To Find Solace, Once More

[Arkelos 1027]

The Fallen Nation of Solace, long has it been in a state of disrepair and a sad reminder to all who lived their of their Fallen Queen, Dawn Perea. Many years have fallen since the Ordinator's cold blooded murder, and the bloody war that devastated the very nation, but at the same time was the Catalyst to the Great Empire of Oren, for without the war, without the dead... There would be no Empire, no great Emperor, His Imperial Majesty Godfrey Horen. The spark of this great beginning still stands gloomy and dark, ruins of a former peaceful nation lay, it's streets quiet.

From a distance, the ruins of Solace bear a grim reminder to those who pass it and remember of the War that shook it's foundation. The Orcs, Alras, Twilight Army and Oren stood against the "Corruption" that was rotting it from the inside out, victory was certain when Riven was blown to shreds by the amassed Faction bent on saving the people who resided in it. Even then, even after the war, The plague seeked out Solace, destroying the crops and withering the homes. Without Solace being taken care of, the city fell into a deeper state of disrepair, rotting and falling apart, Solace.... was not to be found there.

Your sight fixes on the Silhouette of an elven woman, atop the walls as she lugs a heavy bag, what is inside you are not certain. All you know, it could be a thief, stealing more goods for her return trip to her home. You walk closer, as you hear a lovely, almost charming elven voice rings through the once plagued, depressing, shell of a city.

"Dreams again, In my bed

A dream of Solace, A dream that spread.

I opened my eyes, and then I saw

That the Rebirth, was not too far

I felt the push, I took the leap

To bring the people, to clean this heap

The past may chain us, but we may break free

So we all may enjoy Solace, under the Oak Tree

Today is the day, We open our eyes

To find Solace once more, is no surprise

Soon the day shall come, Open your ears!

For tonight, we are reborn without fear!

Solace is in your hearts, your minds!

So break free from those binds!

Come with me and you will see

That Solace, is still free!"

As you leave her to her work, you ponder the meaning of the words... Solace is being rebuilt? Solace will be free for all to live? A part of the Great Empire? Who is this woman, and will she take the leap necessary for Solace to become a city that it once was?

Only time will tell...
