(WE ARE NOT UNDEAD, NOR DO WE WORSHIP IBLESS WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IBLESS IF THE UNDEAD WERE ALIVE AND IBLESS HERE WE WOULD BE FIGHTING THEM FOR POWER WE FOLLOW A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BEING THE ONLY THING LICHS WORSHIP IS KNOWLEDGE AND POWER.)

A year ago I was a dying man of ...six hundred years.. was it.. I do not even remember.. sitting in that forsaken tower.. at the end of elven lands.. dying alone... cursing my long lived life... but..I.. could not die.. there is so much I wanted to do read.. learn...But... No... I sought to defy death by magical means. I was once a wizard but I was unsatisfied with the level of power that I had I wished for longer life, and sought to unburden myself from the necessities of bodily functions so that I might dedicate every moment of my existence to the attainment of knowledge and power.

And so..

I knelt before my soon to be master.

It was agreed.

My soul was spoken for by the Dark Lord

The next breath I would take would be that of pain.

The next breath I would take would be that of unspeakable horror.

The next breath I would take would be the first breath I took holding my runestaff.

It was done.

In service of Dark Lord, I live for his honor.

I die for his honor.

Each time my runestaff rises our enemies,

He is glorified.

The Lich sat up abruptly on his concrete resting slab, both hands clutching the end of his ever-present runestaff. The shimmering moonlight occasionally struck the careful arrangement of blood crystals that decorated the staff. Occasionally it would illuminate the room in flashes of a foreboding red glow. The same reoccurring dream, or was it a nightmare, kept invading his rest each night. The lich wondered silently, for to utter a blasphemous word would mean his end, if he had made a mistake swearing service to his Darkness. He would never know, as countless times, and countless times again, he would kill in his name.

The Lich walked to the southern balcony, which was to the direction of their approach he looked down and saw his mindless minions. The silence before the storm was often comforting in a way.

After a few minutes, the sounds of footsteps approached. The Lich turned to see Lordea, a mage he had brought back, approach.

"Are you prepared for your first conquest Master?" he hissed the last word..

"A Lich is always prepared." The Lich replied with determination that bordered on rehearsed.

"Then make ready for your minions shall march in hour." The Mage did not wait for a reply as he left The Lich pondering events to come.

[Archmage_Cataris 622]

*Cataris sits alone, atop the large mountain, the snow blowing down from the skies as lightning erupts throughout the heavens above. A lone skeleton approaches him.*

"And who is he whom seeks me in my years of solitude?"

*The Skeleton's bones creak and crack as he tilts his head, responding to the ancient old man known as Cataris.*

"A brother, if you will, or those whom call me, The Dark One" *The skeleton replies to Cataris*

"All my brethren are welcome to join me. Tell me, friend, how are your travels?"

*The Skeleton does not sit, he simply stands, looming over the old wrinkled man*

"The time has come to burn Asulon to a crisp, such as you did in Aegis. Join me and get your revenge your heart yearns, think of your wife, your daughter.." *The skeletons voice seems to find pleasure in torturing the emotions of Cataris, mentioning his deceased wife and daughter. The old man simply sits there, his face hangs low as sorrow creases across his face.*

"Ka-Hooli demands justice and vengeance. Asulon will burn." *Cataris whispers in a hoarse tone*

*The skeleton laughs aloud, his bones rattling, he raises his index finger into the sky as lightning roars down from the sky and smashes into the old man, searing his flesh and bones. As the smoke evaporates, the old man now sits as a skeleton, his bones blackened and cracked, though he rises onto his feet, ready for the onslaught he will bring.*

Later..

*Cataris stands beside his brethren Lich, his iron pauldrons and iron crown adorned once more. They stand firm overlooking the mindless army*

[Sultan 3953]

-Snip-

The Dark One starts to chant, as he looks at Cataris old form, as he beings he hears Cataris join him, there rattling bones hum together.

Hail to Thee, in Your hate and might

gravely lurks the greatest fright

with Your curse and grace

doom is laid upon the race's

in the endless chains of wrath

and those who follow the path

Hail the Evil Lord of Darkness

who rule the hordes of faceless

in the land of fear and sadness

where the blood flows in blackness

through the dark groves of time

to make the wicked souls to die

soon when all is drown in sorrow

there will be no world tomorrow

Hail to Thee, in Your depth of will

fiercely hides the strength of kill

with Your hatred in the sight

undying army walks the night

to lay destruction upon the earth

bringing decedent's forth to death

Hail the Lord of All Tremblings

who fly the earth on deathwings

in the realm of horrid reapers

where's every life that withers

As the chant comes, to an end darkness engulfs them.
