Description

Living darkness looms before you, a shadowy mist rising from the ground, spreading out several paces in all directions, ebbing and flowing like an encroaching fog upon the ocean of a moonless night. The harder one attempts to discern what lurks within the mist causes the shadows to retract, tightening their grip upon the beast. It is only when one's gaze is averted that the shadows relax, a single amber orb flares radiantly as it burns through the darkness, its piercing gaze affixing itself to its prey. That brief moment reveals a slender face of utter darkness, so dark one can only describe it as being the absence of light itself. The mouth of the beast opens and closes slowly, as if conversing with some unseen force, revealing row upon row of obsidian, shark-like teeth. Slowly the shadows tighten their grip once again, tho not before allowing a glimpse of the lifeless orb that is his other eye, blackened and mirrored to the point that one might see their inner essence reflected upon its very surface.

Role

The Flight of Azzael

Added Fri Feb 7 18:34:19 2014 at level 4:
He came to, his mouth, ears, eyes and every other orifice packed
full of dirt. The blood that had been pouring out of his broken nose 
was dried to his face and chest, causing his robes to adhere 
themselves to his battered body.  The last thing he recalled was 
hurrying behind the patrolling scouts as they pursued a fleeing 
Dwarf when something took hold of his legs and down he went, 
consciousness fading. 

Looking at his legs he noticed a gnarly, black root wrapped tightly 
about them.  His hands grasped the root firmly as he leaned forward 
to unbind his legs, a pulsating sensation lurching into his body as 
visions of times long since forgotten screamed through his mind.  
The visions of shadows darting to and fro amidst an untamed land, 
yellowish orbs flickering in the unknown, staring back at him.  He 
saw shadowy figures dancing and shouting as they leapt to and fro 
within the midst of a raging inferno that tore through the heart of 
what once appeared to be a mighty city.  Deep in an untamed 
wilderness he saw the shadowy form of a tree rising higher than the 
rest, its roots reaching out and down into the deepest depths of the 
land beneath it.  Encircling the great tree, figures which seem 
almost translucent, as if spirits awakening from slumber, their 
features indiscernible, save one.  Perched upon the highest branch 
of the tree, a mischievous Imp peers down, its bony fingers 
reaching forth and pointing at Azzael, almost as if it had been 
expecting him...

A shrill cry echoes through the cavern, the sensation gone as the 
root releases its grip upon his legs, sinking back beneath the rocky 
earth.  He leaps to his feet and begins running for the nearest path 
to the topside that he knew of, the shrieking sounds of battle and 
death rising and falling in the air behind him as he pushes himself 
through a muddy tunnel and out of the cavernous Underdark.

The Cacophony of the Awakening

Added Sat Feb 8 18:06:12 2014 at level 11:
His life up until escaping topside had been that of a priest of the 
House of the Matron Mother.  Those who survived as a member of the 
healing arts were few and far between, thus the amount of candidates 
coming in was constant, as the vacated spots were filled.  It was 
never clear as to how many of these novitiates failed, vanishing in 
the night.  Many were merely slain within the tunnels while on 
raids.  Azzael suspected, however, that those who vanished 
unsuspectedly were perhaps not embraced by the same gods as the 
Mother.  Those that were still around had been chosen at birth, 
their minds and bodies molded to fulfill her every desire.

As he grew up, he would hear the hushed whispers of his teachers 
proclaiming that the boy was "off", something not quite right with 
him, as tho the prayers he channeled were tainted, the way they 
surged violently in potency to diminishing to near non-existence at 
times.  Azzael noticed this to be true as well.  When he stood naked 
within his chamber at night, unencumbered from the burdens of 
civilization, his mind raced, his thoughts pure as the cacophony of 
howling Imps overcame him, the feeling that anything was within his 
grasp, if he would just let go and embrace it.

His mind was made up, he would do whatever it took to free himself 
of this oppressive, unnatural state of existence, even if he didn't 
know what was waiting at the other end, it did not matter, only that 
there was something, somewhere, calling out to him, pulling upon 
every fiber of his existence.

The Gaping Maw of Deception

Added Sat Feb 8 18:20:13 2014 at level 12:
The plan of deception was quite simple.  People were always being 
lost when on patrol, devoured by the gods know whom or what.  He 
would simply bide his time, wait until chaos filled the ranks and be 
a bit slow with mending the wounds of those in need.

