quote:
Never been a fan of there just being a "superior race" as it seems they are. Well, they were the first race to give rise in the universe, and are essentially a race of gods. However, they were so "enlightened" that they wished to leave the physical state of existence and moved to a less physical state in order to try to learn the secrets of the universe. Not only that, but in order to reproduce, they had to die, to pass on their own lifeforce to their child. Which is what happened to Mordred. Mortimer fell in love with one of the more humble Eludinari. When she fell deathly ill due to the pregnancy and the implications this had for herself, he had to seek out someone able to save her, lest the child should die with her. He eventually came upon the only other Eludinari left in the universe, who never strayed far from his sister. He agreed to save her, without telling Mortimer beforehand that one person would die. When it came time to give birth, the Eludinari gave Mortimer a choice; would he rather his wife live, and child die, or would his wife give up her own life for her child? Mortimer, deep down, wished to chose the former. But one look at his wife's pain-wracked face, he knew what decision he had to make. So, he chose for his child to live. His wife gave up her lifeforce, and passed on. After seeing to Mordred's birth, the other Eludinari also passed, wishing to join his sister in the void(not the Void). This is an odd predicament for the child left behind. He has the powers and life-force of an Eludinari, but they are locked away because he's technically half-elf. Only if he manages to reconnect with what makes an Eludinari an Eludinari(the Elemental Planes) will he become a realized Eludinari. Which he did, unknowingly. quote:
Not to mention changing ShadowScythe Empire to Eludinari Empire just seems....weird, though I cannot yet determine the word to describe the situation.... Well, there are two main reasons for this. For one, I think the entirety of the ShadowScythe has been a ruse; the heavy reliance on "the unstoppahble powah of DARKNESS" and undeath was merely to throw off his enemies. If they were used to this incarnation of his minions, they'd be woefully unprepared to deal with legions of beings they did not predict to be enemies. Not only that, but you should consider it from a PR perspective. Would you be so keen to imagine anything called a ShadowScythe Empire being a good empire? Probably not. Many beings would read into the connotations of ShadowScythe and refuse to oin based on those connotations.
