The Drow -
Hezerac - 05-30-2012
Recently there was talk spreading amongst the townsfolk of Trinsic. This was no ordinary gossip for it started as but a quiet sense of panic that quickly boiling up and over and spread through the city like wildfire. And it was all brought on by the story of a mad guardsman who belonged to a doomed squadron of the Trinsic Army. This particular group of soldiers disappeared sometime not long ago while patrolling the eastern borders of Yew. It is said that they came upon an unknown cave and that whilst inspecting it, they discovered something dark and sinister within its depths.
The story of the doomed Trinsic Army patrol was told by a lone survivor who returned near-death and half-mad. According to his ramblings, before he succumbed to his injuries, there was a cave and inside it dwelled terrible monsters, the likes of which havenât been seen nor heard of in ages. Giant creatures according to the guardsman; as vicious as they were massive. What's more, there was an underground forest that was itself even more deadly than the creatures who guard its entrance. According to the mad soldier the forest itself emit a toxin and that simply entering the woods was enough to poison anyone foolhardy enough to venture in.
The story spread and as it spread it became more fantastic and horrible. And so it is hard to know what is fiction and what is real. But according to word of mouth, the story continues... It is said that during the mad-guards final hour he told of how only a handful of his patrol made it through the deadly underground forest, and that beyond it there stood a dark citadel. Inkish in color it was, and difficult to determine where the structure ended and shadow began, as they seemed to intertwine with one another. Within the dark citadel resided black creatures. They were âElvesâ he told, only twisted and dark; made evil. The last of the guards who survived the woods and came to the citadel were slaughtered, dispatched and butchered by the Dark Elves. The mad-soldier alone was spared by their vile leader only so that it would be made known to the outside world what had transpired, and that in doing so fear would spread; fear of whatâs to come... The mad-soldier would serve to tell of their coming; the coming of the Drow.
