Post by: De Faalboot on December 07, 2011, 09:43:36 AM
~~ In Silmar’s Shadow ~~


Storyline: (it's a bit of a long read, so i put a tl;dr at the end)

Spoiler for:
Silmar once was the mightiest god of Daemium. In fact, he created Daemium.
Every human being on Daemium praised Silmar. But then, Silmar made a big mistake, a mistake, that would bribe himself from most of his power.

In order to rule Daemium more efficently, he created The Great Four Dragon Elders. The Dragon Elders acted like minions from Silmar. It all came along nicely for 200 years, but then things started to change…

The Dragon Elders were given divine powers which were equal to Silmar’s powers in strength. The Dragon Elders realized that, so they made a pact, to knock Silmar over and claim Silmar’s Throne for themself.
So they started a ritual. A ritual that would bound The Four Dragon Elders into one, single body.

The ritual succeed.
So the Dragon Elder started his fight against his former master. But the Dragon Elder underestimated Silmar. Silmar was the God who created the Elder Gods after all.

So the Dragon Elder changed his plans; he decided to not take the throne by violence, but by religion. He managed convince several priests, which were the highest ranks in Daemium because they were the closest to divinity. The result was that every civillian followed the priests. It was a matter of time until whole Daemium turned against Silmar.

In the beginning of the Dragon Elder’s second plan, Silmar was still at his full power. But the number of his worshippers decreased, and so did His power. Silmar was forced to take on his human form.

And then, only one, small village was left that still worshipped him. It was Silmaria. Silmaria was named after Silmar because that’s where he started creating Daemium. The inhabitants of Silmaria have aways been the most loyal followers of Silmar.

But then a priest appeared, send by the Elder Dragon. In the beginning, Silmar didn’t even noticed him. The priest did speeches at the town square of Silmaria. Every day, he managed to convert atleast one civilian.
And so, the power of Silmar was dieing out slowly.

Finally, the day came. But there were only 7 individuals that still praised Silmar. As thanks for their Loyality, partly for his own protection as well, Silmar divided his remaining power upon the seven worshippers. They all gained a part of Silmar’s old, divine power. And with that power, they started to terrorise Daemium …

The Seven worshippers took over the seven most biggest towns of Daemium. Vakama, Icia, Eneya, Port Gullhaven, Al-Huwa, Yutano and Maruh. Ozam, Fex and Miyu live in Maruh, which also has been taken over. They know the history of Daemium. When the Elder Dragons bound themselfs into one body, Ozam Fex and Miyu were still neutral. But when Silmar divided himself and started to terrorize Daemium, our three heroes turned against Silmar.
And so, they started their quest to save Daemium from this evil madness.


tl;dr
A realm is getting terrorised by an evil god, three fighters are going to kill him.

So, you control three characters then? What happened to the other 4 followers? And this is beginning to sound like Gears of War, 3 people versus an entire army.

Unless (This is me making predictions) you're taking a more Bioware route where you travel the land gathering more and more supporters and finally ending in a grand finale against the Dragon Elder.

4 followers....?

And about that gears of war thing... Your wrong about that, my protagonists are not fighting an army, they are fighting the seven worshippers and finally Silmar himself, which makes 8 bosses to defeat.

No Bioware either; my protagonist will be fighting on their own. Maybe two or three unlockable characters, but more than that is not my purpose.

When i read my storyline back, i understand why your predictions are wrong. I simply didn't explain enough yet i think. Got to improve my storyline a bit more...

Yes.

Silmar abused his power to take revenge on Daemium, he turned evil.
