heroes the strength to fight. They burst out and once again defeats Balur's evil forces. As the SIGN was undefended the heroes take it and uses it on Balur and defeats him in his own castle. Once again Stormfall is free and saved thanks to the Lord, Oberon and his heroes. This was the end of Balur's reign.

He turns to his people and gives them a special SIGN, raising his legendary sword high above him whilst on his trusty steed, the rays of the breaking sun hit his sword and with a  clap of thunder a burst of light spreads forward towards the Orcish camp blinding them. A thick cloud encapsulates Lord Oberon's army as they move towards the Orc's now unable to see the army of Lord Oberon coming.


With the roll of thunder and cloud coming toward them, all the Orc rise and look toward what they soon will find to be one that most will be their last. As the cloud finds the edge of the camp the orcs hear the mighty voice of Lord Oberon shout "with the Gods we fight and win" and the mighty army of Lord Oberon bursts out of the cloud and the blood of Orc's flows like a river.

He turns to his people and gives them a special SIGN… He points his finger towards a dark looking area behind the camp. It looked like a rocky area covered with black rock; but upon a closer look one could see glistening ice. There was something strange... The dark blue robe which the mountain wore seemed to move... The mountain was not alone for it was a dwelling place of creatures unknown... And he raised his voice and spoke to the people "A place where light finds no abode, a place cold and dark, far from the sun’s warmth... Niflheim!" He pierced his gaze upon it while people hurried to have a look and he mumbled "And all thought you were a myth... I know whom you hold captive..."

the women and children soundlessly faded to the rear, along with a few guards. The warriors came to the front, no strangers to battle, their face bore every expression, from anticipation, to elation. Every eye looked toward Oberon for the next signal, the signal to attack.

Battle Hymn of the Valheru


Ancient armor donned, sword held high, the people knew the time was nigh. Trumpets sounding, war drums bounding, the call to battle could

not be denied. To ride or die and punish the wicked, victorious will be the one that is quickest. And when the dust settled and they had their

fill, the Master of Words were once again unfettered. Songs were sung, new tales were spun, and Words again brought light to day.

INTO THE LIGHT MY LORD.

"The Age of War has begun. It has seen the rise of Lord Oberon, through his righteous deeds and boundless courage, and through his leadership of countless armies in the war against darkness. To this day, Lord Oberon remains undefeated in battle. As the first rays of sun pierce the morning twilight, Oberon spies an orcish camp just on the horizon. He turns to his people and gives them a special SIGN…”

 He lifted his hand into the air and revealed a large key, which his spies and elite troops had recovered from the neck of the orc commander before the dawn that day, the key to the gates of the Infinity Prison, a muffled cheer spread through the troops for now the hunt was over and the battle could begin.

As Lord Oberon’s hand fell, his army attacked and laid waste to all before them until Lord Oberon himself stood before the door that held the God of Words. As he went to unlock the door he noticed something in the corner sparkle in the glow of their torches, He picked it up and put it in his pocket and unlocked the door that held the God of Words.

“Come my Lord into the light” spoke Oberon to the thunderous applause and cheers of all around him and as they made their way up and out of that fowl place to an area where all could see them, Lord Oberon got down on one knee before the God of words and from his pocket he lifted a golden pen and offered it to her “Your majesty I think you dropped this and you’re going to need it, for this story must be told.

At that sign, the chimeras and dragons that, until then, had remain hidden, took wing as quietly as such great beasts could do. Flying low, they took the camp unawares. The first sounds of battle were the screams of the Orcs being bathed in dragonfire.


Oberon turned to look at his advisors with a smile. Pulling out his jeweled longsword, he merely pointed forward, then started riding at a slow pace, the rest of his army following.

Please note, that although sentences are long, there is only 5, as per the brief given, of using only 3 to 5 sentences, something that many other entries have not stuck to.! :) 


I stand corrected, the 5 sentences are a guide & not a rule. :) 

I coulda made it a bit better then & used a bit more descriptive verse, (flowery language), if had known. Neva mind, I`ll leave it as it is now. :)

THE REASON YOU FIGHT, THE PROHECY.!!!


...answering Oberon`s sign, an Eldrich Priest stepped forth brandishing a faintly green, glowing scabbard, & as he opened it, all save Oberon were momentarily blinded by a deeper, etheral, piercing light that illuminated as far as the eye could see, after which, the inithial blindness left them and people regained their sight, Oberon could be seen, speaking words in an unrecognisable tongue as he placed what appeared to be the last few inches of a mystical sword, that still emitted the same, reduced but brightly glowing etheric light, into an ornately decorated aperture in the ground in front of the great gates to Beacon No.1.


There was a mometary silence before a great thundering sound penetrated the hills for miles around and a great blue bolt of power errupted from the top of the beacon and arced through the sky and shot towards all other beacons of the land. 


It is done, said Oberon, all the lands have been purged of all Balur and the Prophecy has begun.!


To all across the land, know that the Lord of Words can only be freed by the mightiest league never the likes of seen before, one that controls 51% of ALL beacons at one time, thereby unlocking the gates of the Infinity Prison allowing the Lord his freedom and returning equilibrium to the world.

Make haste now, for the sacred ritual has only slain all Balur that existed in the world at that time and even now more are being reborn, to take the place of others that have fallen before them as I can only perform the ritual every thousand years and this then, is the reason we all fight, this then, is the Prophecy, can ANY league fulfil it within the next millenia............???

He turns to his people holding Veyon's Mace over Eldur's Flame, recites a chant only the gods can hear, flash, Lord Oberon is holding the white fire blade named Albusignis. The orcs start to scream and run to escape a fear that is ingrained into their very soul, with the path to the Infinity Prison clear, Lord Oberon aims the blade as the white flame leaps forward engulfing the entire door, swoosh, the entryway is open as the flame dies out. The God of Words greets his saviors, rewards them with the chambers of treasure, then rushes home to record all that has come to pass. The fabled White Fire was brought to life this fateful day, proving light will always overcome darkness and the gods have not forsaken the champion for the unity of Stormfall.
