Tops reaching up in the sky so high you'd say they touch the clouds. The layer of trees underneath, supporting and feeding the giants in their own beautiful way. Water streams rich and often occupied by a big variety of animals.

And dwarves.

Darnaron, the dwarven nation reached far beyond these places of magic and peace. It was their property by law but the dwarves didn't tend to go their much. Rather they hop to the nearest inn and order ale or dwarf spirits getting boozed to the climax of the evening's fight.

But the nation resided good and the nation fared good. No wars for over forty years already (is that ok?). But taking a closer look it shows that the residents of the nation (80.000-1.000.000) are no longer looking forward to a climax. It seems their faces grow longer day by day.

The news of the elven defensive work to keep bay the black ones hit home. Now these dwarves were not elven friends but they were not their enemy either. And the dwarves could always find the skill in fighting of the elves to be respected.

The fight had been aweful.

Talek, King, High Warchief and sorcerer of some kinds received the news from the bigger nation of Dralwora far to the south, near the frostlines. The four remaining nations had heard by now too.

If there is such an enemy out there again then it is time to prepare for battle, always. Crush the usurper, watch your back, same old song.

Talek, almost 600 now, was getting old and he would not be able to hold an axe or a sword anymore. His son Parun, the prince of the nation, now almost two hundred and fifty years of age, made it good in life. But he was not near. On calling to the less big nation of Aranlo. Really nothing but a visite to his parents in law.

His wife, the princess now, was stilll in Darnaron. Awaiting their first child. Which will be born around the same time Parun returnes.

'What will this earth throw in our faces now?!' Talek spits as he throws down his pen. He had enough of it.

It was time to go to bed.

((Anything good? And if so, enough for others to stretch and add it?))

((Only Parun is another character I want to control myself, if that's okay.))

And some rulez as posted By Sil

Rules for members:
1. Please say mean things! But, when you do/say, make sure it's in the Role-Playing Voice (RPV)
2. ...but please don't use RPV to 'get personal' with the 'real' person behind the voice....
3. Add a smily to help us remember why you're really likeable and welcomed and why we'd be mad to exclude you

e.g. Beware Elf-Bane - lest we smite you with Elf-Verse ie. Welcome Tenzhi!
4. It's all for fun
5. Remember to 'forget' insults - and most importantly
6. ENJOY yourself.

Inspire us.

DM-ing Standards

1. If I am not involved in the Melee, and you are an Attacker -

You get one full round attack only on Thread Owner - then

a. Time Freezes until DM Returns. This is called my Right of Reply Request (RRR).

b. Non-enemies may continue to post, but only at Attackers IF they are present!!!!! (gives baddies a real chance)

2. If I AM on-line, you may launch multiple posts if you are an enemy. If it gets too messy, then, I will temporarily HALT PLAY until a ruling is made. These two things are called an On-Line request (OLR).

3. I may completely freeze all enemy assaults into the Thread, if I need to do stuff in the *real world*.

This is called DD mode (Defender Defined).

4. Attackers & defenders you can't REVISE OLD ATTACK POSTS!!!!!!!! Editing is OK when we are not in melee.

5. All Allies Have REAL Power Here over the Narrative!!!! When I am OUT - ANY ALLY IN MY HALLS MAY DM when I am NOT here.

If any two of you e.g. Zollex/Deepwood/Ocry/Tanrinia/Tigernach/JoyLynn are all here, post an OoC note to alert all present who is Acting DM.

Mighty DM - you have EXECUTIVE control over the Story, when I am not here. When NO DM is present - points 1 - 4 apply apply.

To the 'Baddies' remember, you are the Attacker in Half-Elven lands here - so your monsters are outsiders. And I am DM here - when necessary.

Guidelines only necessary if thread gets "messy".

The Limits of Guidelines

1. They only operate on this thread.

2. Deepwood, Kevmann, Grimclaw have Executive Function on their threads. As does any Thread Owner.

These rules will make the game more thrilling, because there is a real chance of success versus failure for both defenders and attackers.

........hard coded, Read Only Memory (ROM), embed an outcome in stone.

It ALSO GIVES BADDIES LIMITED ACCESS TO THIS THREAD! L-I-M-I-T-E-D.

A large man, with coal black armor, comes into being infront of the great dwarven stronghold.

