Lord Vladivus Posted June 13, 2015 Horns sounded across the swamp- strange, wet, muddy sounds, more gurgling than a clear ring. The Moruth Rangers had tracked the party, noting the sizeable number of Schkyklyk Raiders attempting to pass in secret. The zombies and their palanquin, seemingly bearing a zombie king, were less discreet, marching straight to the Eastern gates of Shadowmere. Vladivus, Angfauglir, Lord Mortis and several warriors met the creatures beneath the black outer walls. The stench of the swamp followed them, not that the Nocturnians cared. The zombie king ordered his party to stop before the Lord of Shadowmere and the other Resistance leaders. "Salutations Vladivus!" called the King, his voice unnatural, "I speak as the King of the Moruth Swamps, and mouthpiece of Ravaage, the true Lord of Nocturnus." His eyes cast their gaze over the other Lords. "My esteemed Angfauglir, long has it been." Lord Mortis spoke from the gateway, "Name your reason for being here. If all you wish to do is bandy titles and small talk, then you are truly a King." "Ah, the vampire has a voice," sniggered the KIng, "very well, I wish to discuss terms of surrender." At this, Vladivus who had been quiet until now, spoke up "As an emissary, you shall be accorded due respect, and I guarantee your safety, providing you behave yourself. These are not the halls of Ravaage, we will have decorum. Turning to the Knights of the Inner Keep, he said "See the emissary to my throne room. I will receive him there." To be continued... So, the next part in the LV/ME/Jorrith collab. Hail Nocturnus! C+C welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacob Nion Posted June 13, 2015 Glad to see you back! I'm very excited about the resistance story. Hope to read the next part soon. I really like the swamp vegetation. The small trees are wonderful and the giant fungus leaves no doubt where the scene takes place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunman Posted June 14, 2015 That king is great.... Great moc LV! I would prefer a bit less green vegetation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted June 14, 2015 Thanks guys! @Gunman, it was supposed to be swampy vegetation, but I think I've actually blocked out the swamp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CptMugwash Posted June 14, 2015 Cool build, I love the crown & beard on the zombie king, like an undead burger king king :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordDan Posted June 15, 2015 Great build LV! It's nice to see the story continuing, I can wait for more! :) Glad to see you back! I'm very excited about the resistance story. Hope to read the next part soon. I really like the swamp vegetation. The small trees are wonderful and the giant fungus leaves no doubt where the scene takes place. I think the fact that pretty much everyone in this build is undead also makes it pretty clear that this is set in Nocty :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted June 15, 2015 Cheers guys! Great build LV! It's nice to see the story continuing, I can wait for more! :) In that case, I'll make you wait! Haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MassEditor Posted June 15, 2015 So, this is the scum Raavage sends knocking on the doors of the great city of Shadowmere, in his arrogant hope that the defenders will lay down their arms after many seasons of successful resistance against the Spire's hordes... It seems Anfauglir's past continues to follow him; he knows of this Spire emissary. His tongue carries well the twisted and forbidding message of his lord, and he should not be trusted. OoC: Great continuation LV, and sweet build too! Nice work on that gate, another excellent addition to Nocturnus' grandest city. The swamp environment looks great, and one detail I really like is the torch holder made from the witch king crowns. Plenty of suspense here, sure to get folks back into this story!
