| + | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | The [[character: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Zyllis has been around for thousands of years. Originally taking her first steps at the end of the [[time: | ||
| + | Its only the small things that keep Zyllis going these days. The journey between small towns, meeting people and assisting them with their problems. She doesn' | ||
| + | Her power is immense but she lacks anything worthwhile to protect. The moments of slaying a beast harassing a village to assisting repair an old mill all tend feel the same. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once a Strong willed hero, Zyllis' | ||
| + | Even after death she was brought back, Not allowed to rest. She died just before the death of her closest friend [[character: | ||
| + | |||
| + | After all she has been through, Zyllis comes off as cold and distant. Often blunt with few words. Yet despite this, slivers of her personality still shine through. She can be found sometimes playing a board game with the locals in the towns she travels, Chess is her preferred game but others are antiquate. \\ | ||
| + | After loosing //Sarren//, Zyllis came to regret the words not said, Though still finds it hard to say words just for the sake of saying them. \\ | ||
| + | She can never refuse a request for aid. No matter its size, fetching water from a well, slaying a threatening dragon, its the same to her when its aid to be given. Though Zyllis won't work for free. Payment is always settled before the task is complete. She will accept almost anything as payment. and old spell scroll, a few coins. a sturdy tool or a well loved story book. any and all is acceptable for her work. \\ | ||
| + | When she truly comes alive is telling stories. Its hard to coax her into one but when she starts, with a captive audience its hard to get her to stop. Those that know her today mention she only ever smiles when she is telling stories from her past. During war time Zyllis would often tell the young child refugees stories to ease their suffering even for a little while. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Zyllis has not always been a woman, Most would argue a construct such as her cannot have a gender. Yet her physical appearance would fool most. When brought back by the [[religion: | ||
| + | Standing over 7ft tall (2 Meters) with an exaggerated hourglass figure, Long solid tail and two hors protruding from the right side of her head. Her body is cool and dense to the touch like clay but gives and squishes slightly similar to flesh. her body is mostly a stark white in colour, like snow or white gold. while part of the right side of her body is stained with a deep purple corruption. Though today its only a scar of sorts as the corruption has ceased it advancement. Long air that falls to her waist, Tough its not natural, a form of the same substance that makes up her body but in different ratios. its far more solid than normal hair in comparison. Her ' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Her skills and strength in combat are astounding. Efficient with every swing and lethal in her dance of violence. a thousand years to learn her craft and a thousand more to perfect it. There is no foe that she will not face. But Zyllis has become so numb to the act of taking life its hard not to feel sad when watching her blade dancing with another foe, its as if the fight itself is a song of longing for release. How Zyllis envied those she brought down. \\ | ||
| + | She has renounced her Paladin Oath around the time of her exile. | ||

| + | Many years later a group of adventures managed to stumble into this same lair, their fight with the beholder awakened Zy from his stone prison.

| + | |||
| + | Machine? Demon? Monster? its not clear exactly what Zyllis is anymore but it all means he lacks the natural charisma of most mortals. What he lacks in social skills he makes up for in compassion and strength of will. He still hopes to protect those who cannot protect themselves though as he is now would anyone want him around? It seems [[character: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Zyllis was known for being on the frontlines of battle, First to charge and last to retreat. He would actively put himself in harms way to protect other soldiers and civilians alike. Those lost on the battle field he would personally put to a dignified rest. \\ | ||
| + | Zyllis had never retreated or backed down from a battle until that fateful day where he was brought before the leaders of // | ||
| + | |||
| + | Like most Warforged Zyllis is unable to sleep, Still needing rest but always conscious. The lonely nights seem to last twice as long so Zy spends the time playing chess, Reading books or communing with local guards who are on night shift. \\ The nights get lonely when you can never rest. he tries to keep himself busy often by playing his favorite game chess with other guards or swapping stories. Zyllis used to read books often, classic fictional stories about a prince saving a princess and other such stories normally reserved for children' | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Beginning** \\ | ||
| + | Zyllis, First known as Valefor. One of the three clay Warforged crafted by the fire giant' | ||
| + | Yet the Warforged did not, Curiosity and a sense of adventure filled the young Warforge' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Zyllis wandered, Not knowing who or what he was just the vague memory of a terrifying monster he had escaped. Finding a great city, lost and confused, The first city, his home city. Nabilhime. Among the mountains of the borders between what's now known as Oxtrad and Covania. The city built like a fortress, the roaring of the Fire Giant' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Raised and trained as a Paladin under Seril' | ||
| + | |||
