Yeah, I figure this time of low activity is a good opportunity for some ole actiony quests. And there's been this idea that's been bothering me for a while, and I feel like it's something that should be done. Basically, it's somewhat of a crossover from Earth with a twist. And no, it won't have anything to do with the characters being mysteriously teleported to Earth to gaze at the pretty lights and no, it won't have anything to do with some folks from Earth coming to Althanas. Well, maybe it will have a little to do with the latter.
The idea is this. Four legendary weapons of Earth (Mjolnir, Durandal, Excalibur and the Spear of Destiny, if you're wondering what they are, google is your friend) aren't really weapons at all. They are instead powerful spirits that transcend time and space, conscious beings that traverse the dimensions, maintaining the balance by intervening at crucial points in history and offering their powers to worthy individuals by imbuing the weapons with their power. However, someone managed to summon these spirits to Althanas and bind them to their will, which as you might suspect will cause quite a mayhem because that someone isn't a very good person.
Basically, I need two people for this. See, these four avatars, despite being enslaved, will call out for someone worthy and our characters will find themselves drawn to them. I figure this would happen on some unnamed continent in the other regions, and the three of us would find ourselves there one way or the other and work out way from there. The continent would, of course, be in a state of major upheaval, with the new wielders of the four powers wreaking havoc and trying to force their tyranny upon everybody. We'll have to take them all out. Each of the weapons has a specific power, of course. Mjolnir (which I absolutely must claim because I've wanted a hammer for an age now) is a powerful hammer that's pretty much like it is in the legend, its every strike able to shake the earth beneath your feet. Durandal is able to break any defense in a single strike, making its wielder a perfect killing machine. Excalibur gives the wielder the ability to rally people, inspire and command massive armies. And the Spear of Destiny is strongest of them all, of course, giving wielder the ability to see paths of destiny both past and future, and pretty much just making the wielder impossible to kill.
Now, whoever joins me will get one of the three remaining weapons as a spoil. But keep in mind that the four avatars would leave once we free them. The weapons they possessed will still hold a fraction of their power, which would still make them formidable weapons for all of us to have.
I'm not very picky right now, and I'm not even asking for someone with an ability to post very often, but I do need somebody who will post. Also, I must ask for somebody who can guarantee me that he/she is in for the long haul as this is bound to be a rather lengthy endeavor. So if the foreseeable future you see something that might tear you from Althanas, please don't apply. Other than that, everybody's game. I would like one character to be a chick, but I'm not sure if there's an active hot chick on the boards so I won't push my luck.
And to those of you who I'm in a quest with and I owe a post to, it will be up tomorrow. Just thought I mention that before you start sending me hate PMs about starting something new before I finish something old. :P
