[Cat B] - How Nar Bilu became lord of the Wingless Serpents

Recommended Posts

Back to Book I

A small time lad from the countryside retrieved a letter telling that his granddad left him an island, in the middle of Avalonia. Stunned by the inheritance, he dove into the history books only to find out that his granddad was a legend. Avalonia was now a peaceful, fertile and glorious. Nar Bilu’s dad passed and his little brother was too eager to help their mother with the farm, so he could own it when she passes.

(this was my first GoH build ever)

With nothing more than his hooded cape, a walking stick and some rations Nar said his family goodbye and started walking west. At the borders of his legacy stood a ruin of what used to be a gatehouse. He arrived. Hemresa was filled with friendly folk, farmers and woodmen. A long lost lore told the locals that their saviour would rise and when Nar arrived and showed them the paperwork that he owned the lands, they embraced his arrival with a large feast.

In this stage of his life, Nar became a diplomat, an army officer and a beacon for people to go to. His folk accepted him and his decisions. Hemresa was kept out of the disturbances told in Book I.

Civil wars in Historica – Book II

Of course the tumult started in Nocturnus. And when trouble arises in Nocturnus, the dark cloud would cover the whole of Historica. Nar Bilu and a hand full of his most loyal elves set route to the borders with Mitgardia to assist the Snow Elves. Keeping the Nocturnus threat out of Mitgardia.

When the wars in Nocturnus were attenuated, Nar Bilu head back to Avalonia. On the one side a plague was counting casualties, but what was even more disturbing was that Drow found a way under the tunnels of Avalonia. Hemresa was invested with these dark creatures. Bow’s Arch, the Northern Tower and many other peaceful places fell. Nar Bilu got help from the elves of the Enchanted Forest. At their castle, Hembrugga, they defeated the Drow.

The elves betrayed Nar Bilu and he was banished from Hemresa. With only a few men he set sail to a small island northeast and build a settlement. Norra Island was his haven, where he would be able to rebuild an army and retrieve what is rightfully his. He and his henchmen raided the shores of Hemresa to gather intel and harvest resourses, but they were not strong enough to invade Hemresa. In the meantime Mitgardia was under attack, but Nar Bilu didn’t have any resources to help them out.

Kaliphlin knowledge

Nar Bilu realised he has to be swift if he ever wants his property back. He needs a strong, large army to push back the elves and their allies. One night he wakes up after having a dream. A dream of legends and their might. He wants to become such a legend. He grabs the first torch, packs a backpack with the most necessary rations, a weapon and a shield. He writes a note to his family and leaves together with a few henchmen to aid him with his search.

In the month ahead he travels from city to city, only visiting libraries, reading about legends, their tools until he reaches the University of Petraea. The books here not only describe the heroes, but they own the information of how to gain the power also.

His most loyal henchman set up a meeting with a local diplomat, who was searching for mercenaries to aid Ulandus in the expected Kaliphlin war of the three lords. In his studies, Nar Bilu encountered a story he wants to pursuit. In return of his services he wants a map, instead of payment. The diplomat agrees and delivers the map and the orders from his lord Ulandus. Nar Bilu scavenges the bars, brothels and other lowlife places where he could round up men. That turned out easier than he expected.

Becoming a legend

Packed with little more than the weapons on their backs, the dessert was their destination. Nar Bilu was more eager to find the x’s on the map than to help the Ulandus with their struggle. Nar wondered why never anyone study these documents before, because within days they found the entrance of the first step to never ending glory. When they found the first relic, a four hundred year old mage, their armour transformed. He agreed to aid the first man who ever asked him for help. When they stepped back in the sun, two giant lizard like creatures awaited them. They were the pets of the mage and probably as old as him.

After dealing with some of the requests of Ulandus, they set path to the Dune Sea where the second dig site of the Serpent legend lays hidden. The tomes were exactly on the spot the map designated. When they descended, hiding from an upcoming sandstorm they strolled through the tunnels and decided that this would be their settlement when staying in Kaliphlin. Behind a sealed door, Nar found the second and last relic. He took the golden statue from the plinth and a green blast of magic lit up the tunnels.

Everyone passed out. Nar was the first to awaken. He looked in the reflexion of his sword when he gazed at the faces of his men, they all had snakelike faces. Scales on their bodies. Their tongue changed and they spoke a strange language, but understood each other. Nar Bilu had lost his scars. Everyone was filled with courage, strength and hope. Hope to win back Hemresa. Hope to win whatever is bothering Kaliphlin.

(Nar Bilu - fully transformed and Lord of the Wingless Serpents)

Nar Bilu screams it out. The pain has gone, he traded it for hope. Now they are ready to face whatever challenge they encounter all the way to Pertraea and then to Hemresa.

Their arrival in Petraea will be diplayed soon... I hope

Thanks for the overview, Nar Bilu - It does get a bit complicated to follow all the different stories going on, so this was a great way to put us all up to speed! :thumbup:

Further, you are showcasing a lot of brilliant builds, which definitely adds a lot to the quality! :wub:
