Out cometh shadow from the pit of rituals, out poureth evil from the heart of its creation. It hath been uncountable moons since he last was put to rest. All whom lived during his reign have since passed, and all who live to see his next will envy them. Villainy still plagues our world, and creates the catalyst for his return. Behold, the Lord of Shadows is resurrected. Lo, his reign shall return.
The year is 857 of the After Shadow era, and the Shadow Lord is prophesized to return for his third reign. Historically, he has ruled for more time than he has spent dead, and all nations shall crumble while their people live in subservience to him. Powerful and wealthy nations are arrogant and adamant in their belief that they can break his cycle of rebirth, reign, and death. Their people are indifferent to the threat upon their livelihoods and their children are ignorant of what all this means for them. This is just another facet of his design. In death does he bide his time, letting the people forget about the terror and suffering he brings until he is at their gates. Indeed, he is poised for two centuries more of rule.
Few are those who hold the appropriate fear in their hearts of him, and even fewer are those who have the power to fight him. Yes, the people of the Grijan Kingdom are blessed to have King Brontos as their leader. For the past few decades he has made friends of the nations around him and truces with the enemies of his people, all for even the slimmest of chances he may drive back the Shadow Lord. He has decreed that a hero is to be found and given his whole support, for along with the prophecy of the Shadow Lord's return, there is one of his demise.
Yet, hope must not be lost, for a hero shall liberate you. Chosen and guided by the World, he shall rise up and set the Lord of Shadows back to rest. With the whole of the World and his trusted party by his side, he shall return his fated nemesis to rest.
And so King Brontos prays. He prays for his people, for himself, and for the hero. He prays for the World to spare them from the Lord of Shadows and his reign.
This is an interest check for a fantasy RP that I've had in mind since I haven't found anything that piques my interest. It'll center around a hero and their party of companions as they set out to prepare themselves before the arrival of their nemesis, and then their participation in the next shadow war. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
