Part III: The Cursed Chain (Second Mayor Conflict)
Races: Renmei, Cave Troll, Demon, Rashketau, Undead, Vruug, Emtlanders, Monks, Groin, Ratman.

With Maghor defeated and weakened for a while the Renmei empire was regaining ground and strength, they presumed they were out of trouble for a very long time. Unfortunately Somekind of magician that thought he was a prophet came and told the people that they had no chance against the demonic hordes of the Maghonian Order. He advised them to sail north to the uncharted lands and build a new empire together. Some believed that he prophet spoke the truth and a great group of Renmei fled from the Westlands to set foot on the Emtlands. With the Renmei forces now weakened some believed that they should stick together but other thought they should take they’re lives in own hands. And again a big group of Renmei left they’re homeland because they didn’t trust the Royal Order with they’re lives. They set up a camp at North Ebaedor and created a settlement called The Pirate Bay. Maghor who was regaining his strength from battle had to severe damage to go out and fight again or risk being detected or killed sent Death on a mission in the Westlands. Death’s orders were to eliminate everything within the Forest of Layidas and channel a deathcurse into the land. Death succeeded to reap the whole Layidas Forest and he and his forces advanced into the Westlands where they settled to finish the curse. It was then that he created the Corrupted Core to maintain the power of the deathcurse.
Meanwhile at the Emtlands the Renmei forces that had landed there established a base for an Empire and fought the Bau’erin for dominance of the land. After many bloody fight the Renmei who were now changed into experienced warriors, calling themselves Emtlanders, had conquered quite some land already and were ready to begin they’re dream. But the prophet had left them from the beginning and the leader of the Emtlanders had changed from mysterious prophet to Ugani a former Renmei General. One day his son Magna came to speak to him, he told him he didn’t understand why they exterminated the Bau’erin because they were nature loving creatures. Later when Ugani ordered his men to conquer more land to expand they’re Empire they met Magna and his followers In battle, after Ugani’s troops were defeated the king himself came with reinforcements and scared Magna and his followers away into the Frozen Tundra yelling to him that he was banished from his own kingdom. Ugani and his men traveled east to find only more frozen wasteland but at the end of it they discovered great grasslands which they would call they’re home. With magna as they’re leader they called themselves Monks and they’re appearance changed within time. Because they had no enemies they had the time to study magic and other secrets arts. The magic influenced they’re looks and they’re speech, in time they developed they’re own language and culture just like the Emtlanders.
In the time that the Emtlanders and Monks were developing the Westlands were in great trouble, with the great lack of troops many defenses were easily outnumbered by the undead and they slowly consumed the land. Desperate the Royal Order sent an expedition force to the Emtlands and asked the Emtlanders for help but they refused. On the other hand they got Ugani talking about the betrayal of his son Magna and the expedition went searching for him. They found the Monk empire and met Magna, who already had a wife and one child who was already grown up to be quite a magician. She was called Sarah Alaya with the surname of her mother (Monk women were the dominating gender because they’re generally smarter than men), she came up with an idea to stop the curse because she had been studying Necromancy and Summoning magic. They sailed back to the Westlands and managed to activate magic empowered generators all around the curse so it wouldn’t spread any further. The next step was to infiltrate into the undead lands and destroy the Corrupted Core from within the inside. Death tried to step them but was overwhelmed by the magic the Monks were able to wield and he had to retreat and fail his mission.
Maghor who regained his power landed on Deimosh with the plan to exterminate the Renmei once and for all. With Layidas already conquered he could summon a portal without being interrupted. The magi syndicate was onto it and rallied everyone to fight one last time trying to end Maghor once and for all. Presuming this was the final battle the last Renmei forces rushed to Layidas to fight the demons and close the portal. Within the heat of battle Merur faced Maghor, Merur was still out for vengeance on the demons who killed his mother and father and believed that killing Maghor would mean the end of all demons. Maghor who was way stronger than Merur was defeated and killed despite his formidable power. A huge explosion tore apart the sky and sunk half of Layidas into the ocean, flames devouring everything in they’re path and lighting striking down upon the earth. Maghor was dead, but high in the sky a great shadow formed and began to get shape. The voice a Maghor which sounded like thunder spoke to all beings on the earth that he would curse this planet for defeating him. He split his soul into 5 shards which would awaken the greed in man and would make them distrust each other and finally wage war against themselves. Would Maghor’s death make the world be a better place?

Part IV: Shards of Power (Third Mayor Conflict)
Races: Renmei, Cave Troll, Demon, Rashketau, Undead, Vruug, Emtlanders, Monks, Groin, Ratman, Vulgarian, Shruu.

