State of Esshar

[Lammy]

  

1756AC - The Pyrelight Citadel 

 
"A man is only as great as their ambition, and my ambition triumphed over yours."

 

 

The second quarter of the year brought forth nothing more than complete and unknown chaos to the City of Freedom, leaving Dun Task poisoned and at the very hands of mercy by Revan Task. 

   

However, with the combined effort of Morok, Luxa Vandran, Pachua Drakos, and Jaegar the very life of Task was saved to live for another day with minor bruises and injuries. The poison, however, may have limited his days even further as the Elder of the Pyrelight Citadel.

 

After the defeat of the poisoned Dun Task the combination of Demon and Dragon moved to protect and restore the honor that was lost in Theria because of Revan. With their followers, Anugisa, Anthaoi, Barrachan, and Lilith getting in the way of the combined forces, they would find themselves faltering and pushed out of the mountain with the other nameless followers.

 

But of course, not without a duel between the Drakos and the Former Task, in which the Helm Of The First Flame being taken from Revan and adorning the head of the new Leader of the Fireblooded Order of the Pyrelight Citadel.

 

With his first Decree to excommunicate the Task, Pachua only had this to say:

 

"If any of you want to fight against the demons, so be it. You are Therian. You are allowed to do as you please whenever you want. It doesn't matter what you worship, or what you care about, but if your belief that they should be pushed back and away, then do so."
 
"I am not in charge of your life."
 
"I am not in charge of your roads."
 
"If you hate the demons, then so be it. Fly yourselves at them; kill them if you desire to change how Esshar is like. Your life, your choices. Theria is home to the free, and you are free to kill those that you dislike for the better or for the worse.”
(Pachua Drakos)

  

The Retired Elder of the Fireblooded only had this speech to say:

 

"I have lived one hundred and nineteen years. I have been blinded in both eyes, the right popped by a blood magi Rhoynishman who I'd eventually consider a true companion, the right by a lich who turned it to ash with a snap of decay. My left arm wastorn off at the shoulder by an eldritch beast of sentient blood copper I'd eventually slay and forge into my mighty masterkey. My rib cage was turned to dust by a great one of the void, replaced by unyielding mithril that has carried me straight with a metal spine all these years. My heart has been one third disintegrated by a witch and rebuilt with steel, kept in an agonizing state of permafrost and cinder by Uraheim's chill and Ifraheim's flame respectively. My body has been burned, shot, stabbed, beaten, impaled on a fence, skull fractured by crystals, cursed, poisoned countless times, and still I have not fallen. I am the first dragon of Theria, he who was there before even Garljing arrived. My flesh is leather, ash and flame, and my blood is fire, for my heart beats still for the Therian people just a few more years."
(Dun Task)

 

As the word goes out, Valero who returned from Vacation only had one thing to say towards the challenger to the Overlord and towards their disowned brother…

 

"You lot really waited until I was on vacation to do something like this, huh? Speaks volumes about the kind of men you are. Sub-human scum. Someone who sided with a man who tried to poison my father... Isn't fit to be a Dragon Lord. Let alone challenge me for my title. You aren't worthy. So stay off of my mountain, filth. As for my brother Revan? Your days on this world are numbered."
(Valero Task)
