The Forging of The Rings

 

 

“Four rings for the children of Horen whom are destined to die and two rings for the children of Malin to whom shall succumb. Three rings for the children of Krug whom are destined to be enslaved but three more to the children of Urguan whom are destined to perish. One ring forged to rule them all, one ring forged to enslave them all.”

 

The fires of an ebony forge crackled as bright as the light that permeated the vast expanse. The entity working the forge wore an armor most black and most foul, his pale face glistened under the heat of the forge and bore an insidious smile. His hammer struck against a metal alloy, with each blow bits and pieces split from the metal and fell into the forge beneath. With time, the bar of pure mage gold was no more having been shattered and melted into the flames beneath the lord’s feet. He drew from the flames beneath him and molded the fiery substance in the blackened molds he had provided, each ring that was forged bore different characteristics but each had more potential than the last. Alas, the final ring was forged from the blackened ash and soot of old. The smith held the one ring up to the dark ceiling above him and glanced at it’s ebony perfection, dark and terrible symbols burned into existence on the ring’s surface but faded into non-existence as soon as they had appeared. Although mundane, the other rings soon followed for they were now bound to the one ring but never so that the wearer would be. Albeit mundane, they would become the harbingers of his vengeance upon the world. Too many times had he been betrayed and too many times had the leaders of men failed him.

========================================================================================================================

Over the course of the following days, the black knight would create all manner of blackened weapons and armor. He would ride out on a dire steed and deliver the accursed gifts to those he sought to destroy. Although mundane, they will suffuse the gifts in their arrogance and pay the most dire of prices to do so. He would do more then just give gifts however, for he needed an army to accomplish his goals.. One trained by him and him alone. The dark knight slipped out of his armor and returned under the guise of an adviser. He was ready to give the fourth ring of men to whoever was foolish enough to accept his services. He would go on to manipulate the fool and adopt his lineage into his ranks, for they would aid him in the great hunt to come. The fragment would be his, for with it lay the key to finally forging a weapon most foul. The gods of old will perish just as Setharien once did, but not by the hands of a lance or sword but by something completely unexpected.
========================================================================================================================

 

Yet, much remained on his agenda. Those who would meddle in his schemes stand under the banner of the dark and the light, they meddle in the affairs of men yet remain distant to their gods, this distance would be the death of them. The knight of old had prepared for such an interference.  In the end, they would fight over the light’s tear and perish, they would have it stolen from them and the fragment shall be made one with it only to be violated by forces most foul to be made into a weapon of the void.

 

"Just as there was a creator, there must also be an end.. A great destroyer to undo the great ordering of the known universe. If he could not be that destroyer then he would bring one upon the world for such was his destiny. The world will come to know his strength.. And fear it."

 

[Archbishop 1784]

"A one man cult who don't even show their face publically is no threat to me." says Ser Felix.