Part I: The Filth Down Below
However to defeat Maghor Merur had the power of thousands of magicians channeled within him before he released the final blow. Merur went into a frenzy because his body, which was only human, couldn’t sustain such heavy magic in such big proportions. Without being able to think clear he went out to leave Layidas and killed every living bystander that still stood on they’re feet after the explosion. For hours he walked true the burning and half-sunken woods now crawling with half-dead magicians and demons still fighting for they’re lives. Then suddenly he had no power left in his legs to walk further and he fell onto his knees. It was then that a crazy idea came to his mind, his body was suppressing the power which had been given too him, but if the power wouldn’t get out it would tear him apart from the inside. And so driven by madness Merur decided to fight until all the power was cleansed from his body. He couldn’t even tell if his enemies were Renmei or Demon he just rampaged true everything he encountered and used all his force to kill and shred. But then he was captured in something what looked like a glowing net and he heard voices and strange noises around him. He saw a bright light and then the noises began to be clearer and he could see again and hear again normally. Until he realized he was in the courthouse of the Magi Syndicate he didn’t suspect anything. Merur was caught by the remnants of the Magi Syndicate and the army of the Royal Order, he had been butchering whole towns and villages true the madness. He couldn’t even remember it to be days, just hours. But seemingly he had been passed out and the magic powers took all control of his body, however the mages of the Magi Syndicate where not able to drain all magic out of his body he was sentenced to be imprisoned in Arcadon for his deeds. Arcadon which was now not only a prison to hold Arcanos was now assigned to be a prison for the most though criminals. Merur got locked up, his weapons and equipment were taken away. And he was ment never to see daylight again.
In the meanwhile Merur was brought away the Royal Order began a huge restoration campaign to restore the land. Now that Maghor was dead there was no chance the demons would just attack unorganized. The Royal Order was right because there were not demon attacks anymore. After the big restoration life was going on as usual within the Renmei kingdoms, the Royal Order was reassembled and the Magi Syndicate would see to it that new magicians would be trained and Ksapultor and all other cities would’ve been restored from any damage. However when the last restoration job was going in progress, the restoration of Ksapultor, and some people went down into the sewers to fix some drains because they were broke. They were attacked by rat-like humanoids. Soon they turned out to be Renmei civilians who had fled into the sewers during when the unseen attacked the capital. Now hundreds of years later they seem to have lost themselves in the endless labyrinth the Royal Order calls the ‘Royal Sewers’ and by time they have been mutated into Ratman.

----

This part is not done, unlike the other parts SoP is much bigger and its divided into different parts. If you look at the 1th post you can also read a little change and addition to the 3th part. And i don't know if you are paying attention, but if you have you can notice that there are some big chances in the storyline because these are rewritten..

Part IV: Shards of Power
Races: Renmei, Cave Troll, Demon, Rashketau, Undead, Vruug, Emtlanders, Monks, Groin, Ratman, Vulgarian, Shruu.

