Basics of
Chrondiel
The land of
Chrondiel is an awesome and awe inspiring place, for many reasons. It is a cool fantasy world; my influences for
creating it would be Tolkien’s Middle Earth and Nintendo’s Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda, also the
Elder Scrolls by Bethesda. It includes everything from unicorns, fairies,
dolphins, and supernatural horned mammals to dragons, orcs, wizards, ogres, giants,
and demons, pretty much ripping off the basics of your average fantasy world. It is a vast island that is eight times the
size our planet Earth. Magnificent landscapes frolicking with a wide range of
critters, diverse vibrant plant life and flora assemble to make a picturesque
setting for a fantasy world. The residents include but aren’t limited to men,
dwarves, elves, and lizard people. There are also some more unique things you
can find in Chrondiel as well, such as extreme beasts. Beasts are a main focus of Chrondiel, and due
to their savage nature keep the Chrondites busy protecting their
homelands. Beasts comparable to a
sasquatch crossed with a loch ness monster, or a yeti who is super fat, super hostile
and super skilled with a massive hammer. Many of the beasts of Chrondiel are
manic and terrifying, but there are also friendly and nice creatures that are
fluffy and playful.
History of
Chrondiel
Chrondiel has a
long history of peace and the races generally get along pretty well. The few wars that have been fought are mainly
due to mans greed and they don’t include too much tragedy compared to what certain
beasts have caused. Chron War 4, for example, only had a death count of 12,000,
while The Rise of Killithain the Wicked had a death toll nearly reaching the
millions. These events were all preceded by the Legend of the Beasts, which by
many Chrondites is considered a myth.
In the
beginnings of Chrondiel’s existence a mystic clairvoyant turned evil by the
ways of necromancy unleashed torment unto the lands, demons, wild imps, and
hellish beasts caused anguish to the lands for many a year. The Mystic
Clairvoyant’s, who keep watch over the lands from a floating island in the
clouds, came up with a plan to stop the misery.
They sacrificed their souls to metamorphose into colossal beasts that
could vanquish the evils of the homeland. The four beasts were sealed away in
the four corners of Chrondiel for if another horrific time were to arise.
Characters
Gnarbock
The main
character of the story, he is a retired beast slayer, once the greatest in the
land. His main claim to fame was defeating Troblebanschki the Insane, a fierce
dragon like beast that caused much torment to Chrondiel. However, when his
apprentice was slaughtered in this battle he hung up his axe for good and
disappeared into the forest for 8 years.
Before the days of Troblebanschki, Gnarbock lived for slaying beasts and
would take keep sake from each beast he defeated, eventually gaining a shrine
worth of beast pieces that was quite grand.
His battle axe is actually constructed from the remains of some of the
more powerful beasts he defeated, and is accentuated with fangs and skulls of
beasts fastened to the grip by the hairs of more beasts. As a child he watched
as a terrible beast destroyed his mother and father (also a great beast
hunter), and the peaceful town he lived in.
This of course contributed to his beast slaying desires. An orphan with
nowhere to go he survived in the wild until a master beast hunter took him in,
and guided him in the ways of beast hunting.
Master Schwang
A martial arts
master who lives atop the highest summit of Manchachu village, he has the
ability to unlock any true warriors hidden power. He is wise and demanding, and
has trained many of the greatest martial arts experts. He remains a renowned
and celebrated icon among any knowledgeable hero. He hosts secretive martial
arts tournaments on his mountaintop hideaway. He is rumored to have contact
with the clairvoyant overseers, and to even have some psychic abilities
himself.
Feingdilli
A dwarf with an
attitude, but possesses more than the skills required to back it up. He is of the royal dwarf lineage of
Belfetoor, son of Heingaldi Belfetoor. From his early days was a rebel and had
no respect for his families lineage. The oldest son of Heingaldi, he refused
taking heir to the throne and was banished from the dwarven community. He never had desire for being a leader
because his main focus was always to become stronger and more skilled. A protégé from his youngest days as a warrior
he only suffered defeat once. He was so humiliated that he dedicated his life
to intense physical training and became a master of all weaponry.
that was not a fun experience
