Arimaex Glisk: Difference between revisions

Arimaex wasn’t content with his research however, he took to following whispers in his search for every greater power, things beyond the veil, with [[Morgantha]] (who, apparently, had a relationship with the mage for several years) and eventually came to the Magic Giver the [[Drenorans]] so revered - [[Valynclex]].  This dragon has been raised to a godlike status in ages past, and promised Arimaex the knowledge he needed for his greatest venture - Lichdom - immortality of the sort which requires the sacrifice of another humanoid every day.  Arimaex offered his soul to the trapped god, with the knowledge that the systems the Drenorans set up in ages past would keep the god and thus his soul well hidden.

The Voices Whispering, the acolytes of Valynclex, known as the Voices (which included several players among their number) secretly pushed players to break these systems, several sigils of magic which the Drenorans had been lead to believe bound their curse (by Arimaex, who had suggested as much.  In actuality they bound Valynclex to his prison).  The new colonists were not in the know, and would continue to do so.  Various NPC’s related to the Voices would be placed in trouble alongside the players, and several died as Arimaex became wise to their actions including: [[Danias of Mhede]], [[Boris_Bejewelled_Johnson|Boris]], and [[Khenna of Mhede]].  Eventually, once the threat Arimaex posed was made clear to everyone and the changing tides of time and influence were made clear to the Mayor by the players, he and [[Arthur Justice|Arthur]] decided to betray their friend.

Arimaex took to the canopy, flying in, laughing maniacally, and slaying various players then disappearing to recuperate.  He was eventually lured into the base of the Glade, where the final blow was taken in front of the tree, and where his soul was then destroyed.  Thus was the end of Arimaex.

Arimaex presented a notable threat because not only did he NEED to consume souls, he could rip them from targets he killed with ease.  This provided a means of PERMANENTLY killing players and NPC’s alike.  What is more, Arimaex sought greater shows of power, to become not only immortal but invincible so as to not fear the Archmages beyond their borders, the few people he actually feared in some regard.   

He was more than happy to kill anyone who either got in his way, or uncovered any amount of arcane knowledge, for of course Arimaex was paranoid that someone would do what he had done, tricking and slaying the master of the region (him) to replace them.
