Clarke Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The Underlying Lands"Blood must be paid in blood" A shadow has clouded over the Underlying Lands from a time since long pasted, it has being over 7 years since the destruction of the old kingdom. The survivors from the aftermath of the destruction fled to the Underlying Lands to begin anew without their precious leader who guided them since the birth of the old kingdom. As an act of remembrance much of the Underlying Lands was named after the old kingdom as the survivors tried to hold onto their old culture and its ways, but without guidance from their leader it became a harsh life with much despair. The shadows heard their sadness and so appeared Diabolos sent from the darkness to bring purpose and guidance to the survivors who settled in these dark lands. Diabolos gave gifts and became friendly with the survivors as though appearing to be a kind figure looking out for the betterment of these people. Diabolos helped them progress and prosper but it was merely in the interest of the shadows that sent the beast. As time passed the Underlying Lands grew greatly and so did the power of Diabolos as he corrupted the minds of the leaders of the Underlying Lands bending them to his will and making them his loyal disciples to rule over each of the great cities of this new civilization. There were 10 loyal followers per each city and they oversaw the operation of those cities and further corrupted the civilization with their influence. Life was good for many people in the Underlying Lands as everything was peaceful until one day Diabolos sought the treasures of foreign lands to his betterment. It was then that Diabolos trained huge armies to claim these treasures by sending the Underlying Lands war machine to many lands killing millions and enslaving thousands to fuel the war machine. Lands were explored, conquered and pillaged during this time, many victories and defeats were incurred in the name of the Underlying Lands leaving millions dead on all sides that met in battle. A high number of civilian deaths came from these wars launched by Diabolos. The armies of the Underlying Lands were known as the armies of darkness, sent to all corners of the world to conquer, plunder valuables and inflict suffering. The people of the Underlying Lands suffered greatly as a result of the constant war that has plagued their lands killing many. Two years. Two long years. That's how long it took for the wars to stop and for cracks to emerge in the Underlying Lands as it citizens started to rebel against the rule of Diabolos. After many purges and great losses Diabolos’s power was dwindling leaving only the corrupted 80 followers loyal to Diabolos. Diabolos promised the people of the Underlying Lands that the expeditions would stop and peace would once again be known in these lands, but many knew better and that the future would bring more destruction and suffering. With no one left to lead the people in an uprising it was thought any hope to truly relive the glory of the old kingdom had been lost. It was in that moment a lost child of the last great leader from the old kingdom emerged from the ruins of the great kingdom seeking it’s people to bring them back to the old kingdom to rebuild what once lost in a devastating earthquake that shattered the kingdom in half and brought the ocean upon them flooding their lands while other parts of kingdom sank into the ocean thought to be forever lost to the water and its inhabitants. This child found the Underlying lands, a land corrupted and filled with darkness. Disgusted by what happened a plot was made to rid the beast from the lands and end the darkness for once and for all. During a ceremony worshipping Diabolos an assault occurred during it sending the Underlying lands into chaos as citizens took up arms to overthrow Diabolos and those loyal to the demonic entity. Diabolos quickly escaped from ceremony before it was overrun and proceeded to begin working on a plan to stop the attacks from inside a heavily fortified fortress safe from a direct attack. The child followed Diabolos and tore through the fortresses defences destroying everything in the path and eventually breaking into the war room and slaying Diabolos’s general leaving Diabolos as the only one left alive. Diabolos cowardly fortified himself deep inside a bunker beneath the fortress in an attempt to escape his fate. The child proclaimed herself as Clarke, daughter of beloved leader Emily, before using her divine powers inherited from her bloodline to send the sinister creature Diabolos into the abyss along with his bunker and fortress. Diabolos has being removed from power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Ryan Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 U gonna be a top ten nation again Clarke? Or are you going to maintain a large standing army, or what? (Trying to get what kind of nation u want to be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) U gonna be a top ten nation again Clarke? Or are you going to maintain a large standing army, or what? (Trying to get what kind of nation u want to be) You make it sound as if it is a choice, but no The Underlying Lands will have some notable adjustments to make things more efficient that make it vastly different than before. Having a large military shouldn't impede growth so much. It was mostly a top 3 nation as well. Previously the nation was ran on a complete and utter growth mentality under Diabolos, I'm going to be going back the roots of the old nation.

Placentica Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 So is Clarke going to cancel all her bogus $1 trades that are clogging up the market and attempting to dupe noobs into taking bad deals? Also, your avatar isn't of Clarke, who is blond, it's of Lexa, who was a betrayer. I hate myself for knowing all that, but the show is good. But congrats on hopefully turning over a new leaf. Although I think we all agree that getting rid of all those $1 trade would be good. 1 Quote Hello!