It just so happened that he had his chance to put his plan into 
action one fateful day.  Unfortunately, the plan fell into place 
better than he had anticipated.  Rounding the corner, they stumbled 
upon an injured Dwarven expedition of some sort.  Quickly the Drow 
scouts fell upon them, slaying all save one that bolted down the 
tunnel and into the endless black.  The Drow instantly bounded after 
him, vanishing from sight.  Had Azzael taken a moment to look about, 
he would have realized the Dwarven party had been mauled severely by 
giant claws of some form, but in his haste, he too bolted down the 
cavern.

The screams filled the air along with the gnashing of teeth and 
the scraping of claws upon rock at about the same time the root 
managed to entwine itself upon his ankles, hurling him to the ground 
and his mind drifting to the depths of the dark, ancient dreams...

Shedding the Burdens of the Past

Added Mon Feb 10 09:43:03 2014 at level 14:
He did what he could to survive topside, everything being unfamiliar 
and completely foreign to him.  Most of his time was spent darting 
to and fro along the fringes of what one might call civilization, 
always looking, listening, waiting for the opportune moments at 
which to dash in and steal a kill or two.  All the while, he 
continued to shed the old ways, the decades of subterranean 
servitude that had been instilled in him while under the ever-
watchful eye of the House of the Matron Mother.

His burden grew less and less by the moment.  The less the 
suffocating pall of society had upon him, the clearer the visions of 
the Ancients became.  He could feel them under his feet with every 
footstep, within the winds as he inhaled deeply and feel their 
surging life within the frigid streams he waded across.  All the 
while, the chattering of the Imp a constant in his mind, driving 
him, pushing him, but to where, he did not know.  Perhaps nowhere, 
perhaps everywhere, regardless of the destination one thing was 
certain to Azzael, whatever it was, he could feel it growing 
stronger and stronger as he worked his way outwards into the unknown 
depths of the untamed wilds.  He had found clues here and there, 
images of long since forgotten times hidden in the essence of the 
earth about him.  So strong was the call of the wild within him, 
that even touching something as mundane as a stone would set off a 
torrent of visions that he could do nothing but stand, mouth agape 
as the events of the past unfolded before him.

The Salty Taste of Power

Added Wed Feb 12 19:07:22 2014 at level 20:
He sat resting within an open air temple of a seemingly forgotten 
enclave, buried deep within the sheltered woods far from the beaten 
path.  His thoughts danced from idea to idea as he stared off into the 
shadows of the forest around him, pondering what mysteries lurked 
within, when suddenly a warm stream of bright, yellow urine slammed 
right into the center of his forehead.  He leapt up, staggered 
slightly and began wiping the urine off of his face as it ran into his 
eyes and down across his lips.  He was still trying to figure out what 
was transpiring when erratic sparks of electricity began dancing 
haphazardly about him before coalescing into a diminutive creature 
with a cunning grin, known also as Lyristeon.

Azzael had never stood before the divine and being before the Ancient 
Imp himself took all the focus he could muster to maintain his 
composure.  The conversation was brief and to the point, instilling 
within Azzael what he had felt many moons ago when that root first 
leapt up and lashed him to the ground.  That each day was to be lived 
as if it were the last.  Those who do so bow before no being, divine 
or otherwise.  The power of the Ancient Imp comes with a price, 
however, that one either amuses him in the deeds they do, or bore Him 
and have it stripped from them...or worse.

Without warning, the chromatic Imp imploded, leaving no trace save the 
caustic, lingering scent of sulfur.  Azzael grinned mischievously, 
forgetting about the urine that was still dripping down his face, he 
turned his sights towards the horizon to the east, where deep in the 
untamed wilds the Great Tree awaited his arrival.  He strode forth 
with the blessing of the Ancient Imp, that he might someday walk 
amongst the scourge of civilization, known simply, as the Outlanders.

Dance Monkey Dance

Added Wed Feb 19 05:55:03 2014 at level 30:
The first time they spoke, the Nightreaver gave him no hoops to jump 
through nor the usual mundane rigamarole that an ordered society would 
place upon its members.  He was simply set upon the unbeaten path of 
growth, of self-enlightenment, a journey the Ancient Imp could truly 
amuse himself with...or so he thought.

The thousand and one questions really set Azzael's hairs on edge, the 
Nightreaver telling Azzael to impress him with word upon word and yet 
when he attempted to regale him with the words of his deeds and 
actions, detailing the events as they unfolded, he was then told that 
he was too eloquent, that he needed to say what he needed to say in 
less words.  Basically, after being told to spew out his life's story, 
was then told he talked too much.

