Creation of Nightfall I

<syntaxhighlight> The creation of Nightfall I

It seems my father was correct after all. The humans that he created eons ago got corrupted by some strong force. I couldn't believe it and had to see it for myself. I created the magic accademy in Ankrahmun and taught the humans about the magic arts. In the beginning it was all okay until they realized that you can abuse the magic for power and chaos. The human leaders which call themself kings quickly realized that having advisors which are skilled in magic is the key to success and power. Although we had a strong codex, the magicians, which where taught in magic art, couldn't resist the human greed and sold their souls for gold. The human kings abused the magic for warfare and destruction. After all a powerful trained magician that finished his studies in the accademy was much more powerful then 100 soldiers. But as I already mentioned the main reason they recruited the magicians was their cleverness. I decided to leave this continent of Elderan and moved on. I was banished from the realm of the gods for not being a full blooded god. So for now I had to stay in this realm. One day I travelled on my Ancient Dragon Draco I saw a huge island far away from the human kingdoms. It was so far away that the sun could not even reach this place. The island was dark at day and night. I called this island Nightfall. </syntaxhighlight>

Creation of Nightfall II

<syntaxhighlight> The creation of Nightfall II

Nightfall was dark and barren. You could feel the coldness of this place. It was a fitting place for my mood. After the disappointment of the humans, the lousy creation of my father... I wanted to proof my father, that it was a mistake to bann me from the godly realms. I got the power of a god. Why does it matter that I am just a half god? My goal was it to create living creatures and a lively town. So I started to create life on the island that I called Nightfall. I created a new race which I named Warlock. They were created in the image of humans but I made sure that they did not have the corrupted genes. I gave them strong magic abilities and made them smarter then humans. It did not take them long and they started to do things which the world never saw before. They started to mantle equipment with strong magic and imbuements. They started to train soldiers which were the best in distance and melee fighting. The perfect creation. After just a couple of years Nightfall was growing to the most powerful and biggest kingdom in Elderan. The other kingdoms were jealous but on the same time feared and respected the people of Nightfall. Meanwhile my father was watching from the godly realms. </syntaxhighlight>

Creation of Nightfall III

<syntaxhighlight> The creation of Nightfall III

Years went by and the power of Nightfall was growing further. The people of Nightfall treated me as a god. Finally the title I deserved. I was proud on my creation. I gave them all my knowledge and this time they did not abuse it. Most of my time I was spending in the archives in the city. All knowledge was saved there. Everything was fine I was satisfied but deep inside I wanted to get stronger and more powerful. I started to study dark art of magic. A mistake I regret to this day. It did not take long and chaos started to happen. A whole section of the library burned completely down. Most of the books were lost. After all I saw that I am far from perfect and the human in me was showing. The greediness to get stronger and more powerful the exact reason why humans were doomed. In this accident in the library 50 of my loyal warlocks lost their lives. I decided to move away from the city and commanded my servants to build me a tower to the north. I did not want to risk any more losses. From this time I was living in a lonely tower to the north were I continued my studies. </syntaxhighlight>

Creation of Nightfall IV

<syntaxhighlight> The creation of Nightfall IV

There was something growing deep inside me. A darkness and pure evil. It was hard to resist. And so I continued reading more about the demonic rituals and dark magic. It took possession of me and the days went by and I got more and more evil. I started to learn spells which are so dangerous that they could destroy huge part of lands in a single blow. Forbidden magic. After a couple of years I found out that besides our realm and the godly realm also a demonic realm existed. I learned how to summon those evil creatures and from time to time I was having fun sending a couple of demons to the human kingdom. I changed... but one thing was always holy for me, that was my creation Nightfall. Loosing Nightfall would be unthinkable. </syntaxhighlight>

Destruction of Nightfall

<syntaxhighlight> Nightfall has fallen. I took a handful of the best soldiers and escaped to the north. For now we are resting here in the place where I grew up. We will wait a couple of days and then travel to the mountain to the west. We heard reports that Pyro the Titan settled down in this area. </syntaxhighlight>

Urnas

Armageddon spell

<syntaxhighlight> Armageddon Spell

It is important to absolutely keep the spell secret. This spell has the potential to destroy the world. Only those who are ready to discover the dark art will be able to learn this spell. </syntaxhighlight>

Testing the Armageddon spell

<syntaxhighlight> In a wonderful full moon night, I was standing on the roof of my tower getting ready to test the spell. It was the perfect time to launch the Armageddon spell on the Thaian kingdom. The humans used me to learn magic and now corrupted my art. After casting the spell words a huge meteor came down from the sky. It did not land where I wanted it to land. I can't believe that I launched the Armageddon spell on my beloved creation Nightfall. The only place on this world where I really feel home. </syntaxhighlight>

