Hralpelk Junnatin the Legend of the Battlefield, Anathema to the Empire

Role

Chapter 7

One thing that, though he will not admit it, bothers Hralpelk is how he views
himself compared to others of Chemarcan's faithful. He is competitive, and
wants to know that he serves well, better than Liosthen. He found out through
a slip of the High Priest's tongue that Liosthen had met the Adept of
Suffocation before him, something that made his stomach turn. This meant, to
him, that Liosthen was still serving the Lord admirably.

Thus, Hralpelk fervently seeks to please Chemarcan and earn his favor,
confident that though he will soon be in the prison of his Lord, he will
punish the unjust and live up to his lifelong position as the Lord's Gaoler.

Role

Chapter 6

Hralpelk Junnatin published a treatise so Thera would know of his stance, but
life as an anathema has been hard.

Many roving bands hunt for his head and often do they find it, though
Hralpelk is not a pushover and prides himself on being strong enough to
warrant the numbers, and potent enough to handle his foes as they come. A few
key events linger in his mind.


After a long silence from his Lord, Chemarcan, Hralpelk found himself
introduced to the Adept of Suffocation. Unsure of her exact position,
Hralpelk believes she is the right hand of Chemarcan. Despite the fact that
Hralpelk has been punishing the unjust as swiftly and vigorously as he can,
the Adept was not impressed. Hralpelk was not disappointed though, but rather
instead rose his head to the task she set him. Bring the Lord the Empress's
head, or be punished. Which was fitting.

Hralpelk responded in good time, though the Empress had her ever present
entourage, and his first attempt failed, causing him to fall, he later
regrouped and recruited the aid of the magistrate, Miyatzi to aid against the
criminal Empress. He organized and ordered the trap that Miyatzi obediently
rigged and began the strike. All did not go as planned though, for the
invoker was forced out of the combat leaving Hralpelk against three of them
on his own.

Which was fine. A few short blows later, and Hralpelk stood over the
Empress's body. This was very gratifying. But rather than take his victory,
Hralpelk, as always, had to push the envelope and pursued the fleeing Shadow
Lord. As a result, he was knocked unconscious and Lam and Faolai had time to
wait his Hralpelk to drift slowly to the ground before publically humiliating
him in front of the Empress and the blade he had slain earlier(Chzar).

He briefly told the Empress he would take the position of War Master if
offered, but that this was a one time offer, and sought out the Dark Warlock
to offer such as well, however the Empress insisted she was content with
Zasowski and so Hralpelk, his offer declined, furthers his efforts with the
Undaerkthe. Which brings us to the second thing of note.


The Undaerkthe, and the drow weaponsmaster who leads them have been boons to
Hralpelk, doing deals in the shadows and unexpectedly helping Hralpelk when
the hordes are closing in. The drow weaponsmaster is intent on the head of
the Empress, and since Hralpelk has finally achieved such, he is eager to see
what the dark-elf thinks of his accomplishment. Though he is slightly
skeptical that the dark-elves are going to tear apart the Palace and in it's
void chaos and those who need punishing will come into existence, he is
equally confident that if such is the case, he will punish them and restore
order.

Role

Chapter 5

The Laws and Beliefs of Hralpelk

*The Tribunal, while not always right or just, must be respected. As such,
Hralpelk will refrain from striking in a protected town unless it is in
retaliation to having just been struck.

*Those who are criminals or Outlanders must be punished. They lack the
ability to serve the Lord of Imprisonment willingly and must be forced by
death.

*Dwarves must be punished.

*All those of the Light must be punished, for their virtue would inhibit them
from justly serving the Lord.

*The Village, shall be taken on a case by case basis. While Hralpelk is
ambivalent to their war, those that are marked a criminal, are dwarf, or due
to history cannot be reconciled with shall still be punished.

*The Nexus, Hralpelk is ambivalent to, unless they are of dwarven descent in
which case they must be punished.

*The Scions, like the village, shall be taken on a case by case basis. If a
criminal etcs, they shall be punished.

Hralpelk, having too much pride to fully belittle himself to serve another
after having been an elite blade so long recognizes that his allies will be
few and far between. Thus, he will try to salvage what relationships with the
Nexus, Scions, and Village that he can so as to give himself some allies. He
will also likely befriend other Anathema when possible.

Role

Chapter 4

Hralpelk is disenchanted. Disillusioned. Omork being an elite blade is
insulting. Draktun is a fool. And the two coddle so much over the Inferno
that Hralpelk is unsure what to think. Sure, the Inferno is of use. It, of
course, needs to be dominated by Imperial Might from time to time so that the
Imperials may better dominate their true foes. But it is just that, a tool.
Instead, the Imperials are focused around it. Even the priest Liosten who
showed him the way to his Lord, the great Chemarcan, the true Lord of
Imprisonment, is infatuated and obsessed with the Inferno.

But that, that would be bearable. Instead it seems that the Inferno is valued
by the Council, and Omork was promised a position as an Elite. Hralpelk
thinks because of his knowledge of the Inferno, but cannot be certain.

Furthermore, they are all co-dependent. None of them can act on their own.
Certainly, the mentality of a pack is not to be looked down upon all the
time. Hralpelk knows that many of his battles were won because of aid from
his allies. But at times...it is overkill. It is offensive to the ones going
to war to bring the numbers they do.