"Hail, great dwarves, I am named Kevmann, leader of the humans! I offer our hand to you with alliance and peace, so that the great dwaves and grow with humans, and together we can reach a new age of prosperity among our races!

What say you, good dwarves!"

OOC: Oh yea, you may want to post on the main one land thread, that way everyone knows who you are and you can announce your presense!

The day was slowly dawning as Parun was getting ready to make his soldiers sweat another day. The prospect of war got the dwarves fired up wherever and whenever.
But before the actual training of that day began Parun was making his way to the nation's stone. The stone which foresaw every one dwarf of his rightful heritage, the spirits of their gone family and friends linger nearthe stone, keeping it shiny and neat at all times.
The stone was shining it's rays unto the rocky lands surrounding it. Here at the foot of the Dalin, the stone mountain, Parun stood with his hands upon the slab of stone. He could feel the energies of his grandfather flow through him and talk to him, speaking of currage and pride. Making Parun feel better about himself, and making him able to step into battle fearless and clear minded.

His hands on the stone felt as if not part of his body.

Long has it been since a threat as big as this one has visited our nation.
Even longer has it been for me to participate in one, making sure the evil ones fall down by my axe. (sleep tight Kevvman:D )
Cherish these moments of peace son.
Soon they will be no more.
Talek, my son, will not be king forever.
His time nears.
And you must be our new king.
There is no choice.
Lead our kin to their victory.
Know that the humans and the elves can aid you in your quest.
Seek out those among us known as hero's Parun.
My eternal pride rides with you.
Now prepare my son.

Parun took his hands from the stone and as always he watched them as if examing an unknown object which had just fallen out of the sky. It were just his hands he saw. Just his hands.

'Did you hear what you wanted to hear Parun?'

The son of the king turned on his heels and smiled warily.

'I did and I did not,isn't that typically the stone.' It wasn't a question and his friends knew it.

'Take good care with the advice given you, the words are ment only for you, use them wisely my friend.

'I will Sarno, I will, thank you. But come now, it is time for us to begin the training sessions for the men.'

The human l;eader who calls himself Kevvman stand in front of the gate and asks to enter and start an alligance.

Talek had a good mind about this.

'Do not let the stranger inside our nation before he can prove to me that we can trust him. I want full observers on every inch of the wall in case he draggs with him the demons from some netherworld. Also I want two trackers to sneek out and look for any other signs of humans outside our borders.'

General Kahn walked up to the gate and directed his words at Kevvman.

'Human, our king is willing to forge an alliance IF you are able to prove your goal is a good one. How you do this is up to you.'

With that the general immediately backed up.

'The enemy holds behind that hill over there men!'

'We know they have in their possession, two scorpions (siege weapons which hurl great trunks), several archers who may be able to shot down the small number of engineers we have here with us and some forty to sixty warriors.'

Parun eyed his friend Sarno and nodded. Sarno crossed the training grounds and perceived that every warrior among their ranks was fully trying to get the best out of this ugly situation.

'Make up four teams for me! Every team takes with them 2 engineers, the other two stay behind and act as runners when things get critical. Is this understood?' Without waiting for an answer he continued.

'Team 1 makes way across these foothills over here. Team 2 I want to see you sweat and make the enemy believe there are six hundred dwarves coming at them. Team 3 and four follow me, we sneak around for a surprise party. Watch out for the arrows!'

Two of the warriors stepped forward, so doing, asking permission to speak. Parun nodded.

'Sir, with all do respect, this plan has absolutely no way of succeeding if we do not have the proper amount of backwatchers. We also need volenteers to scout the area before the hill. Maybe there are traps positioned.'

'If we sent scouts to look for traps we willlose them, you know that don't you?'

'Yes sir I do sir.'

'Then go yourself, you hereby volenteer for the action. Take your mate here with you and scan the grounds. We will watch your backs.'

The two warriors grumped loudly and many of their brothers in war laughed at the sight of them. This may be a training mission and none of them will die today but nonetheless, there WAS a real enemy lurking behind the hill.

The other half of the special army of Daranaron lured behind the hill with flat arrows and half broken siege weapons, awaiting their comrades as they attack.

The two scouts were already halfway when a shout was heard from one of the trees to the east of the 'enemy hill'. Parun and Sarno smiled as they already knew what was about to happen.

And it did.