Another attempt

<syntaxhighlight> It happened again... my clumsiness is too much! I can't believe this. My lovely creation Nightfall is completely destroyed... </syntaxhighlight>

Rift to the demonic realms

<syntaxhighlight> It turned out that the Armageddon spell does not just have an extremely destructive power but also opens a rift to the demonic realms. The last time when I launched the spell the meteor landed in the ocean so I wasn't able to see what happened. Nightfall is lost. I destroyed my favourite creation. After all I can clearly see and feel that I am far from perfect. For now I will leave this realm. Can I ever overcome my genetics and be a true god? </syntaxhighlight>

Newest creation I

<syntaxhighlight> My newest creation is looking like a human. I made sure, that they will not abuse my magic abilities. They are strong magicians and are extremely smart. The weakness of them is physical strength. I gave them a small part of my genes. This should make them able to create different kinds of living creatures aswell. </syntaxhighlight>

Newest creation II

<syntaxhighlight> The new race will be used to populate Nightfall. What is a paradise without life? It should be the city of my dreams. I will show my father that it was a mistake to abandon me. One day I will be worthy enough to enter the land of the gods! I am a true creator. </syntaxhighlight>

Urna's wand

<syntaxhighlight> Whoever reaches the top of this tower is worthy to take my first magic wand.

Signed Urnas </syntaxhighlight>

Trading port

Trading port part I

<syntaxhighlight> All hope is lost! Everywhere in Nightfall the demonic portals are opening. We have no choice but to leave the town. For now we will sail to our underground trading port near Venore. Let's hope we will atleast be safe here... I can't believe that one of this giant bats followed me into the cave system. They may be huge but they are fitting through the smallest holes. I can hear it outside in the room. I hope it won't reach me here. Soon I will run out of food... May Urnas protect us. </syntaxhighlight>

Trading port part I

<syntaxhighlight> The army of the evil followed us to this trading port. I hope atleast a handful of the Nightfall citizens was able to survive. It seems our arrogance blinded us. We thought that no one was able to beat us. Why did this happen? Were we getting to powerful and the gods wanted to stop us? After all it does not matter anymore. I tried to fight this undead creature that looks like a blacksmith and lost. Instead of finishing me off he slowly let me bleed to death. I hope that no living soul ever return to Nightfall. If you find this book, see it as a warning! Do not go close to Nightfall or you will find a horrible death. </syntaxhighlight>

Nightfall mines

<syntaxhighlight> Nightfall mines:

We found a huge mine complex to the north. It is hard to dig into the ground of this frozen continent but it is worth to put effort into this. We found huge occurance, that contain the material mythril. We can use this magic material to mantle our equipment with different imbuements and enchantment. Our goal is it to send forces to the ice lands and make it our territory. I am sure this mines will be useful for the next hundred years. It will probably be the best to melt the mythril before transporting it. I told the smiths to build a huge melting furnace. </syntaxhighlight>

Mefisto

Secret entrance

<syntaxhighlight> The secret entrance is locked. I am sure that the demons are not smart enough to find the hidden lever. I am pretty sure we are safe here for a while. If not we could still exit at the north corridor. We are still not able to return for now.

Mefisto. </syntaxhighlight>

Legendary sword

Heirloom

<syntaxhighlight> I will leave our family heirloom here. I need to be able to travel fast if I want to escape. The sword is simply to heavy... </syntaxhighlight>

Our boy

<syntaxhighlight> Our boy was just the son of a ordinary miller. Now he is the legendary hero of Nightfall. We are so proud. If only your father could see what became of you. Oh we are so proud my boy. We are so proud... </syntaxhighlight>

Mystical sword

<syntaxhighlight> This book is extremely old and most text is unreadable...

...............beware.........mystical.............pla.. nearb......for....t........ </syntaxhighlight>

Birth of a hero

<syntaxhighlight> The legend says that every thousand years a hero gets born that is able to pull the sword from the stone. The sword has it's own will and know when the time has come. Whoever is not worthy will get punished. </syntaxhighlight>

Pyro the titan

<syntaxhighlight> This is not an ordinary Colossus. This fight is lasting for days. I feel how I get weaker. I was able to deal some critical strikes but it seems this monster doesn't even feel them. Nightfall is lost but I won't rest until I slay Pyro, the Titan. To many of my people have lost their lives. I will take revenge. My deadly sword shall strike justice. </syntaxhighlight>

This red plant is the perfect spice for special dishes. We are not exactly sure where and how they grow but we found a connection between the excrement of dragons and places where blood gets shed. </syntaxhighlight>

Golden armor

<syntaxhighlight> I can't believe my luck! I fished a golden armor out of the water. After all some luck! The warlocks of the secret archives must have accidently dropt them into the ocean when they travelled to Demona. I wonder if I should return it... </syntaxhighlight>
