#9027, "Role, for those who are interested."
|
**Note that this was not all done at once. A good chunk came in the beginning of Urden's life, and then some around level 35, with the last being done at Hero level.
role + Guided as a arrow to the mortified heart of a man are we who role + are gifted with the Sight of gods. We zip through the air, having role + been loosed by some divine archer towards a destination only we role + can forsee...and even then, only dimly. As fate would have it, I role + was born under a forseen constellation, and thus taken as a child role + by the Kohe'Kor, a secretive society of anonymous sorcerers located role + in the Isle of Namoor. I was not to be one of them, however, I was role + their "investment" so to speak. My occasional visions were enough role + to keep me alive and valuable in their eyes. But I did not share role + all that Yu'Rai (Yanoreth) had shown me, and among those were the role + downfall of the Kohe'Kor. It seemed wise to let events unfold, and role + to let the secret order die...perhaps even gaining me my freedom. role + Not that I was treated as a slave, of course. On the contrary, I role + was well-educated and fed, but being bound into servitude is role + intolerable to me in any form. After nearly sixty years my vision role + came to realization. Inner turmoil between the mages took it's role + toll, and they just stopped showing up, over time. Soon it was role + only their thralls who were left at Namoor, wondering what had role + happened to their masters. I, on the other hand, took what books role + and artifacts that were left behind and set out west, towards role + the mainland. Since then I have begun spinning my own line along role + fate's web, and have found myself to be quite a capable wizard. role + Strangely I find myself able to draw on the powers of fire and role + water moreso than any others...perhaps because they are so akin role + to the workings of Fate. Water, you see, flows subtly along the role + paths of time, weaving it's course and carving out new gorges role + with indomitable patience. Fire, on the other hand, changes things role + drastically and immediately. It is the zealous will of fate, and role + handles any matter effeciently and mercilessly. role + role + role + =========================Urden's Journal============================ role + role + (( You peruse through many pages of dry, arcane conjecture before )) role + (( finding a section aimed more towards philosophy... )) role + role + ...Is Fate composed of a straight line, running horizontally down some role + cosmic builder's scheme? Has everything already been said and done, and role + we are simply the echoes of things that have happened long ago? What role + sense does this make? None I say. None. I used to think that is was all role + laid out before me...that I was meant to drift in a dull, thrill-less role + void, where nothing was new, and nothing could truly be accomplished. role + My gift of Sight has granted me visions...many of which have never role + occured, and never will. I can no longer tolerate the uncertainty of role + this fickle gift... role + role + (( This next excerpt was obviously written with a shakey hand )) role + role + ...It comes on like a wave...fate, that is. Not a line, as it was role + thought. But this changes everything, everything! Time rides on the role + crest of a tidal wave, and in it's wake is the past...but the future role + is like the calm water before that wave....it will always be changed. role + Nothing is certain. role + role + (( The page you now look upon is soaked in blood )) role + role + ...Sometimes I just start laughing. I don't know why until I look around role + and see them all. All the people living their little lives, having no idea role + that they are perched on a crumbling cliff, with death on all sides. They role + think they are so safe in their pathetic little cities, weening their role + children...milking their cows...not knowing anything. I just laugh.... role + role + ....The only vision that I am even remotely troubled by is that of the role + dagger. Many times it has happened: I see a dagger, much like this one role + that I hold, and it fades into the reptilian eye that forms behind it. role + Over and over...in a world full of variables, that has remained a role + constant...I...I know what it means, I have always known, but perhaps I role + wouldn't let myself believe it. I cannot deny it any longer. I must blind role + this infernal Sight before it drives me insane. Eye for an eye... role added role + role + The Awakening. role + role + After centuries of adhering to structure and harsh discipline in his role + personal quest for absolute freedom, Urden made a deal with the role + Ancient Dragon known only as Kahosarin. But Urden was tricked, and role + the information he was given was not what he truly sought...yet the role + price had to be paid, and the Dragon did indeed take his toll. He role + told Urden that his mind would dwindle and rot into madness because role + of the tainted knowledge given to it. In an extraordinary turn of role + events, however, Urden actually used his madness to his advantage, role + enabling him to see all that he could not, and hear the whispers of role + beings that existed outside of reality...the place Urden seeks so role + desperately. He had truly been awakened... role + role + But all was not as it should be, for in his madness Urden renounced role + his position as High Chancellor, believing that holding onto to such role + illusions as that would only serve to keep him bound to the material role + plane. In his mind the only way he could step beyond would be by role + the sheer power of his will, and the realization of chaos. Curiously role + the infernal powers from the great, dark abyss tried to tempt him role + back into his former position, claiming to know how to get him what role + he sought. It was the single-most difficult act of restraint that role + the elderly Magus had ever faced, but he maintained his position and role + refused them. Now he wanders...waiting for whatever will come next. role + role added role + role + Forgotten Truths. role + role + For nearly a year did Urden wander the world, seeing it truly for the role + the first time ever. Where every other mortal saw a castle or a stand role + of trees, he saw all that was there and would be there...all at once. role + But a dangerous, tragic existence it became, for though his mind was role + capable of piercing the veil of time, his body was still within the role + same limitations as it had always been. Unable to understand why this role + was, he began to strive more than ever to fully transcend his boundaries. role + Long did he stare into the place outside of reality, into the other side role + of madness. Even as his body began to wither from lack of care he remained role + fixed on that place. In the end, however, only his shadow stared back from role + the chaotic void, and the old malevolence that Urden had been so known for role + howled for a return. role + role + It seemed hopeless, and oh so confusing. But soon the comfort of insanity role + brought him the answer he sought, for the howling rage of his shadow was role + a sign...he must be what his soul longed for: The purest of evils. When role + he finally came to know himself for what he truly was, he felt the pull role + of the Ebony Scepter once again, and heard whispers from the shadows like role + never before. The Ccul'gra that he had refused must be sought, now that he role + had come to understand himself.
Bizarro I'm helping!