| + | It was less than a decade before Nabilhime was invaded, Not by any country or guild but a cult, Monsters, A group of beholders commanding wicked beasts and inhuman soldiers. What they were seeking is still unclear but it was inly a day of invasion before the streets fell silent. The giants fled, The forges cold and Zyllis left alone. \\ Not strong enough to save Seril or the only home he has ever known Zyllis reached a low point. and its in these low points people are taken advantage of. \\ A sinister whisper promising power filled Zyllis' | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Blinding Spear** \\ | ||
| + | Though even after many years of searching Zyllis has yet to find the culprits behind Nabilhime' | ||
| + | Through Covania he made a name for himself as a strong warrior, wandering from town to town offering his skills and strength with no need for compensation. A natural leader, channeling his efforts in battle to always protect civilians and the soldiers that he fought alongside. Always on the front line, Willing to give his life for others. \\ | ||
| + | His reputation slowly attracted others wanting to join his cause. Through he would reject most due to lack of strength or commitment he did end up with a small group of elite members. So the group known as //Blinding Spear// was born. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Blinding Spear was well known during the //Ashlem war//. The efforts made by him and other members of Blinding spear were legends told throughout Covania' | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **After The War** \\ | ||
| + | After everything that happened Zyllis was a shell of the richous hero he used to be. Though he did not willingly, He did play a pivotal part in unleashing the Demonic hoards upon Mor-Thir, The Demon on the outside. \\ | ||
| + | His self confidence took a sharp nose dive as he questioned every decision he made. \\ Visions of the past haunted him, his time in Stowjaw, the blood spilled on the battle field. the soldiers he lost and the murders he committed. \\ Zyllis is wrapped by guilt and a shattered self confidence. \\ | ||
| + | Although much effort was spent trying to atone the nagging feeling of it all being fruitless gnawed at his mind, eating away his richous outlook until inevitably he lost himself. \\ Leaving a trail of bodies and broken families, running scared to no avail. Captured. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Exile** \\ | ||
| + | Even after everything Zyllis still managed to claw his way out of his pit. One last ditch effort, playing his trump card. Resulting in the outlawed species being amended but all members of Blinding spear past and present was exiled from Mor-Thir. \\ | ||
| + | Some time into their journey to Ostrov Zyllis was lost at sea over-night. nobody knowing where he went. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Next Chapter** \\ | ||
| + | Its currently unknown what caused Zyllis' | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Death ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the depths of the ashlem Rise Zyllis perished, a mercy after everything. But he was refused rest when the Forgotten God called Zyllis' | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ====Background: | ||
| + | |||
| + | **History** \\ | ||
| + | Blinding Spear and its members are wide spread knowledge, their work during the Ashlem war is told in song, stories and history, Not the main cause of celebration but a famous name nonetheless. \\ The names of specific members are less known then the task force itself. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Zyllis always seeks to gain a high authority in the government/ kingdom of the land he resides, working his way up the chain of command quickly with his skills and management as a leader. \\ Being as close to the leader' | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Relations** \\ | ||
| + | Blinding Spear was hailed as war heroes including all its members, it is also known for being the first on the lines to begin purging the outlawed races. to some this as seen as a true Hero, to others including Blinding spear themselves its seen as genocidal murderers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | //Memories of previous battles haunt my mind, as soldiers we are expected to kill when ordered as a smith is to hammer steal or a farmer is to harvest crops. But after being around so much taken life it causes terrible memories, i have been told i am blessed as i don't need to sleep i don't experience nightmares...but the hell that is the quite at the dead of night when all others are asleep....that' | ||
| + | |||
| + | //My team, my friends the soldiers I lead and lost, I committed terrible crimes against our honour....I don't blame my team, i was their leader and as the leader i must accept their mistakes as my own. and so it was my fault alone. we were betrayed by one of our own. instead of helping my team through the hardest time of their life's I abandoned them in a desperate search for revenge, as if it would cleanse my sins....but all it did was drown me in hatred. everything after my revenge was taken is a blur. the next thing i knew was slaying a beholder after waking from stone.// | ||
| + | |||
| + | //I don't see anything more important then the safety of the people, its who I, who we fight to protect. the land is just land, our leaders are not leaders without the people who we protect. I will always go to their aid when needed and will fight till my dying breath for their safety.// | ||
| + | |||
| + | //My Time in Stowjaw has been my key source of torment, its what it feeds on, its what i am abused by, its what no matter how hard i try i cannot suppress, forget or erase those memories. Any type of imprisonment starts bringing back the days i spent, the hot lashes, the chaining, the faceless wardens. Sometimes I wonder if the memories come to torment or to remenis...// | ||
