Basic Information
Name, First: Kalask
Nickname: BloodReaver
Age: 117
Race: Skeus-Koth
Place of Birth: Dras Morvas
Prominent/Distinguishing marks: Neck and Chest scar from
experimenting with magic.
Hmmm, what can I say about my self, I suppose it will have to
start from the very beginning in the place I was born.
Dras Morvas.
Dras Morvas is a Skeus-Koth city (That’s Dark Elf for you common
tounge) that’s located lets just say Northish from where the
gate and Kernow is situated you don’t really need to know where
it is. it would only lead to your death, wait that could be
interesting. No never mind that back to what I was saying. This
city is built into and under the mountain Rak-Veera. The
mountain its self is an impenetrable fortress that has never
fallen and the defenders of this place shall we say don’t take
to kindly to anyone who tries to take it, honestly you would be
better of dying than being taken captive by them, unless you
like being taken alive and slowly disassembled bit by bit and
mounted on a wall whilst everything is still connected so you
don’t bleed out, sustained by magic so you don’t die of shock
which allows you to feel every exquisite cut and tear and slowly
eaten alive by……. Off track again, not only is this a huge self
sufficient city underground which you can get up to all manner
of, well I'm sure you can imagine, but it has a city built into
the entrance way of the mountain which could be classed as a
city in its own right surrounded by fortified walls bolt
throwers, repeater bolt throwers its own garrison and some other
nasty toys and creatures. Dras Morvas now this city has it all,
high born, low born, crafters, builders, whores, traders,
taverns, slaves, guilds, organisations, and is governed by a
counsel of very prestigious Skeus-Koth blood lines all
infighting to take it as there own.
Now this leads to me I was born a weak, frail,
deathly looking baby to one of these prestigious blood lines. Of
course they couldn’t have someone like me lowering there
standards, of what shall we call it nobility, no that’s not it
there blood lines standing in society, that’s more like it. So
needles to say I was taken away and discarded off, abandoned in
the slums of the week and dying Skeus-Koth at the bottom of the
lowest part of Dras Movas where no one would care, they didn’t
even have the decency to slit my throat (they really should
have). Left there cold, hungry and crying, hours passed so did a
lot of people not even batting an eye at me, I would only burden
them therver. Untill a hooded figure stopped and stared at me, I
saw a click of his thinger and a spark bright blue lightning
shot at me, the next thing I see is this figure picking me up
and looking at me with a look of bewilderment and confusion.
He took me with him to a place that I can only
really describe as a school more like a dark organization, in
this place I was left, the first two years I was nursed and
raised until I could walk and talk. From then on that’s where
everyday was a test of survival I was feed, educated, trained in
physical combat and to withstand torture of the body and of the
mind. As each year passed I grew strong, stronger than any of
the other kids I surpassed each lesson that was taught to me, at
the age of twelve I had to train against the instructors because
I would almost beat the other kids my age to death and it seamed
the more damage I done to there life force the stronger I
became. It became apparent that I had magical potential, they
found this out by doing tests, hmmm more like experiments on me
without me knowing. After these tests I was tutored in all kinds
of magic but couldn’t grasp at any of them, until I found more
like discretely given a book on Life magic, ironically named
really, this kind of magic taught you how to wield life force as
a weapon, you can wield your own life force as a weapon but only
to an extent of what your body is physically capable off and of
what your mind can endure. But with this I could also drain the
life force of things around me to empower my magic to new
heights. I practiced this in private so no one else knew of the
power I could potentially unleash, I found out that I could take
energy from almost anything living around me, plant life,
insects, animals even other Skeus-Koth and intelligent life
forms, I would experiment with how much I could take and found
the more I took from one thing the more tired and drained they
become, I could even take all of there life force and kill them
outright if I chose to do so, that last one I found out when I
was put up against a trained mage and a much more experienced
fighter than I was, I was being thrown around like a rag doll by
these two at one point the mage had me pinned to a wall with his
magic whilst the other one was pummeling me, all of a sudden I
felt a rush of energy forming in the core of my being, I reached
for this ball of energy and tapped into it, at this point the
one in front of me fatigued very quickly as he started to fall I
realized I was the reason for this, I used this power to subdue
the magic pinning me like swatting away a fly then I took the
rest of his life force, as he slumped down dead I forced his
back to explode outwards in a spray of blood which I
simultaneously froze into shards and propelled them through the
mage who at this point was frozen to the spot in fear.