Azzael was disgusted with the creature that stood before him, he who 
was proclaiming that words were more important than actions, knowing 
full well that the Ancient Imp would piss in this fools eyes if he 
heard such things.  He was contemplating all manner of ways to deal 
with this monkey trainer, when the words, "I'll teach you everything 
you need to know to become the Nightreaver," rolled off of his tongue 
and lodged itself in Azzael's mind.

Azzael heard only one thing during the rest of the interrogation, 
everything else was merely white noise as he chewed on the idea of what 
it would mean to be the Nightreaver, how he would at last have the 
power and the strength to destroy everything the Matron Mother stood 
for, swallowing Teth'Azeleth in an implosion of roots and rock. The 
word that set him upon his next journey, the word that would bring him 
closer to what he sought, closer to the force that drove him, that 
invigorated his every step, was "Apprentice."

A Voice within the Winds

Added Sat Mar 15 16:21:21 2014 at level 40:
Time continued on and Azzael remained ever vigilant for a sighting of 
the Nightreaver, yet it never came.  He recalled that one fateful day, 
some countless years ago, when he stood before him, an apprenticeship 
presented to him that he hungrily accepted. Then as if an apparition of 
the spirits of the winds, the Nightreaver was gone, vanished into the 
shadowy unknown.  Azzael knew he was there, watching, lurking, waiting 
to see that his apprentice was making progress.  Which, in Azzael's 
mind, he certainly was. 

He skirmished with the defilers and saw to the aid of the Huntress for 
many a battle over many a years.  Some won, some lost, some he was not 
so sure how they turned out, but in his mind, a draw against them was a 
win, a chance for Thar-Eris to hold her own and surge back again when 
She was able.

Azzael continued upon his path, diligent in his undertaking, tho at 
times, he just felt like running wild through the woods, barefoot, 
shouting to the stars above.  Which he did, as often as the urge struck 
him to do so.  Feeling lethargic one day, he lay resting in the 
confines of a seemingly forgotten village, taking what he needed from 
the priests there when suddenly and furiously the winds began to whip 
around the place and in his ears he could hear the Ancients calling him 
out, calling him to run free once again upon the wild, untamed soil.

He heeded the call of the ancient winds and found them strongest beside 
an old stone from the times of the Ancients themselves, deep within 
some seemingly forgotten woods.  There, he was cheek to windy gale with 
the Ancient Winds themselves, who, after some time studying the curious 
Drow, found him worthy to begin his journey amongst the tree, as one of 
the notorious Outlanders.

Not only was Azzael pleased of his progress, but so too was the Great 
Imp, who upon seeing his young Drow progress upon his path, must 
certainly have been pleased, for he imparted upon Azzael a gift of 
deceptive force, drawing him deeper into the shadows of Thar-Eris. 

And so it was, Azzael found himself drawn closer to Thar-Eris, the 
Great Imp was pleased, and the Nightreaver too must certainly be 
pleased, for no word is truly a pleasing word.  Now that he was in 
place, the great game unfolding before him, he needed now to sit back 
and watch his work unfold while preparing for the next mischievous act to begin...

A Plan Unfolds

Added Thu Mar 20 14:01:17 2014 at level 51:
The plan, as he saw it, was simple. 

He would feed the Orc armies whatever trinkets they desired and hurl 
them relentlessly upon the Fortress, ravaging the City of Voralia and 
the surrounding villages as they stampeded.  He had already begun 
moving the Orcs into place, his time spent with the Orc they call 
Bloodaxe, whispered to be the scourge of the civilized, proved to be 
useful.  This was just the Orc needed for the cause. He was also not 
one to quarrel with those of the other Village, those with an intense 
hatred of magic.  Azzael had already begun to spread the idea of 
Chiefdom to the Orc, calling him chief every now and then, subtly.
The Orc himself now spoke of being Chief, of leading the army and 
growing it himself.

Now he could focus on setting the Villagers upon the Island as well as 
the Chasm, two foes the haters would gladly devour.  He had only brief 
dealings with the Drillmaster, the one they called the Venomous Viper 
of War, and none with their Commander, yet he was hopeful he could 
utilize their particular bloody talents.  He had already persuaded the 
Viper into assaulting the Fortress to drive away a pesky soul...this 
was merely the beginning.  As for the Chasm, well, Azzael had thus far 
dealt very little with the shadowy characters, only enough to know that 
whatever they planned for the the land was utter destruction, everything 
being devoured by the creatures they conjured from the gods know where.