Part II: Unity of Enemies
Merur was still held inside Arcadon and didn’t like it at all, years passed by while he was imprisoned and many things at the outside world changed. So was it that an ancient race, the Vulgarian that are Bird-like people, awoke from they’re slumber and met the Renmei. They were a neutral race, who preferred not to interfere with the war between the Maghonian Order and the Humana Alliance. They joined forces with the Cave Trolls and called themselves the Uroferian Council. While the Vulgarian were busy introducing themselves to the world Death and his minions were just to begin a new plan. Because they’re leader Maghor was dead the Maghonian Order was left without a main leader, death took his place. His plan was to bolster they’re forces and restore the damage the last wars had done to they’re lands. Also death was aware of 4 temples left by the Lords of the Universe in the Kingdom of Death. These temples contained deathorbs which contained the power to create new entities and that was a part of Death’s plan. However the valley in which they were located was crawling with disobedient dead and they had to cut they’re way true an army of bones to get there. When they collected the artifacts they started a summoning ritual to create a new entity named ‘Grimm Azulritas’. Grimm was also called the Angel of Death, he always wore a cape to hide his face and had to black wings on his back. The rest of his body seemed to be some strange dark floating liquid with a permanent armor attached to it, Death called Grimm his son.
The Vulgarian people were told by the Renmei that some Emtlanders once crossed Selarius swamp from the shores to the other side of the land but never came back. The Vulgarian insisted to search for they’re missing brethren only be caught into the storms of the land the Groin called Grionier. The Groin who were smaller than Renmei but much more muscular and had a vaguely pale gray skin and dark blue eyes were mutations of the Emtlanders who had once been lost in the blizzards that raged amongst they’re lands. They saved the Vulgarian scouting group from freezing to death in a blizzard and told them that they didn’t remember anything about the outside world. The Vulgarian and a few of the Groin left to seek out the Renmei again to introduce them to they’re new looks. Scientists were astonished, they knew that the monks and highlanders has evolved trough magic and harsh environment but the Groin seemed to have totally mutated into what seems another race. After a long introduction the Groin pledged alliance to the Humana Alliance and the Royal Order. However while these happenings occurred the banished demon necromancer Gornakh saw his chance to reach Arcadon and free Merur from his prison for reasons he wouldn’t tell him. To ensure they would not betray each other they made a pact, if one of them would die the other would die too. Bound by this magical pact they managed to escape Arcadon and even took Agathi ‘The Frozen Prince’ with them.
When they set foot on land near the Pirate Bay Agathi disappeared and left them together. Both couldn’t really get on with each other, mainly because Merur had no idea why Gornakh had freed him and Gornakh needed him to corporate. Without any knowledge of what had been going on Merur followed Gornakh to Spirit Isle, on the island Gornakh finally explained why he had freed him. He told him that he had betrayed his own kind, the demons, and that he knew that Merur hated the demons as much as he did. He also knew that Merur sought power strong enough to defeat his enemies, and he could give him that power at a price they had to work together. He had a suggestion that they could fuse together, Half-Demon and Half-Renmei, with combining they’re powers they would become one stronger entity. Sadly the only force to fuse they’re bodies was in the temple of Spirit Isle, the ancient rite, a magical artifact left by the ancients that would grant wishes but only if you made a huge sacrifice. What the duo didn’t knew was that Grimm and Death were also rushing towards the temple to absorb the powers of the rite to become stronger. Merur and Gornakh managed to get there but were already to late, the rite had been drained from power already and it only contained a little bit left to exist. The rite spoke to them, he could grant they’re wish. But Merur had to give up his own people by doing so, by that time Merur didn’t quite understand who were ‘his people’ anyway so he agreed. Gornakh and Merur were fused together to become one, and after the wish was granted the rite began to pulse and vanished. The island began to shake and sink to the bottom of the sea with all the runepeople still on it. Merur had sacrificed his own people to unite with one of his greatest enemies. As Merur stood on the deck of his tiny sailing ship watching the island sink, he realized he had just left everything of his former life behind him. To start a new life…


____________________________________
And with this story also comes a new legendary item

Matriarch: Also named ‘Deathmother’ the sword Matriarch can only be summoned by Grimm Azulritas. It is said that the sword which is surrounded by permanent darkness is immolated with antimatter created by Nagharu himself. However Grimm is only able to summon the sword when he has fed himself with a decent amount of souls. Matriarch can also be summoned by extremely powerful black magicians, where the sword comes from has never been discussed. Some magicians presume that if you could break the barriers between reality and imagination you could seek out the sword and wield it permanently.