I woke up a day later extremely hungry,
thirsty and with the biggest headache I have ever had, as I sat
up I noticed a figure sat in the corner of the room, hood
covering there face but I know they were staring at me, I stood
up trying not to look uneasy, I could barely stand at this point
to which the shrouded figure motioned and pointed to a plate of
food, I eagerly consumed the whole thing and gulped down the
honeyed tea that was with it. I was thinking to my self but must
have mentioned it out loud that I thought I might have consumed
to much of my own life force during the battle and that I need
to get stronger to wield more powerful spells. All of a sudden I
herd a snigger of contempt coming from this person who was still
in my room, ''So you are not entirely helpless then'' this
whatever it was said, I mean who is this person they're in my
room, my room just watching me and then they insult me, do they
not know that I've been trained to kill. I spin towards them
facing them and reach for my power, all of a sudden I feel an
emence power accumulate in front of me. it feels strangely
familiar then I'm hit by something I don’t know what but it
sends me hurtling into the wall the far side of the room and
then I feel week, drained almost, I'm forced down unable to
brake free, at the point of blacking out I realize this person
is wielding the same magic I use. I whispered ''it was you
wasn't it''
At this point the power reseeds and diminishes this thing no
this Skeus-Koth lowered his hood. I will not describe to you
what he looks like, there's no need to revel his identity to a
bunch of common races like your selves, just know that there are
a handful of beings that see his face and live. From here on I
shall refer to him as Valshear, that’s not his name you have no
right to know that. Valshear grinned eyes alive with repressed
magic '' what was me''? You left this book for me to find didn’t
you, you knew after failing with all other magic's this one lore
would flow freely through me. WHY? He sat back down and lit a
small but exquisite smoking pipe, We in this order, another
thing I won't tell you is this orders name, if you don’t know it
then you have no need of it, take on jobs that others don’t want
to be caught dirtying there prity little hands with. And a lot
of the time it can end up messy, we train you from when you can
first walk to fight and teach you all the skills you need to
accomplish any mission no job you are given, I say jobs because
you can refuse to take them if you so wish, and also after you
complete enough you can work your way up in the rankings of this
order, which then allows you to come and go as you please, those
few that have magic potential we try to draw it out because
magic can be a one of the biggest asset in any situation. Now
don’t get me wrong I didn’t leave that tomb for you to find
because I thought you could wield it, it was the last lore that
this order could try to teach you, Normally we only try this
lore on people who have willingly chose to master it after
mastering there own born lore even then they normally perish.
This magic that you can wield is a very rare talent if a user
try's to use this magic without a natural affinity to it they
will normally just turn to ash and disappear in the wind. You on
the other hand are the only person in this order that can master
life magic other than me of course, you are the first Skeus-Koth
in around 600 years who can even attempt to control and master
it.
The next part of my life was very grueling,
Valshear took me on as I suppose apprentice is the word you
lower races would understand, such a lowly term for what I was.
The first thing I was given was a name…….. Kalask……….. It just
seamed to fit right so that’s what I chose, the next 5 years or
so I was trained physically and mentally to the braking point
every day. By his tutor I grew even stronger to the point that I
was unmatched in armed combat and could fight for days without
rest, naturally as my body became stronger so did my abilities
and aptitude with my magic, this magic's use is only limited to
what your imagination can come up with, its very flexible to
every situation. During this time I accepted as many jobs that
my rank would allow me, these ranged from assassinations,
protection, recovering of acquired goods and so on, payment
wasn’t always money, money is easy to come by, but knowledge,
artifacts, anything magical or leads are a very common payment
in my line of work, I had a thirst for magical power and
knowledge, and would always take jobs that would advance my
capabilities.
Eventually the time came where Valshear had
thought me all he knew about life magic and decided to allow me
to move up a rank, this allowed me to decide my own jobs and to
decide my own fate from here on out, He left the day after I was
told this to carry on with his own goals I can only assume, I
mean he had taught me all he knew so there really was no need
for him to stay around here, I showed him my appreciation and
thanked him as he was leaving. Other than that his job was done
and I had things to think about and decide what my next move
was.
For the first 6 or 7 years I just worked to
gain power and knowledge, I shot up through the ranks in the
order and became more and more powerful with each passing year I
would say that I was about 26 years of age at this point. One
day when I was out looking for ingredients and certain scrolls
someone mistook who I was and called out to me with a name of
Zandack Rizen, not knowing the name I carried on until a woman
tugged my shoulder and pulled me around saying the name again, I
instinctually was ready to fight and kill but there was no need
as she quickly noticed I wasn’t the person she thought I was,
she whispered ''But you do look like him'' and started to turn
away, I grabbed her wrist and simply stated ''who''? She tried
to pull away but I tightened my grip and glared until she told
me that I looked a lot like Zandack of the house Rizen one of
the prestigious Skeus-Koth blood lines that ran this city. I let
her go and found it strange to be mistaken for someone,
especially since with our sharp senses its incredibly rare to
mistake someone's identity with somebody else. I decide this was
worth investigating. I spent about a month manipulating
information from people, scrolls, dirty secrets until I had a
vast knowledge of this house Rizen, it is the largest and most
pure blood line in Dras Morvas and one of the most prestigious
blood lines in all of the Skeus-Koth lands ranked 4th I believe
no ranked 3rd since I hade that job to wipeout an entire blood
line, I say job that one was personal kind of, and well deserved
my wrath, but who cares about that there gone now and that’s
that. I knew all there secrets and goals, one of these really
caught my attention, when Laysa wife of the head of the Rizen
blood line gave birth to Zandack Rizen air of the blood line, a
strong healthy baby boy there was another that wasn’t reported,
a small sickly unhealthy lookin baby Skeus-Koth a twin brother
to Zandack. Before this child was even given a chance to be held
by his mother and named by his parents Radgar head of the Rizen
bloodline snatched the child away and said '' I will not have my
name and blood sullied by this pitiful excuse of a child this is
no blood of mine'' and ordered me disposed off, preferably
somewhere I couldn’t be found and traced back to there name.
