a remaning record of ancient Elvaria

The morning was dark, thunder growls and roars at the earth and lightning struck the waters. The wind howls loudly as it flows through the mountain passes. Then she rose from the lake, clad in earth and iron. She rose high atop a mountain of fire upon her throne of stone. There she sat. The waters were moved and cast into the surrounding valleys. The earth was shaking the soldiers fell to their knees. But he stood a fool determined to conquer his last prize. They followed a fool to a land ruled by the earth herself.

The heavens quieted to let her speak, the waters slowed to reflect upon her next action.
"This emperor, This wealthy man, this great warrior needs more?"
The king rose his spear in a challenge and began to speak but his mouth was sealed with
burning iron and chains rose form the earth and shackled him down.

"I will have none of your foolish words. You are beyond hope. Your child in your wife's
womb shall carry on without you and shall remain here forever. Your children shall be
cursed to live in the valleys of Elvaria with the rest of your kin trapped between mountains that I will raise up around them. You soldiers will remember nothing but this meeting and will be cast north, west, south and east but beneath the waves. Your race of man shall be separated and broken! I will not kill any of you nor leave you without hope for I do not have permission granted to do so."

She stood in front of her throne the mountains shaking and moving around. She cast men
north, west, south and east beneath the waves. Turning to the hill to the west she shattered the rock and behind hid cowering men and women of the war camp.

"I have a plan for you last soldiers to Elvaria in the form liken unto a spirit of where you are cast. Be it earth fire water or hatred itself. To sneak about and murmur in the darkness of your kings foolishness, until what I will say is finished!"

"Your kings seed shall be royalty still but of broken lands and shall be cursed by creatures of the deep and dead men! Until a hero rises from his seed. One who shakes the earth with his voice and commands the winds as a flute. Until he destroys these foes you will live in darkness. He shall grow to become an ambassador between lands and unite them!"

And so she sent the soldiers away and walked down to the emperor and looked into his angry eyes. With a smile she said "because you believe your line of heritage is above all other men this last of your line will be mine forever to live with me!"

"Your ancestors started as murderers and thieves of the forest roads, and you a blood drunk tyrant and so your line will end a hero who gives his life for those who dwell in mud pits and fish at sea."

And so it was she encased him in a cage of stone and fire and built herself a castle
hidden in the mountains high above the world to watch over the earth. Her power only
less then that of the Creator.