Part III: And Angels Rain

In the meanwhile far away from Merur and his shattered past was a conversation going on between the Rogue Demon Council upon The Spire at Thelanoris. The rogue demons, which fled from the Maghonian order because they believed that there was no use to slaughter all the humans and do the lords bidding because they thought the lords would vanquish them afterwards the job was done. So they fled to ‘the other side’ also named Thelanoris. They had many operations running to get away from everything and start a new life somewhere else amongst the universe. Now, they were discussing they’re final resort. How would they reach they’re insane goal without having to sacrifice everything they have? Then suddenly one of the council members came up with the insane idea of setting free Arcanos. He suggested to break him free from the magical generators who suppressed his magic and made him unable to use his own powers. However the generators keep him from death and destruction they also seemed to increase his power overtime, and after all this years he should’ve reached god-like power. They were told by they’re secret shape shifting demon agents who had the ability to disguise as humans. The demon council agreed that the plan was kind of insane and if it failed they would lose everything and they’re goal would not be reached and everyone would die in vain, but they were willing to take the risk and to see it as a last resort. While the demons prepared themselves for they’re mission the Royal Order was also having a meeting because the king of The Westlands died yesterday of old age. They were discussing who should be the new king, the kings son had died in the conflict with the unseen and his wife died a few years before him. There was no option than crowning the kings right hand, Malryius Decatus, to be the new king of The Westlands. The ceremony would take place the next day. Grimm Azulritas, the Angel of Death, had heard of the news and rushed towards the Ksapultor Capital with the goal to posses the new king. By channeling his own spirit into Malryius, Grimm left his own body and took control as the new king without anyone knew what he was up too and who he actually was. Merur and Gornakh were planning to try and open a portal into the black realms, to retrieve the sword Matriarch how crazy it would sound they somehow opend a strange black portal which seemed to lead nowhere. However when they tried to get out the portal closed behind them and they were trapped in a unknown realm. The Rogue Demons of The Spire had already reached Arcadon, and had started they’re mission to break the barriers who held Arcanos from using his power. But Grimm and Death were also up to something, the plan was to posses the king, which they already did, and then to get Death and his companions into The Westlands to gather bones for the resurrection of Maghor. They had figured out that they’re master could never be revived at full power again, but they had an idea of gathering a great amount of bones and then resurrecting Maghor into a skeletal form. After that it would only be a matter of draining power to retrieve his former strength and he would be reborn once again. However the Royal Order came after they’re plans and rebelled against the king, with Journy Coper leading the rebels against the hordes of undead who had already infested the sewers and scared the Ratman ever further into the ground. But the Renmei seemed to have no chance and were banished from they’re own capital, and amongst the Westlands people were getting slaughtered to serve a bone material for death’s resurrection ritual. And when everyone thought things couldn’t get worse, the Rogue Demons freed Arcanos from his magical barrier. Arcanos looked up, and started to examine his body. He looked at the door which he had been staring to so many years, hungering to break that door he finally lifted his hands. And the whole world was shrouded in darkness, and Arcanos smiled…



Okay, here it ends. Im not writing the story further now anymore. I will just be working on the world and legends etc. from now on.

Xzen-Quadron: The sword of infinity, also called. The sword has never been found, it is told be a green energy sword which can only be found true portals into the unknown. There is also a legend connected to the sword that it would have the power to fuse with two other swords of great power and become the mightiest weapon ever known to man. The sword however has never been found and is presumed to still remain in unknown realms, what these realms are? Nobody has a clue, it is destined that it would be found by accident. And that it could be used to change the world forever.

Realm Slasher: A legendary wand that if we can believe the stories, has the power to cut true the air and reveal a portal into another realm. Totally random the presume, the Renmei believe that the Ancients created Realm Slasher to travel to other realms to take care of other business. It could also be used as a weapon to banish organisms to another realm.

Titomius: A tome which is said to grant the reader eternal knowledge, the reader can think of any subject and the book changes into the subject the reader wants. And it provides every small detail around that subject, it is found In the Eternal Bookshelves, but due to that place being a total mess and a maze nobody has ever found it. Or found it alive. Some say that the tome is guarded by ancient traps and that only someone who would not use it to cause chaos but use the knowledge for development and prosperity.

Ravenfel: Ravenfel is a sword that can be obtained by fusing the three powerful swords imbued with magic. If Ravenfel is summoned the wearer will be corrupted by its power, and Ravenfel with take control of the body. Turning the wearer into a vicious killing machine, like a parasite the power of the sword will infest the body and tear it apart as it shreds his enemies until the host is destroyed. However some people think only a few swords can cause the creation, it is now known that any combination can cause it so its actually not a real legendary sword but Somekind of magical recipe. One thing is sure, the one who possesses Ravenfel will be able to fight Arcanos in a fair battle.

Here are some new items ^^

The history of the sword 'Xzen-Quadron' has been updated, read the 'Xzen-Quadron Legend' part.

Xzen-Quadron: The sword of infinity, also called. The sword has never been found, it is told be a green energy sword which can only be found true portals into the unknown. There is also a legend connected to the sword that it would have the power to fuse with two other swords of great power and become the mightiest weapon ever known to man. The sword however has never been found and is presumed to still remain in unknown realms, what these realms are? Nobody has a clue, it is destined that it would be found by accident. And that it could be used to change the world forever.

Xzen-Quadron Legend: There once WAS a fourth lord of the universe, he was called Quadron. Quadron did not posses the power to create unlike his brothers, he presumed his goal was to destroy his brothers’ creations and kill them in battle. However, after some confrontations the other three lords managed to capture Quadron and curse him. The curse turned Quadron into a sword, also called a ‘Xzen’ in the language of the Lords of the universe. That’s why the name Xzen-Quadron is given to the sword, it actually means ‘The Sword of Quadron’ or ‘The Sword Quadron’. The sword is still possessed by the entity Quadron so anyone who will wear the sword will see his own body token over by the lord. Quadron was a very destructive and evil lord, so it will be a very bad situation when someone finds the sword.
