How was the Hive created some would ask? How? I will tell you a story about the creation of our mighty land...
There was a happy village in the outskirts of the castle . People lived happily there, leaded by their moose chieftain - Ralle. Until one day, a dark and cold night fell upon the land [IMG]. There was a dark fog around the castle, up in the hills and the villagers wondered what was going on... they hadn't seen their chieftain in a long time. He lived up there, in the castle. The land was corrupted... some left the village, others tried to survive in the wilderness, where beasts and evil creatures dwelled.
Many people don't know the truth though - it was a dark night when a shadowy figure came to Ralle and offered him an artifact [IMG]. He gladly accepted it, not knowing what the artifact actually does... it corrupted him. He no longer went down the village, to see his people, no longer cared about anything. But in time he became... evil. He closed the castle and left all his people die in the wilderness.
The shadowy figure which the people later called Black Death, had not only come to him. No, Black Death, gave "gifts" to all the people in the castle [IMG]. Those who declined them were forced to take them - Misha, a mighty knight who saw something... strange about this was corrupted by Black Death [IMG]. Too bad there was no one to help him, because everyone in the castle was already cursed. They became mindless slaves of the evil lord Black Death... his evil could not be so easily satisfied with the sadness of these people. No, he wanted more. He wanted to control this mighty land. He ordered his dark creations to attack the village. To destroy all good that was left. So it happened... death and destruction... slowly Black Death started taking over the land. Step by step. Death after death [IMG].
Some of course could not accept this so easily. Six people allied and tried to push back all evil to the castle - grunt, bisnar, doomhammer, david, rozllort and morbent [IMG] [IMG]. They succeeded in freeing the village but, a few sacrifices had to be made. Some of them died during the great battle between the evil creatures of Black Death. Grunt and rozllort had fallen [IMG]. Thirsty for revenge, revenge for their dead brothers the other four started a quest against the evil of Black Death, to the castle, where the royals - Misha, Vengeancekael (the royal wizard), HappyTauren (the general of the castle) and Ralle hid. Morbent believed that they could be freed, freed from this evil that had taken over their hearts.
However, only three of them took the road to the castle, bisnar, as the group decided, had to stay in the village and organise all people to march against Black Death [IMG]
(Those aren't all the pictures Dave, I have made some other but they still don't fit in the story, I need to make more and put them in between them :\)
