Tales of Eyreseum - For the Emperor

With Akatosh as my witness, let him testify with me that Tiberius was not a man, but Talos reborn: a living god. We could dream that he could level mountains or flood valleys with the will of his voice, but the reality was greater than even those. The Living God showed those heathen elves the true power of the Empire, of unity and duty, and of destiny. His voice was greater than that of the thundering shouts of the Nordic stormlords, and his will was stronger than that of a dozen-many dragons. It was only god-given that he wore the mantle of Emperor. And for even just his indomitable determination to defeat the Dominion was enough for a score many legions of men to follow his beck and call that could only possibly mean victory for us all. However, Ceyledon was only the beginning, and only made easy by the complacency of Elven egocentrism. Let me tell you now of the struggles Tiberius and his armies faced in Grimmvale... ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Date - 2nd Winter's Grace (August), Year 48 of the 2nd Era Time - 8:58 AM, Morndas, Morning Location - Province of Grimmvale, Fort Caraculus, Border of Ceyledon "Archers...! LOOSE ARROWS!" The Eldar Captain bellowed. His very call manipulated the sudden release of many arrows, the noise of bowstrings flicking forward like a viper echoed in the air. Arrows flew into the morning sky, the arrowtips shining in the light of the young sun as the turned to fall towards their marks. "Hoplites! Form testudo!" The Imperial Centurion commanded amongst his men, and they all obeyed immediately. Suddenly, the enemy formation had become a giant tortoise of shields and spears. The arrows pelted the formation to no successful avail, and the archers were ready to fire once more. "Aim for the gaps, do not let them advance!"The Eldar Captain commanded of his archers. "Sentinels! Prepare for attack!" He ordered the infantry of the elves, who eagerly brandished their glaives. The arrows kept coming, bouncing off shields in most cases and in others punching through slightly. But no matter how many volleys landed upon the walking fortress, none of their inhabitants were injured. "Ready the ladders!" The Imperial Centurion ordered once they were next to the wall. "Move to the edge, don't let them climb up!"The Eldar Captain ordered. His Elven soldiers did as they were told even before the order was given, stepping forward to have the better shot and drop on the Imperials. ~-~-~ Close to the area of battle and concealed amongst the trees, a small group of troops watched. Among them was a man donned in the most perfectly-smithed armour that was ornamented to an extent of godlike. He stood at their head, watching the battle carefully. "Hold..." The man went on with his hand held aloft. The men waited attentively for that one order. "... Hold..."The man continued. He took a breath, and saw the opportunity as the men assaulting the fort began to climb. "NOW!" The man ordered. Not even reaction time made to delay his command, and on the instant the ballistae fired their shots at the enemy. ~-~-~ A score two dozen Elves were impaled by only four simple yet deadly ballista bolts, shocking the Dominion forces. Even the Eldar Captain was too lost for words, and the hesitation of fear allowed the men to quickly ascend the walls. By the time the Elves realized what had just happened, the Imperials had already brought their tortoise formation to them. There was no stopping them now. The Elves fought back, but were quickly overwhelmed by a wave of righteous men of the Empire, and once the leader was too felled and the rest forced into submission, the Imperials raised their flag high and proud over the battlements of Fort Caraculus. ~-~-~ In the distance, the man smiled with satisfaction. He was no other than the rumoured Tiberius Azklan himself.

Tales of Eyreseum - For the Emperor

They swept through in a rush of steel and red, the army of the Empire. The fierce flag of the Dragonblood Imperium blocked the rising sun on the horizon that served to cast an indomitable shadow across the surging battalions. If fear had form, it was the sight of a relentless legion bound by blood oath to serve an Emperor of the likes the world had never seen before. If each and every Eldar soldier still believed their own power was that of twenty Humes, they were outmatched. The unity and willingness of the Empire's men brought together an innumerable army of soldiers ready to die for their Emperor. Even more frightening to the Elves was the flawlessness of his victories that the Emperor took, reclaiming his homeland in so brief a time. His name was Tiberius Azklan, crowned Emperor of the Dragonblood Imperium at only the age of 19. Tiberius' war began the moment he re-planted the banner of the Empire in the centre of Tirome. The magnitude of his first victory and the cries of his meager force of brave Imperials echoed throughout the province, and soon the continent. The Eldar Dominion stirred like a beast realizing the true danger of its prey. By then the Dominion forces were stretched too thin, in the North and across South Euraiya, and were incapable of quickly addressing the new threat. Tiberius and his followers did not rest, taking full advantage of the Elves' complacency they had adopted since occupying parts of Ceyledon. One by one after Tirome, the people of the Imperial cities rebelled against their Elven captors the moment Tiberius' legion arrived. Within only a week, the Dominion was driven out of Ceyledon. Celebrations were had, but soon it was back to work with the smithies and fletchers, the stablemasters and spymasters. The Imperial armies had to be well-prepared for the storm to come. Once the Dominion recognized Tiberius as a threat, the real war truly began. Only a fortnight upon the liberation of Ceyledon, it was time for the Imperials to march forth. The Elves had long occupied the neighboring wild forests of Grimmvale in order to stop Imperial allies from Valorfell and Wesirinfell marching northwards to aid the kingdom of Wesirinfell. However, for Tiberius, that Elven occupation that poisoned his homeland ends now. It is the 48th Year of the 2nd Era, and it is now that the Imperial Legion of Tiberius marches west to carve a bloody swath through the Dominion forces in Grimmvale. It is from this moment that an Emperor reclaims his Empire.

~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~ Rules: ((1)) Be Your Character Philosophical bullcrap aside, step into your character's shoes and seriously see the world as they do. If your character is a beggar and you think nobles are scum, then act like it if another person's character is a noble! If your character is scared of fighting, run away from any battle! (Yes, your characters can hate each other, because we're all friends OOC, right? This is recommended if personalities clash, otherwise I'll whip you for Rule 2.) ((2)) Be logical. Not much explanation needed here. Think from your character's perspective and the age they are in. They might get lost in the woods if they go off the road. They might run into a pack of wolves on the way back. These wolves could possibly kill your character if you're not careful. If death is a near certainty, don't overpower the situation just to stay alive. Death earns bonus points if you do it with style. (If I am being illogical, call it out! I'm no exception to this rule either) ((3)) No Godmodding. NPCs belong to me. Mooks belong to Everyone. Characters belong to Individual Players. Don't touch what isn't yours or influence them on your own accord. (I'm an exemption to this rule WHEN people become inactive and stop up the storyline. See Rule 5. ((4)) Proper Spelling and Grammar. To an extent where your posts are most definitely comprehensible/understandable. (You can tpyo as mchu as this) ((5)) Lords of Time Management Keep posting, posting, posting, posting whenever you're up! Even if it's OOC! Let us know when you're available or if you are going to be absent for a while! (If you are inactive for a while, intended or not, I'll PuppetPlay your characters until you let me know you're ready to continue or, if needed, leave.) BONUS RULE! ((!$!)) Have Fun!!! And I will penalize you if you don't follow this one! (I think.) ~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~~-~ ______________________________ Character Sheet Template:
