    Eternum... an extravagant name indeed, but the lich in his inordinate opulence knew much of extravagance and had no grounds upon which to criticize a touch of theatricality. Indeed, what better moniker could there be for a kingdom of the ever-lasting, those who have conquered death itself? An...

    Urdresh halted abruptly as he glided after the retreating spirit, given pause by her words. An Abtati wizard of supreme power, a lich just as he was, clinging to the physical world past all fathomable passage of time. A shadow of fear flickered over his normally unemotive countenance, a pallor...

    Urdresh clenched and unclenched his bony talons with a dry, rattling click. Strips of leather were peeling off the coarse gloves concealing his fleshless hands, cascading into the air like horrid black petals in a fetid summer wind. The lich's entire attire was slowly changing; the illusion...

    Urdresh reeled from the intensity of the vision, snapping his bony claws together into a clenched fist and abjuring the unearthly mirror back to the void. For a moment he loomed there, glaring down in astonishment upon the earth where the witch had once lay, as real to him as she was to the...

    The robed figure glided slowly after the apparition, maintaining a respectful and cautious distance from what he now knew to be the manifestation of a much more powerful being than he had first imagined. He gazed at her intently through his mask, hanging upon the tiniest detail in her words. At...

    The lich pondered this inquiry a moment. Though to most it would have seemed a simple question with a simple response, Urdresh knew it was laced with danger. His attempts to manipulate this undead being were a double-edged sword; on the one hand, it would make a useful ally, as he could sense...

    "A witch?" the abomination mused, gliding slowly over the sand with such eldritch grace that it was easy to imagine his curled, decrepit feet, invisible beneath the hem of his robes, having no contact with the ground at all. "Not quite. Some might have called much as much once, long ago, when my...

    In the depths of the desert, where the air was still and the setting of the sun had cast a vast, desolate chill over the same dunes which burned like fire in the day, a fell and fetid breeze arbitrarily stirred the sands. It peeled and roared, growing in strength with every second until it was a...

    "There are many insults levied against me which deserve to be repaid thrice over. I hold no wretched thing upon this world more accountable for my disdain than the temerity of mortals. But who shall sate my wrath when such a reckoning occurs, I sense, does not concern you..." Urdresh dimly...

    Horse and rider came to a halt in the shadowy vale haunted by this unearthly specter. The beast, strangely, did not neigh or whinny in fear, indeed exhibited no sign of a reaction at all. At length, slowly and cautiously, the rider dismounted, and as he strode forward to address the spirit the...

    A somber figure trekked across the green swell of gently sloping foothills, the slow clicking steps of his steed leaving smoldering welts of rot in the grassy swards as it trod ever on. The beast was a horrific vision: what at first might have been mistaken as a glossy sheen of sweat upon closer...

    Long time lurker, first time poster

    Have been keeping my eye on this forum for a while but I've been hesitant to jump back into the roleplay scene for some time now. Recently I've felt a strong surge of creativity however and Chronicles immediately came to mind. I am a long time roleplayer and writer and since I am loath to take...