That leaves only the Tribunes and Imperials to deal with.  Easily 
handled by those of the Refuge.  None of the branches will take offense 
to the relentless slaughter of any of these putrid souls, which should 
free up time for Azzael to make his way between the factions, ensuring 
the battle rages in his favor.

When the smoke wanes, the Villagers can fight one another and the last 
few holdouts of magi.  The Orcs can run wild and free throughout the 
lands, savagely feeding and terrorizing everything in their wake.  The 
only remaining issues to be resolved will be how long until we fall 
upon the Sunwardens and once they are ripped limb from limb, what is to 
be done about the Harbingers...

Iymvyll'tana: The Endless Scourge of Darkness

Added Wed Mar 26 20:01:42 2014 at level 51:
He had been lurking deep within a forgotten cavern, pacing about 
scrutinizing his next move, when all went dark.  He slumped to the 
ground upon his knees, head leaning forward and arms limp at his sides.

The sound of cracking and hissing encircled him.  He began to sweat 
profusely, his skin scalding to the touch.  The darkness twisted and 
contorted into a myriad of oranges and reds, the smell of burning flesh 
permeating the air.  Before him flames leapt to the skies, streaming up 
and up until they turned to thin strands of fiery red piercing the 
heavens themselves.  Men, women and children scattered, panicked, 
clothing and bodies set ablaze as the shadows lashed forth from the 
flames, entangling them in darkness and despair.  A child had made it 
to the gate of the city and lunged to safety out of the fiery inferno 
when a lithe, cat-like creature pounced upon her, taking her by the 
throat and shaking her violently before dragging her limp body into the 
shadowy unknown.

As he shifted his gaze upon the horizon, this scenario could be seen 
unfolding all about the land, as tho the black, shadowy orb had erupted 
at once with a cleansing wave of fiery wrath.  The vision proceeded to 
drift outward, further from the land he viewed until at last he was 
within the mists above, taking in all that lay before him.  There were 
no more towns, no more beaten paths for beaten men to trudge upon, 
there was only untamed jungle filled with untamed beasts.

Slowly he raised his head, amber eyes ablaze as a hushed whisper rolled 
off of his tongue, "Iymvyll'tana..."  The first and only time he would 
utter his name, for in the tongue of the Drow it meant one thing, a 
name that had been forgotten in the fall from Thar-Eris and the 
politics of men, which, translated into the common tongue, is  "The 
endless scourge of darkness."

A Roaring Voice within the Flames

Added Mon Mar 31 08:38:32 2014 at level 51:
He stood within the midst of the raging inferno as the howling winds 
hurled the fiery embers all about him, charring his flesh as they 
settled upon his body.  At first, he thought he heard his name being 
whispered within the midst of the destruction, he peered about, 
searching for whom or what could be calling out to him, yet he found 
nothing.  He continued to enjoy his handiwork, relishing the 
destruction when a roaring, cracking voice boomed out, "AZZAEL!"  He 
froze, exhaled slowly and whispered, "I am here."

In that moment, a wave of calm overcame him and he knew exactly who was 
speaking to him...and he knew why.  In his zealousness to destroy 
everything that posed a threat to the encroaching darkness of Thar-
Eris, he had become one of the things he despised the most, hope.  He 
had brought hope to the Orcs, given them the belief that there was in 
fact darkness at the end of the lighted tunnel, but in so doing, had 
become a crutch for them, just as the Knights he so despised were a 
crutch for the civilized that hung on to a dying way of life.  He had 
become so entrenched in his battle to see their Fortress torn asunder, 
that he found himself knee deep in Orc detritus and standing beside 
Tremblefist himself, keeping him alive as wave upon wave crashed the 
gates and were driven back, the Orcs growing stronger and bolder in 
Azzael's presence.  Yet, it was a false strength, a strength unable to 
be maintained without his enabling them.  In fact, all he had really 
done was weaken the Orcs, making them less and less able to stand and 
face the seething light of the Fortress on their own.