Two arrows sped from the trees, hitting their marks clearly and withour flaws. The two 'scouts' went down immediately, screaming in pain and touching their legs where tomorrow will be a big bruise.

It didn't take too long before the two made their way back to their camp and humbly told their captains that they acted stupid...

[I]A flash of Azure incandescence flares into the night sky.

The melodic cadences of Silmarien's voice radiates with the PluriPotency of the Peredhil....her Rune Cloak is incandescent - and echoes the potency of the Elven Song.

After her sudden Arrival in Dwarven Lands, she extinguishes the Verse...and resumes a normal aspect.

Long did she consider this action before coming to the Dwarven Nation.

She comes carrying mighty Gifts - and great hopes of a better future between Elf and Dwarf. She looks around at this world full of stone and wonder.

She calls out "I wish to speak with the Ruler of These Fair Lands."

Sil & Kevvman, I'm really sorry but I have been very busy these couple of days and I will be for a few days more. Then when I'm finally back to basics and have the time to reply I'm flying to Italy for my holiday (2 weeks) I hope it isn't too much of a problem for you guys. When I come back I will be writing with full force and will make you proud of your new co-writer. ;)

Cheers,

Danny

The air ripples about the world, creating a reverberating voice that can be heard by all!

"Listen, those that live in the One Land! I am Kevmann, leader of the human civilization which now thrives here! I wish for the prosperity of the humans, and for all of the races! We humans wish to co-excist with the elves, the dwarves, the orcs, and the other races! Why would we wish any harm upon you? We want peace, we want every race to have a place in this world, were they can strive un-hendered! Come now, an off-shoot of the elves is intent on destroying us, I call upon all to see these people for who they truly are, warmongers. I have tried peace with them, and it has failed, so ban with me, people of the One Land, ban with me to suppress these people, and build a greater world for us all!

Sil & Kevvman,

I'm Back (Danny that is)

BUT..... I'm very, very busy so I cannot really promise to keep up with a tempo that you would like. On the otherhand I noticed that there wasn't a lot happening in my little dwarven corner of your One Land.

Any suggestions or questions ?

OoC: Welcome Back! You're not Mechail are you? I'm very confused. We don't need a 24-7 thing, many posters come and go at odd times.

There may be occasions where a short burst of concentrated posts might be in order.

I can provoke the thread's development, or you can lead. What do you prefer?

Mechail = Alvorn = Slaghtka = Danny, :)

I would like it to remain my 'domain', these dwarven lands.

But I think it's important that you guys let the big red storyline enter here once in a while.

Thanks for understanding.

Dark Elven Shadow Master

A portal opens in your mind's eye - where the Shadow Weave coexists alongside the Weave. The Dark Elven Verse Masters Commune with the Shadow Weave - at the Formeno Naure - and their PluriPotent Voice reverberates through the Shadow Weave - and you can hear the distortion of Sound within the sub-vocal space of your mind.

They threaten your psychic defences - for their Verse is not just Annihilation hurled at the Elves who they hate, but far worse because their Verse is an assault on your identity.

They speak to your inner Paradox - where your world is split in two - into "this" and "that". The exact point where you are undecided about all things.

They do not speak to the Outward Face of your psyche, or to the places where you are confident, but to the Hidden Face - where torture, abandonment, pain and shame lie locked in dark boxes far away from light. In this space - where are jealousy, spite, hate, silent resentment.

Shar's face appears before you - and she is smiling in greedy malice. She holds the Karstone in her hand - and she Channels its Whole Magic into the Dark-Elven Verse - strengthening the Drow's Song

All Throughout Realmspace - all throughout the One Land - Abomination - the Dark Mythal Strengthens, and that you see it Here - reveals the extent of the Amplification.

The Dark Elven Verse Master's Verse is Nigh Complete

The Elves will Fail their Halls shall Fall
See Stone Unravel and Maiden wail
The Earth to Rend and Will to Break
See you are Mine, your Will undone
No Hope for Life that you can Bring
For Shar and We are Here to Sing
That Elves' time has come and Hell On Earth
Is Here to Stay, Our Verse will First
This Day is Ours, the Elves shall Fall
See Towers Break, and Pride defiled
Despite is Yours, your Hate so Great
Your Wish to End all that You Make
Makes us Endure, and Aids our Gait