Well we all know how that actually turned out
now don’t we, using magic and favors I had saved up through we
will call them quests, that’s defiantly the polite thing to call
them, I confirmed that that discarded disgraced baby was me.
Even though I did not know them or cared for them this struck me
hard, that I was simply tossed aside with out a second thought,
I became over whelmed with anger and hatred for Radgar at this
point I decided to destroy him and his family.
I spent months learning all of there routines
and habits, plotting how I would take them down and confront
them all. During this time I uncovered that Laysa had never
forgiven Radgar for what he did that night to there very own
son, this I could use to my advantage, so I arranged a meeting
between the two of us, I used magic to conceal my face through
out most of the meeting I told her that I had uncovered her
plans of killing Radgar and allowing Zandack to take over as
head of the Rizen blood line, she didn’t seamed shocked by my
accusations, she rather calmly stated that I had found her out
and asked what I was going to do with her, at this point I
dispersed the magic that was casting me in shadows and leaned
into the light, Laysa gasped with horror no shock I find those
emotions very similar, but any way she didn’t believe what she
was seeing right before her………… the rest of this conversation
you really don’t need to know so no questions about it or things
may end up bad for you. Needless to say we spent many hours in
the coming days talking and discussing the situation. I found
out that Zandack had also learned of what happened to me and
despised our father. This is more good information, it means I
have more pawns to help me achieve my latest goal. Over the next
coming weeks I decided that I wasn’t going to destroy there
whole line but just the head of it and allow Zandack to take the
crown so to speak, with a few added extras that is. As said
before this is a very personal matter and you don’t need to know
the ins and outs of everything, you should feel lucky I'm
telling you this much about me. So the time came and I
maneuvered them and me into place and captured him, this is the
part that was rather enjoyable for me, after he took a beating
body and mind by his ''loving'' family for all the hate and pain
that he had given out, I took over, now I tortured him for weeks
and kept him alive with magic so he would feel it over and over
again, my favorite was super heating a grain of sand and letting
it burn down through his body healing as it goes for maximum
discomfort and blinding pain, it would take two whole days to
burn right through him. In this time I devised a way to make the
new leader of my birth blood line and his accompanying forces to
come to arms and fight for me should the need arise. I spent a
few days going over what I had planned and found out that its
quite trivial to make a magical blood binding contract that once
signed can not be broken with out consequences, well lets be
honest its trivial for me, you not so much. At this point I
decided it was finally time to meet my twin brother, without
allowing him to meet me as such. So I decided to bring him to
where his father was being held, disguised in magic I let him
enter the chamber and stood before him, I informed him of my
terms for the job at hand, and produced the contract which he
actually went over very vigilantly, I explained all parts of the
contract and the punishment if it was broken. Reluctantly he
singed it, so before his very eyes I cast the spell on the
contract and bound it to us with a drop of both of our blood. As
it was completed I completely dissolved Radgar so there was no
trace of him left. I then said do not look for me after this, I
will be in contact with you when the need arises, if you have
any questions about this then go and ask our mother, good bye my
brother at this point I lowered my magical deception so he could
look at my face for a second before I vanished leaving him
looking dumb struck.
Ohh I do love being able to play with peoples minds with the
help of magic.
For the next seventy or so years I carried
on taking on missions that would allow me to gain power or an
incite into a hidden or forbidden kind of magic. Knowledge is
only power if you have the means to implement that knowledge
into actions. During this time I made several other contracts
with some very powerful allies and also a few strange creatures
as well. I continued to rise in the ranks of this order until I
became the rank of Terror, at this rank I had free reign to do
anything I wanted, it was for those few that had paid back all
that was taught to them and more, I even had to train a
problematic student at one point, that was a boring few years, I
even climbed higher in the ranks until I was in the top six
rankings of the order. No I will not tell you what rank I am and
who is above me if anyone. Along this journey somewhere I picked
up the title, or is it, yes its more of a nickname BloodReaver,
I like it, it fits with my power.
The next part of this little story of
mine is even more vague, I made a promise to someone in order to
gain even more power and started down a path that has been like
no other, details are best left unspoken otherwise I would have
to turn you to ash and destroy any evidence of your existence,
which judging by the way you look wouldn’t be to hard. Any way
this is the reason why I have found my way to this Gate of
yours, I have business here and personal reasons I wish to
investigate, and lets be honest the power I have heard that
these so called demons harness I want to make mine I may only
still be young by my race but I am more than enough capable. Now
go get out of here before your presence really starts to piss me
off, I've spent enough of my time dealing with your intrigue,
some of us still have a few preparations to make.