Azzael nodded slowly, a look of disappointment and rage flickering in 
his eyes as he whispered, "I understand."  He was disappointed in 
himself for becoming swept away in the chaos that was destruction. This 
was not him, he was more level headed than this and capable of 
formulating and seeing his plan through.  The rage that swelled up was 
one of newfound determination, of stepping back from what he had set in 
motion and allowing it to unfold upon its own.  He would continue to 
wage war upon those he deemed as enemies of Thar-Eris, tho he would see 
that his pulling of the strings was less obvious and more behind the 
scenes going forward.  For he truly believed, that the strongest weapon 
of all was fear, and nothing sowed the seeds of fear like the terror of 
the unknown.

Welcome to the New Age: The Rise of the Iymvyll'tana

Added Sun Apr 6 08:41:47 2014 at level 51:
Azzael's skin burned and blistered, his entire being writhed in agony 
as the Dark Paladin stood over him, its unholy weapon seething with an 
unnatural force.  As the beatings rained down upon Azzael, each 
vicious strike sent a numbing, disconnecting sensation to his very 
core, until at last he was brought to his knees, unable to do anything 
save bear witness to the next few moments of what would be the end of 
existence as he knew it.

As the Dark Paladin's final blow sunk deep into Azzael's crippled body, 
the cry of a thousand ravens burst forth as he watched in disbelief his 
very soul being ripped from him, stolen by the weapons ravenous grip.  
Azzael reached out with every last bit of strength he could muster, 
grasping hopelessly at the shadowy image of his inner-self being absorbed 
in the unnatural glow.  His breath grew short and the visions began to 
disappear from his mind as he howled forth to the depths of Thar-Eris, vowing
to finish what he had started, should She only save his devious soul this one last time...

A thunderous crack exploded all around and an immeasurable pain tore at 
every fiber of his body as the shadowy form of his inner-self was ripped 
apart.  Before his eyes closed and all went dark, he bore witness to 
what he could only describe as his soul being separated, part of his 
essence disappearing into that bastard's blade while the remainder 
lunged back into Azzael and then pulled him deep into the earth, 
leaving only the hollowed shell of his mortal self behind for the Dark 
Paladin to do unfathomable things with.

What happened next Azzael will never truly remember, for when he 
emerged, his mind had been wiped of all his days gone past, leaving 
only the beast that would emerge from the fiery depths of Thar-Eris as 
the true Iymvyll'tana.  His body itself had changed, shrinking in 
stature, his features becoming more prominent, from his smaller, 
pointier ears to his vicious shark-like teeth.  His voice was broken, 
able to speak only in short, raspy bursts.  The only thing that 
remained of his former self was one fiercely amber eye, the other had 
turned to a lifeless black.  

Whatever he had been, was gone.  What he was now was what he was meant 
to be, what Thar-Eris had summoned him for to begin with, to be the 
scourge of her darkest, deepest desires, to return the land to its 
natural state, a place of ravenous beasts and untamed wilds, free of 
the pox of all civilization, including every last Theran race... 
every...single...one.

The Nightreaver Emerges: The Burning Desire of the Iymvyll'tana

Added Wed Apr 9 20:20:51 2014 at level 51:
He took to his calling with a hunger matched only by the fires of 
Thar-Eris Herself, a desire to see all that was unnatural before him 
burn and laid to ash.  As it was in the days of the ancient darkness, 
for every moment of triumph, many souls must be consumed by the flames. 

So it was, and so it shall be. 

In order to see this through, he first had to devise a plan, one that 
would leave those unfortunate enough to be left standing beside him 
when the fires waned and the caustic smoke remained, mouth agape, as 
their final breaths escaped their mortal shells.

--First on his agenda, was building up the Reavers which had failed and 
been consumed back into the depths of Thar-Eris.  A new breed he must 
find, to nurture and grow stronger than any that had come before them.  
Priests, especially those who sought the mischief of the Ancient Imp, 
were of particular interest to him, as he found himself ever stronger 
in the presence of the faithful, and intended to feed the fires with 
their blessings.  The lifeless eye could see the inner-selves of all 
those it gazed upon, and now he turned it upon the Reavers.  Should 
what they see within themselves be also that which danced within the 
lifeless eye, then they too would find a hollow beneath the Tree.

--Second, he needed to deal with the Harbinger and his desire to open 
his arms to the Dwarves and Orcs that traipsed the countryside.  Not 
that they couldn't prove useful, in fact, to turn one as an example for 
others could indeed prove quite beneficial, but to open the way for 
them to flock in like chickens coming home to roost, was unacceptable.  
Each one must be watched, set free from the shackles of the civilized 
and then, and only then, would he consider either of the races as a 
means to an end.

