So often are fantasy heroes pitched against hordes of necromancer-spawned undead creatures, abominations crafted to destroy towns, ravage countries, conquer nations. However, this story will be something different, an untelling of a story from the point of view of one such undead.
Basic Plot Synopsis:
After the Lich Wars had ravaged the land of Broan for nearly a century, the Lich King Oridon had finally reached the capital's gates. You, the Archmage, Master Wizard of the Holy Empire, stood against his assault as the last stand if all else failed. All else did fail.
The battle was intense, undead were destroyed, mages were slain, and still you were locked in combat with the greatest abomination of the era. In the clash, Oridon swore that you would serve him for eternity, draining your will and your life from your body, while you focused the power of the divine into destroying his unholy body. His dark magic siphoned your life force as you called down purest light to purge his evil soul. In a flash of sorcery, the battle was over, and the bodies of both the Archmage and the Lich King lay defeated. But the curse of a necromancer's touch does not fade, more so the power of a lich. Though your body was blessed by the priests before burial, still an undead you became, even as your body withered and your flesh rotted in the grave.
And so, several years later, you rose again, clawing your way out from your tomb, shambling your way home to find your family slaughtered, their bodies desecrated, and Oridon's presence still lingering in the air. So the Lich King had survived or reincarnated, and you had somehow escaped his dominion. You would use your newfound unlife to bring the curse full circle. You would seek your revenge and kill the Lich King with what was meant to be his greatest weapon. Yourself.
A rather atypical beginning of a generic fantasy world, good and evil eternally clashing. I have some surprises and plot twists in store, along with multiple endings depending on which actions are chosen. If this garners enough interest, I'll create the thread very soon, in the next day or so. Hopefully, we can get a group of at least 7-8 players who will consistently vote on the actions to take, though I'll accept at least 5 players before we get started. So, if this seems interesting, spread it around, tell your friends, and hopefully we'll get this going shortly!
