I'm going to start a new campaign/mod called SKARTOX... This campaign is not set in the World of WarCraft... It takes place in a completely new world similar to the WarCraft one called "Desindor"... It is going to have Humans, Orcs, Night Elves, Drow Elves, Draconians, Elves(should I keep them in the alliance?) I'm still working on the plot... But I need help with the history part(it's a new world... that as a new history)... I'll try to be quick: PartI: The Dragon Wars The Dragons were the first creatures to inhabit the world of Desindor... their honour and respect for all living things made them a symbol of purity. But.... the Black Dragons were evil and selfish... the great Black Dragon Lord Junos always wanted to conquer the world and slay his Dragon brethren(well... not the Black Dragons... only the other dragons)... his dream was to create a warrior race... soldiers who would serve him at all costs... And so he created a race of Dark Dragonmen that called themselves the Draconians... Indeed, these "Draconians" were fearsome warriors and managed to slay many great dragons of Desindor... Something had to be done... Girku, the great Green Dragon lord assembled a army of dragons and set off to fight Junos... By this time other races have already established... The Great Night Dragon Lord "Nart" was fond of two special races that were known as Elves... Some Elves had light skin and had only a few respect for life... While the others, purpeld skin lived in the woods and were much stronger warriors... Felling that they might prove strong against the Draconians, Nart helped them and gave them power over the night and nature, from then on they would be known as Night Elves! The Night Elves loved Nart like a god and swore to help them against Junos... And so... a great war took place that would be known as the Dragon Wars! Fearing the Draconians were not enough, Junos managed to corrupt a few Night Elves and turn them into Warriors of Darkness know as Drows... But the Drows escaped his command and formed a rebbelion... Taking advantage of this rebellion, the skillful Girku managed to defeat Junos and trap him forever within the fires of Hell itself... But... they still had to deal with the Draconians... free from Junos command they had no hope... The Dragons respected all life... even the ones that were created for evil, they did not belive on Genocide... And so Girku took the Draconians as his own children and taught them in the ways of life and magic... The Draconian children started to born Green instead of Dark... However... it is known that some Dark Draconians still roam free through the land... Part2: Elven Wars This part is not finished yet... It's about how the Drows messed with the High Elves and were banished... Ok... anyone who as ideas... I appreciate... I need a WHOLE NEW HISTORY FOR A WHOLE NEW WORLD.... Thanks a lot for bothering to read... SubSidal |

Guest | Sounds cool. But what does Skartox mean? |
| 09-11-2002, 12:27 PM | #3 |
Well... Skartox as a very simple meaning... but it will only be revealed in the game itself... Think I'll change a few things: To defeat Junos, Girku did not trap him in hell... Instead, he created a spell that would banish him to another dimension... one of great pain, that spell was put into a scroll that was later on found and used by the High Elves to banish the Drows... |

LOL, Skartox, well thats one way to reveal it, play the game to know what it means. But good luck, you probably wont need to much, but it sounds great. Id like to hear more on this, keep it coming. |

While working on the past history I also have to work on the game plot... So, it's not as easy as I thought!! The game itself is going to be set about 17000 years after the Dragon Wars... Thousands of years ago the Drows have been banished to the same dimension that Junos... And now are about to return... I started thinking about the heros... The most powerful hero is SaDrak, a Draconian "Lord of Dragon"... Lord of the Dragon is going to be a hero type(like the Paladin, Farseer...), the Lords of the Dragon are Draconians who started as simple warriors but won their position due to their courage and wit... In the case of SaDrak he began as a simple peasant, I dunno what was his mighty deed yet, but I was thinking of something like a long dangerous quest for some powerful artifact or something(One day I'll make an RPG from SaDrak's quest)... I was also thinking about SaDrak's best friend, Lorthos, a Draconian "Warlord"(Yes, another hero type... Draconian Warlords are a different type of Draconian, they are huge and have wings, they are trained from their childhood to become great warriors.) But... I steel need to get some Draconian models... Anyone who whants to help... |

