Sypher

I'm so grateful for the livestream. Thanks a lot guys :D

Visit Alras, you can find work there. The Kingdom is growing and always in need of workers.

This is great news indeed :)

I would suggest you take your smooth stone and seek out King Syrio of Alras. The town is in need of a great amount smooth stone. I'm sure he will buy it from you.

The orcs and elves allies? You must be kidding me. As a dark elf, I've been treated wrongly by orcs on countless occasion, EVEN as a warden. When the orcs decided to tax those on kings road one of them attacked me and requested a toll, after I told him I was a warden, he removed the toll yet kept attacking.Did the warlord stop this to ensure the elf and orc alliance remain strong? No. He suggested I fight the orc in an arena while when the orcs came to High Prince Native, he provided them with diamond tools to help remove the tree. The nerve of them orcs....they are no allies of mine.

Video still not rendered?

I can not wait for Florence + The Machines new Album 'Ceremonials' Until then, she released two songs from the album which I've had on replay since they came out. :D

She sings Alternative Rock and I honestly haven't heard a song from her I don't love.

We have crimson eyes as well, you know...

So many have accused me of being evil with my eyes, and they are all right >: p

I agree with you, I have red eyes (as do many other dark elves on the server) and I always get the same reaction (Not that I'm a kind dark elf either lol). Then again, I don't agree with this version of dark elf lore. Dark elves do not live in the forests or swamps...we live underground. I feel the dungeons and dragons 'drow' (dark elf) lore is more accurate to how we are seen on this server.

My view is simple. I do not believe the surface dwelling elves are tyrants or that they suppress dark elves but they sure do not cater to our needs. Have they built an area in Malinor in which we can live without stress? No. The Dark elves are a superior race, we are born with skills other races will kill to have and it is time we establish ourselves in our own nation/society.

*Sypher's eyes reflect the great moons light as he turns to face it

I do not intend for this society to break away from the surface elves or create a loss in allegiance but only to prosper on its own terms. For its culture to thrive, for its military to grow and for its people to live in comfort!

Which Guard you will want to be in: Swords.

*A cold breath of smoke leaves Sypher's mouth as he begins to speak

I share your desires and pain Nalfein. Throughout my younger years I was forced to live within the golden trees of Laurelin, as the sun shined brightly in my presence. Day in and day out I longed for the dark elves to rise, for our true capabilities to be recognized! As a nation standing tall rather than the a mere subrace being nurtured by Malinor.

*Sypher walks closer and begins to whisper

Legend speaks of a Dark Elf city my brother Nalfein. I feel we are close to uncovering it. Once we proved the legend true, we will gather our brothers and stand tall as a nation of great power.

Your proposal interests me...we shall meet once more.

Our enemies are growing stronger and we are defending what little we have...only time will tell if we can remain in this land without being overrun by evil.

If these videos ever got on machinima, god help us all

Silently moving at top the high canopy of laurelin, the wind carrying his each step, concealing the sounds created as each branch parts. Most people marvel at the beauty of a sunrise, awaiting its magical essence, as it gifts the land with its touch. Sypher stood there that night, away from the world around him, high above those below him. He stood in high regard of the utter magnificence of the moon; his white hair blending into its soft light, his dark obsidian skin parallel to the night sky and his red bloodshot eyes masking years of pain and anger. His gaze shifts, his eyes blistering with the strength of the full moon, searching for what he once had, searching for what calms his heart and mind even though it has been over 100 years. He searches for her....

Sypher was raised by his High Elf Mother (Alena) and Dark Elf Father (Rayjin), a classic case of opposites attract. Throughout his childhood, his father taught him not to trust anyone and that he was superior to those around him. He taught Sypher specific skills such as weaponry, stealth and deceit, although when it came to his own passed, his father had always avoided confrontation. His mother Alena was a kind woman who he cared for deeply and at times of great rage, his mother would be the only one who could calm his heart.