--Finally, he needed to keep his own vengeful desires from hurling him 
into the oblivion of the fires that raged about him.  Time and time 
again had his lust for the destruction of the pox of the civilized 
hurled him into the fray, a seething lust to instill fear upon the 
living compromising his very nature, weakening him and drawing the 
wrath of the very fires he brought forth.  He realized now, that the 
only way to truly eradicate the ideal of civilization from those that 
still clung to it, was to be absolutely unwavering in his own 
beliefs...no compromising, ever.  Tho, what he says and what he does, 
well, that shall always be another matter altogether.

The Death of the Dark Paladin: A Glimpse into the Becoming of the Iymvyll'tana

Added Thu Apr 24 15:34:16 2014 at level 51:
It was a speck, a glimmer of wanting clinging to the back of Azzael's mind 
that when at last the Dark Paladin was consumed by Thar-Eris, what was 
taken would be returned.

This was not to be.  In fact, the moment he bled that last drop into the
gaping, hungry maw of the soil below, Azzael could feel that hope vanish
like the last fading rays of twilight, forever consumed by the darkness to come.

The conflict of manipulating the enemies of Thar-Eris had been resolved.
The Ancients deemed they would not corrupt their natures as a means to
an end.  The Orcs, Dwarves and all others shall be consumed by the fires of Thar-Eris.

This was pleasing to Azzael, allowing a long unsettling inner conflict
to finally burn away.  The fires of Thar-Eris do not discriminate which
lay before them, all that looms before them is turned to ash.

So it was and so it shall be.

His own inner turmoil gone, he had but one thing left to do, and that
was to build up his Reavers.  His thoughts on this were now also made
clear.  For as the fires of Thar-Eris rage and burn indiscriminately, so
too shall the Reavers grow.  All those who hold a burning desire within
to fan the flames of Thar-Eris, shall be welcomed to burrow beneath the Tree.

Like the fires themselves, those that are too weak to grow and burn,
shall be snuffed out by the lands...or perhaps a ravenous pack of
Reavers, either one, just the same.

Plunging the grizzly totem deep into the shadowed earth of the cavernous
maw, he placed his hand upon it, exhaling a slow, deep breath.  When he
inhaled, the shadows came forth, filling his lungs and consuming him 
from within.  Again and again he repeated this meditative breathing 
process, the shadows ebbing and flowing, reaching deeper with each inhale.

When he removed his hand, his amber eye flared brightly and the lifeless
eye shimmered dully, revealing the mischievous image of an Imp.  To gain
the Imp's favor was the last gateway to assuming the place of
Iymvyll'tana, and in Azzael's mind, this was what Thar-Eris summoned him
for, and why the Imp infused him with his powers of deception.

The Sting of the Gaping Maw

Added Tue May 13 01:01:53 2014 at level 51:
Standing before the Huntress, Azzael surveyed the shadows as they 
swirled about the tree, climbing up the trunk and enveloping the 
mightiest of limbs in their misty haze.  The smell of sulfur rose in the 
air, the fires of Thar-Eris building and raging all about, when amidst 
the sulfuric haze emerged the Ancient Trickster himself.

A stinging bite tore at his arm as a rank, green puss began to ooze 
forth. When he turned to examine the throbbing pain, a wide, gaping Maw 
was infused upon him.  Azzael's jaw dropped as the Maw grinned dubiously 
back at him.  Turning his blazing amber eye upon the Imp, he grinned 
mischievously as he felt the bond between he and the Ancient Trickster 
melding into one, the sulfuric mist pouring into his lungs.  "Enjoy," 
crackled the Imp, as he dissipated into the mists.  

As he stood there breathing deeply of the caustic fumes, he felt the 
last of his ties to the old thoughts burning away.  The oddities of his 
previous choices fading as a distant memory, all that was left was the 
sensation that he'd experienced some sort of recurring dream, one that 
one recalls from time to time like the tingling sensation of de'ja'vu.

The Contortions of a Gaping Maw

Added Wed May 14 15:19:50 2014 at level 51:
Azzael had heard the whispers of the Ancient Flames, yet he knew not how 
far he could push the devouring of the Wardens without being devoured 
himself by the Ancients that stood watch over them.

Slinking quietly into the Tree, he was about to find out.