And yet more causes him discomfort. The mentality of the Imperials,
generally, is pathetic. The Empress making snide comments about the new
dwarven commander being named at so young reeks with lack of respect and
bitterness, as do many others. They snicker and smirk at things that they are
embittered by, or do not respect. Such causes Hralpelk disgust for he
understands that they all are pawns in a larger, bigger scheme and that
changes are coming. The Empire has no interest it seems, in anything except
the insides of each other's anuses and the depths of the Pit.

This has caused Hralpelk to decide that when the whole council next wakes,
and the Empire is at large, he will speak out and give a tongue lashing to
all of the Imperials for their collective disgraceful nature and take the
Anathema with a high chin.

He will of course, still be loyal to the Lord that he has pledged himself to
and will continue to mete out punishment and uphold his Will. Hralpelk knows
that he will need guidance, and so will draft his own, personal laws to
follow. Perhaps if the Imperials change their nature, and a few of the
Council pass away, he will petition for re-entry to the Empire, but as they
are now, he no longer has any interest in them.

The Prophecy of War holds a lot of interest to Hralpelk and he intends to
pursue whatever that may hold in store for him, and try to work it to his
best ability.

Role

Chapter 3

And so, he was hunted. Within hours after Hralpelk raised the alarm of the
dark-elves meeting with him and attempted subversion the clicks of crossbows
echoed in his ears and he stumbled to the Palace, with the Empress in tow.
There the dark-elf weaponsmaster decided to make an impression.

With a knife to Hralpelk's throat he slandered all that Hralpelk had warned
the Empire of, making Hralpelk out as a fool. He convinced the Empress to
make Hralpelk swear that he would drop the 'nonsense he had overheard' and
then silently whispered in Hralpelk's ear that when the Palace burned, his
best men would come for him.

Hralpelk would have been extremely displeased except for after the meeting
the Empress told him that he had done a good job scouting, so perhaps she had
not believed all of what the strange dark-elf said. Never the less, Hralpelk
knows that he alone knows the whole truth and thus he is on the alert for the
great conquest. He is unsure where Frosthammer, Doban, and whoever the
spider-marked fit in to all of this, but he knows it cannot be good. Thus he
has placed a 10 gold bounty on Frosthammer's head, to slow him as much as
possible.

Ever watchful, Hralpelk is extremely curious of these strange going ons and
is eager to play a part.

Role

Chapter 2

Hralpelk is faced with yet another dilemma.

When he was younger, he engaged in a raid among Akan. The guards, priests,
and King were not pleased. Least pleased of all was Ghrimriddor Frosthammer.

The dwarf intrigued him, especially when shortly after the orcs attacked
Voralian City yelling about the head of Frosthammer.

Hralpelk wished the dwarf's head as well and thus placed a bounty of 10 gold
on the dwarf's head. Then in the midst of fighting against seemingly
overwhelming odds he was accosted by a figure cowled and cloaked in shadows,
a dark-elf weaponsmaster. The weaponsmaster approached him with a
proposition.

Now Hralpelk Junnatin was merely a duergar seeking to make his fortune
through his strength. The Empire was a natural choice for such and the
servitude of Chemarcan followed almost naturally. Now he is left with a
dilemma. On one hand he knows that the dark-elves, barbarians, and orcs plan
to strike the Empire. It is sure to be a bloody ordeal. They want him to be
their inside man. To betray the Empire from within and help the assaulting
forces assume victory.

On the other hand, Hralpelk is in good standing within the Empire. He is
poised for rising to the position of an Elite Blade. Also, he is Liosthen's
right hand and thus a high ranking individual in the growing church that
Liosthen is slowly building under Chemarcan. To be caught in this subterfuge
is to throw away all the progress he has made.

Thus, after much debate Hralpelk has decided not to aid the dark-elves in
their wishes but instead raise the alarm of the oncoming assault and attempt
to defy the odds by turning it back. Though it will be a bloody ordeal,
fending off the conquest would almost assuredly give him power and fortune
beyond his dreams.

Title History

Role

Chapter 1

Hralpelk Junnatin was raised in Aran'gird. The clan society is brutal and
highly competitive as the varying families vie for the King's favor. A
promising young warrior for his rarely-heard of mining clan, consorting with
a duergar lass who was out of his caste was his undoing. When the girl's
parents found out, they demonized up and as a result he was exiled.

And so, Hralpelk went to the surface. There, he began to train and seek out a
possibly way to make his fortune, relying on his natural skills- his
strength, mainly. In short order, he found himself a promising young blade of
the Empire. But that did not prepare him for his meeting with Liosthen. The
Priest, and Seivelli, an anti-paladin were pledged into service of the Lord
of Imprisonment, Chemarcan. Hralpelk hadn't been the religious type, but the
priest had a way with words and Hralpelk was intrigued and so he agreed to
dip his head in prayer and meet with the Lord of Imprisonment, the god of Law
and Punishment heard their prayers.

Words cannot describe the events that followed. Simply awestruck at the
domineering might that Chemarcan displayed over he and his companions,
Hralpelk willingly went into service of the darklord, to deal out punishment
in his name, serve faithfully under him using his strength to carry out his
will and work alongside his priest, Liosthen.

And so now, Hralpelk is a blade of the Empire, and a devout of Chemarcan.
Luckily, the two do not seem to be mutually exclusive and his future is all
the more promising.