hmm me like story. if u finish it i may help u... as u know im already working on lizard type units, and i dont have a specific project for them other than a 5th race. but an entirely new mod is tempting. maybe if u gather a good team ill join! are u going to make some drawings/concept art for it? that would be just awesome and a great help to the modeling part. grz, Arch_Angel |

err hrmm.... les see... The Coming of Evil... Soon after the elven wars the drawves began to dig deep into the earth's surface... building and mining out halls that went on for miles deep into the earth.... As time passed the dwarves began to discover gems and other miscellaneous rare items... Until one day when they discovered halls formed of a new race... not yet seen before by any of the races yet known... So the dwarves sent an expedition to explore the mysterious labrynths that they had uncovered... The group was lead by a well respected dwarf known as Glimdo GrouchAxe... The group travelled deep into the uncharted labrynth finding various runes on the walls and strange drawings never heard of before... all which had fire in it... so they travelled deeper and deeper until they reached a great hall.... far much bigger than all the halls they had buitl put together... it was well lit and was decorated with gold and runes... in the center stood a huge thrown which seemed to have not been used in decades... the group explored and explored until they finally came to the conclusion that the labrynth was empty and greed came over Glimdo.. He took the throne for himself and claimed all the riches within the hall his.. he sent a messenger to tell the other dwarves what he had found and for them to come occupie his new land.. Days later when the messenger returned he seemed very frightened... he told the king that the other dawrves were dead... that their halls had been raided by orcs... And told Glimdo that the orcs were returning to their great halls to rid the halls of the dwarves... Immediately Glimdo's greed took control over him.. he told his dwarves to prepare to fight.. Day by Day the orcs got closer and the Dwarves trained with an even more determined pace... until the day the orcs finally showed.. a great battle ensued.. with the dwarves retreating in the end...However one dwarf did not.. Glimdo made way deeper into the dungeons with gold he had taken for himself.. until eventually he found a barred off door in a dead end... he could hear screams and flam on the other side... but he could hear the orcs getting closer... so taken by his greedyness he barged through the door.. to find a much more hideous sight than any orc... a room filled with over a thousand skeletons and two glowing red eyes hidden in the darkness of the room... Glimdo had relized he had made a mistake as the creature lunged forward decapitating the greedy dwarf and then began to make its way into the halls to slaughter the many orcs that were close behind the dwarf... err i hope u like that.. maybe i will describe the creature more or sumthin tommorrow... oh and cap if u spam any more... ill lower yur post count.. |

Thanx ShadowOrcIX!! It's great! Only one little thing as to be changed: The Desindor Orcs are not evil... But... There are going to be lots of similar monsters... Before the Dragon Wars... Before the Dragons... There was a world... The Ancient World.... And in this world there were lots of other races... Until Evil came and the "Lord of Darkness" whose name I don not dare to speak conquered it and shadows covered the world... Demons, Evil, Death.... The Age of Darkness!! But... As the Dragons say: Life is more powerful than any magic or evil... And so, the few spirits of good... Wisps... managed to defeat him and used their life-power to make a new world... Their life force made trees grow again and new races started to appear (The 1st were the Dragons)... Life ruled the world once again... But... The Lord of Darkness was far from defeated... He spread evil across the land in many ways... Darkness afected even the newborn Dragons... And the Black Dragons appeared(yes... the Origin of Junos). About the Scroll of that spell that Girku used to banish Junos... It came from the Ancient World... And the Ancien good races banished many demons there... When the Drows return(game plot), they bring some kinds of demons along... Some demons ally with the Drows and some do not... I'm asking ppl for the Draconians now, because if I don't get Draconian models, I'll have to remove them from the history... And since the history is still very unclear... now would be the time... Thanx for your time. SubSidal |

Ohyeah, but the what ever the hell desert doesn't count its at the equator, we are at 30+ longitude and it gets 120 or damn close in the hot summer months. |