Seizing upon a moment of weakness, Azzael lunged upon the disgraced 
giant Aael, kicking and chortling at him as he cursed his existence

The giant, even tho stripped of his heavenly insight, remained, fighting 
and crying out in desperation as to why the Nightreaver was doing what 
he was doing.

Azzael chortled dryly, feeding off of the giant's enraged and confused 
emotions.  The more the giant railed against his confusion, the wider 
the grin of the gaping Maw upon his arm.

The giant fell back for a moment, tho only for a moment.  Again he 
returned and Azzael pounced upon him.

A blinding ray of sunlight pierced the canopy of the Tree as the Ancient 
Greenhoof strode forth, putting an end to the Nightreavers mischief.

The Ancient seemed quite displeased with him, as he boomed angrily that 
no Outlander shall fall prey to another inside the Tree.

Azzael had found his answer. He needed to determine just how far he could 
push the insatiable hunger of the Reavers and not lead them to complete annihilation.

Soon the time would be upon them.  He had begun to work up a fervor 
amongst the Reavers, increasing their numbers and their hunger as he saw 
the shadows begin to coalesce about the Tree, tightening their grip as 
the raging flames swelled about it, burning away the sanctimonious 
detritus that clung desperately to the remaining branches still bathed 
in the dissipating light.

If the Ancient Fires wanted to see him cast off the last thoughts of the 
oddities that plagued him, then he would do so with a fervor unmatched 
by any save the fires themselves.  He would embrace the chattering of 
the gaping Maw upon his arm and become the conduit for the irrepressible 
flames that surged forth, ushering in a wave of destruction across the 
land unseen since before the time of the Forsaken One himself...

Past the Lips, Through the Maw, Lookout Stomach, Here She Comes...

Slowly he breathed, his lifeless eye flaring a blinding white as he 
focused intently upon the weed within the crack of the city's street.  

He could feel the life flowing within him, the seed from the Tree of 
Ages infused within.  Yet, time and time again, he failed to so much as 
nudge a plant other than by the gale from his dismissive gestures.

The reason for his newfound curiosity arose from having been dispatched 
upon a mysterious, foreboding task to acquire some relic known only in 
hushed whispers by the Ancient Fires to be the First Laws.

Somewhere along the way, the voices within lead him to the unexpected 
discovery of the petrified seed.  Passing it between Sivane and Koom,
they looked closely upon it, examining the life that oozed from this 
ancient, if not first, seed.  The Ancient Flames also broke the silence, 
whispering that it was likely something the Wardens sought.

Feeling unruly and growing tired of some secretive, manipulative force 
attempting to get him to work alongside the Wardens, he did what came 
naturally, he set the seed upon his tongue, grinned mischievously and 
swallowed.

51 207 Baerinika We sure are an orc's bitch! When questioned on it by other outlanders, he says this orc doesn't slave people. When Outlanders say...dude just attacked me with slaves, we pretend we can't hear.
51 210 Whiysdan I liked your role, and although you didn't win, I felt you deserved a small reward. Enjoy the lastname!
51 223 Whiysdan Titled 'the Affirmation of Orcish Life' to reflect their love of orcs.
51 223 An Immortal An Immortal added 400 exp for: Colorful, well written back ground on the meaning of his last name: The endless scourge of darkness
51 237 An Immortal An Immortal added 100 exp for: Found as having an above average desc on a random check by Ekaerok.
51 243 Strienat Had a little talk with him about his reliance on orcs and that they are slaves. Gave him some nudges to try to consider other options and what might happen if he makes changes
51 248 An Immortal An Immortal added 400 exp for: Well written entry about working so closely with the orcs that he has made them weaker by relying on his strength.
51 255 An Immortal An Immortal added 250 exp for: Finding the most pieces of cake in the early morning birthday hunt
51 270 Whiysdan Just noting here that I think it's poor form raiding with a goodie in a very coordinated (almost no RP involved) manner. I didn't take exp, only because you're evil and why not use a goodie? But no chaos here makes me sad.
51 300 Strienat You've kept it up and worked hard to try to make changes as asked. Congratulations on Nightreaver.
51 330 An Immortal An Immortal added 400 exp for: Update about his plans as the newly acting Nightreaver
51 397 An Immortal An Immortal added 500 exp for: Tattoo goodness.
51 488 Strienat When finding a item that the Wardens might need for a quest, he ate it and said: "Azzael whispers '...they shall have to follow me around for some time then.'" Very nice.
