#19056, "Desc/Role"
|
desc + You set your gaze upon a stout, ebon-skinned figure clad in desc + priestly attire. He stands approximately five feet tall and desc + probably weighs nearly 200 pounds. He has no recognizable desc + neck and his head rests like a boulder on his broad shoulders. desc + His hair is long, but extremely thin giving it a patchy look. desc + His scalp is horribly scarred as are his forearms and legs. desc + His eyebrows are extremely thick thinning only slightly where desc + they meet over his nose. His eyes are a pale yellow and are desc + separated by a broad nose with cavernous nostrils. A thick, desc + greasy beard hangs from his face ending just above his navel desc + where it is cut into three triangular points. He is powerfully desc + built, but overweight by normal human standards.
role + **********=====BELIEFS=====********** role + Yllorok was orphaned at birth. Some say his first kill was role + his own mother and, to some extent, he is glad they say it. role + It's something he takes some degree of pride in; that he had role + destroyed as early as his first breaths. He lives for bringing role + suffering to others, for sharing his own turmoil with as many role + as possible. He aims to take a position of great power so that role + he can breed frustration and contempt and squeeze every ounce role + of hope from the populace as if he had his hands around their role + collective throat. He would rule over a broken world, a world role + where the people are too downtrodden to rise up against him, a role + world where the people accept their destruction like a beaten role + dog cowering in the presence of its master. role + role + **********=====BIRTH=====********** role + The enslaved druids muttered to themselves. It had been a role + long time since they had seen the greenery of the land far role + overhead, the wildlife they held so dear, and the moon. Oh role + how they longed to see the moon. They could still sense it role + so they knew at least what phase it was in, but not being role + able to see it had broken their spirit. role + role + They had been rendered nearly useless, which suited their role + captors just fine as a druid too beaten to cast their fiery role + seeds or plant their sharp thorns was a druid they could role + make use of. They still had their knowledge, of course, role + and it was this that the duergar wanted. role + role + Druids made excellent midwives. For a long time the duergar role + had been plagued by children born still. They saw it as a role + sign of weakness, but a few were wise enough to know it was role + probably something else. They were the ones who had captured role + and enslaved the druids. Since their arrival no child had been role + still-born. role + role + The birth of Yllorok was only slightly unusual. He was born role + on the last Day of Deception in the Month of Futility. They role + couldn't know for sure, but the druids believed that the role + Sentinel of Order held both the Celestial Eye and The Burning role + Ring. They took this as a bad omen. The child would likely role + take a place of power over many others and rule tyrannically. role + A second bad omen came when Yllorok's mother died in child- role + birth. role + role + Some said the newborn clung to his mother's innards as he was role + born, dragging her guts out along with him. Others said he had role + kicked her so long and so hard that deep bruising and bleeding role + caused her demise. Still others said his mother's death was the role + the doing of Shokai as retribution for her unleashing such a role + menace unto the world. Only the druids knew the truth and they role + weren't telling. role + role + **********=====TRAINING=====********** role + Orphaned at birth, Yllorok was given no choice but to be taken role + in by the duergar armies. He was trained in combat, strategy, role + interrogation, and torture. Yllorok reveled in the pain he role + endured as well as that which he inflicted. If a prisoner held role + secrets Yllorok was called upon to get at them. He did this for role + many years and was considered a prodigy of sorts. It was as if role + he was born attuned to suffering and turmoil. He could take a role + man to their breaking point so that only death promised sweet role + release. Under these conditions most would share their inner role + most secrets willingly. role + role + Many believed he had been gifted by the dark gods. Seeing him role + as a possible weapon, the duergar king demanded that he enter role + the unholy priesthood and so he did. He took to the ways of role + the shaman as he took to breathing upon birth. His given duty role + was to bring the world under his, and by extension the King's, role + dominion. How he did so was entirely up to him. role + role + **********=====EMPIRE=====********** role + Yllorok regretted his decision almost immediately after reciting role + the bloodoath. One part struck him as untrue as he repeated the role + words that Vidros spoke. His soul was damned, he knew it and his role + Lord knew it. It did not belong to the Empire, it belonged to his role + Lord. When he was vanquished it would not haunt the halls of the role + Palace, it would be beside his Lord in the Abyss bringing pain role + and punishment onto those who had not gained the enlightenment role + that he enjoyed. Though he regretted his decision, he accepted it. role + One more piece of evidence, he thought, that he was damned. role + role + Others immediately lorded themselves over him. He had expected role + as much, but this did nothing to decrease the bite of it. He saw role + only one way to make the best of things and that was to make his role + worth known so that he would rise through the ranks. Once at the role + top he fully intended on making suffer those who had been foolish role + enough to think themselves better than he. Of course, that had role + been his intent from the start. He had always planned on being role + the Emperor, or Provost Magistrate, or Chancellor for only from role + those seats could he spread his bile and pain to the farthest role + reaches of the land. Now, however, his ascension through the role + ranks took on a sense of urgency. role + role + It was not long before he rose above being a simple Bloodoath. role + role + Yllorok advanced far in the Empire, in his guild, and spiritually role + over the many years since taking the Blood Oath. It still gnawed role + at his mind each time the novitiate guard of the Divine Sect had role + him repeat the Oath, but seeing it as a means to an end he always role + gave the correct reply. role + role + However, his progress on many fronts had hit roadblocks and grown role + stagnant. He could advance no farther up the Imperial hierarchy role + without first stepping on the High Priest. He had no qualms about role + this. The Divine Sect lead the Empire in donations and yet the role + Immortal Lords of Empire saw fit to raise a Black instead. Yllorok role + sees this as failure on the part of Haaslett. The Divine Sect role + did what it was supposed to do; donate more than the rest, but the role + High Priest failed to carry it to the Throne. The Dread Lord role + Smonund had voiced his desire, in a noncommittal sort of way, to role + see Yllorok into the Council of Four. Yllorok hoped the Emperor role + wanted the same. Too many had taken to stepping on the toes of the role + Divine Sect and for some reason the High Priest refused to throw role + the weight of the Sect around. Yllorok would not be so passive. role + role + As far as the Empire in general was concerned, Yllorok felt only role + slightly better about the choice he had made. He had surrounded role + himself with fools, to be sure, but he kept his eyes on the Throne. role + It seemed to him that too many embraced the ideal of a glorious role + future without first accepting the pain, suffering, and turmoil role + it would take to see the ideal to fruition. The Empire would have role + to seize rebellion by the neck and squeeze the life from it. The role + Empire would have to force bystanders to commit to the cause or role + count them as rebels. The Empire would have to become more stern role + in general because being accepting of faults was getting it role + nowhere. role + role + Yllorok also believed that his grasp of his Lord's religion had role + loosened. He had not yet received his Lord's mark, a sign to him role + that he was missing something. When the fool Blade Hukalon became role + the first to separate Yllorok's body and soul a zombie was raised. role + The zombie advised Yllorok that death was not the only type of role + pain, that pain in life must also be spread. He had plans on how role + to see to that in the future and had already allowed others to role + know pain in life in the past. Perhaps the most vivid moment was role + when a young storm giant let slip that he cared only for the role + children of the world. Yllorok promptly summoned every child he role + could and littered the floor of the Sect Hall with their corpses role + so that the healer could sense their presence through prayer. role + role + Yllorok decided to rededicate himself to all he had set out to role + do at the beginning. He had grown soft with the ease of it to role + this point. It was time the world knew what he was about.