Growing up with parents of different sub races, I did not feel at ease within the city of Laurelin. The sun’s constant shine kept me in the shadows and forced me to venture out in search of something greater. Rarely did I sit at home and ponder life’s mysterious as my brother (Heyrin) had done. While he favoured literature, legend and history; I had finally found what I thought had only existed in stories. As I stood many miles under the earth, I had found the city of dark elves. It was majestic in exterior and housed breathtaking architecture; that of which I had not seen in the streets of Laurelin. The underground landscape was dynamic, consisting of deep water ravines, a giant network of caves and hollowed out sections in the walls which inhabited various underground creatures. There was little to no light in the city besides a few glowing rocks covered with fungi, although I had come to realize that I was gifted with the ability to see in the dark.

I had soon become familiar with the city and its culture. In particular, the dark elves relationship with arachnids and the gift of darkness the spider queen had given them. The robes I wear today are in honour of the spider queen’s gift, entrenched in red and black. Meanwhile my brother Heyrin had stayed within The Holy Princedom of Malinor, achieving academic heights and caring for my mother. As time passed I spent more of my days with the dark elves and more time away from home, away from my mother. In that time my brother grew to see me as a son who had not been by his mother side, who had abandoned his family. It was at that time that I had begun to realise the anger within me had grown too far and what once were sins, had become nature.

I returned home eager to hear my mothers voice, instead I was meet by the sight of my brother refusing my return “You are never coming near her again you monster, what have you become? Each time you leave, you create a void in her heart!” “I will not let her see you anymore!” My heart was racing in my chest and there were screams inside my head. I stepped forward and drew my sword “I can’t control this, It‘s who I am and she is the only cure. Let me see her!” With an unwavering look on his face Heyrin drew his sword and begun to charge. We had fought each other viciously that night, matched in strength and skill until the sun had begun to rise. We were both pushed past our limits and the full force of my anger was released. We stood there in silence unable to move another muscle, all that time underground I had forgotten the suns properties. Without warning the sun had reached my red eyes, blinding me momentarily and throwing me to the ground. As I adjusted to the light and the blurred objects in front of me soon regained their shape, he no longer stood breathing heavily in front of me...he had taken my mother and vanished.

100 years later I stand gazing at the full moon, my mind, heart and soul taken over by darkness, my body cloaked in red and black and my left eye covered by my white hair. Even though I still search for her each and every day, I fear it may be too late. I live by a life of treachery and deceit, infiltrating kingdoms, manipulating races and spreading darkness upon the land of Aegis. They took my mother from me, they’re keeping her away and they will pay!

Looks like a full house, lets keep growing!

While I can not assist, this is a saddened loss. I frequented the base and its people, they were certainly working hard.

Great work Vaq!

-Biography: My name is Sypher, an Elven Warrior loved by God himself. Born in his house, The Cloud Temple Of Aegis; no matter what race, we live together in harmony under his roof. I spend my time ensuring all is well among the grand redwood trees which protect us. I do not seek conflict but care for the forest. If conflict finds itself to me and my family; they shall see the force of an Elven Warrior before them.

I was brought up by my mother (Alena) and Father (Rajin). Throughout my childhood, my father was tough and believed in gearing me for combat. He told me the ancient ways of the elves and the stories of Iblees, although he never discussed his own past...My mother Alena was a loving wife and mother, I care for her greatly and during my adolescence when I would feel anger, she would bring me back and encourage me to use that fire inside of me, that passion for a greater purpose.

Growing up in the forests of Malinor, I would seek adventure. Rarely did I sit at home and ponder life's mysterious as my brother (Heyrn) had done. While he favored literature, legend and history; I wandered the highest branches and lowest stumps. I quickly was taken under the wing of the towns Blacksmith, a decision my father was pleased with. I learnt much about the fine art of weaponry, how to strike a target but also the honor that accompany's a sword. At 15 I met an older dwarven explorer named 'Gromin' outside The Holy Princedom of Malinor. From that moment on we had become friends as if the gods had planned it. He is the reason my thirst for exploration and adventure is so great. These are the skills I wish to one day also pass on.

Meanwhile my brother Heyrn had stayed within The Holy Princedom of Malinor, achieving academic heights and caring for my mother. As time passed and I spent my days swimming through rivers and climbing up ravines. He then grew to see me as a son who had not been by his mother side and thus grew a rivalry between us.
