Chereads / The final siege / Chapter 2 - The beginning of the fall

Chapter 2 - The beginning of the fall

It is the year of 264 after the landing of

king zanthos and war party he rode with

to start the invasion of the land of

opulrich and we find ourselves on the

brink of war…men, people of the

trees, those who dwell below, even the

seas are troubled by what's to come and

yet no boats have moved.

Yet they knew. In there hearts they knew

the battle was coming and no less to

them for you see we aren't here to

witness a victory not at all.

We're here to see one of the last

bastions for men fall to the ground in a

triumphant victory for king zanthos, the

ruler and conqueror of opulrich, one of

the first 12 nobles to make a place for

his family.

Zanthos calfarean of the calfarean

bloodline, not much is known of where

he came from or the others but what is

known is that he is the last of the original

12 nobles, thev've passed decades ago.

but zanthos discovered

something…sinister.

He discovered that he was able to

conjure up the nastiest of

magics..necromancy.

He decided with his strength, numbers

in men, bloodline and him believing in

his gods to take over all of his fellow

kinsmen and countrymen land and his

stench of death followed him like a

hound.

Soon after discovering his "talent"...if

one could even call it that he turned on

everyone. Made them mindless

followers, soldiers, ghouls...monsters.

He's so cruel he'll send former dead

loved ones to the front lines of former

family.

The world tried to fight back, zanthos

started moving towards opulrich one of

the last 5 maior cities left in this world that

Hasn't been close to getting breached.

Opulrich is a extremely specific city to

attack as it is the most fortified and has

the most men stationed there being as

it's the only city on the front line.

Mercenaries, creatures that can't be

called human come here, half men half

beast are here, half-men is what we call

the humans half are size.

But not once has this city ever been

under siege like now. No today is

different todav zanthos came with

beasts who could tear down towers,

burn living men like there nothing. Wipe

out whole cities like they weren't there..

Nobodies seen these beasts before now,

nobodies heard of these beasts before

now nobody has any knowledge on

these winged flying creatures who are

death personified.

As soon as the first creature flew past

the walls the castle went into a frenzy,

men burned and screamed, children

wailing for there parents only to succumb to the flames. Nothing could be done.

Burned to a crisp and flattened like a

sword beneath a blacksmith. Opulrich

which was the light of man had fallen

and all her heroes with them. No

survivors to be accounted for.

Failure, cries of loss, sons, daughters,

mothers and fathers all lost to the

madness that zanthos the demented,

after opulrich fell he was deemed ruler

of more then half of the nation of

agartha.

Known as the country close to the sun

god due to its tremendous heat waves

and nonstop blazing sun it is a rich

nation in both land and life. Until

zanthos. Until the landing of the tall

men.

With the fall of opulrich many noble

families were sent into a panic and had

to convene into a meeting to discuss the

next plan of action against the imminent survivors to be accounted for.

The nobles have sent there pleads for

help, supplies, men to the 5 main heads

of the noble hierarchy.
