TRUE STORY OF ARLOR - LEAKED !! YOU can READ IT BEFORE STS DOES!!

[oneazeli]

Dear STS,

This goes out to the most creative person/persons in your team, who took the ARCANE LEAP to conjure that exquisite poetry in those daily quests.
Remi, I hope you make'em read this. Otherwise I'll report you to STS. LOLzz

In no other game I have played, have I had as much fun playing as I had reading the poetry (no one appreciates it, bah its been taken for granted I'll tell ya)
Being a self proclaimed, proud greenhorn at the above mentioned skill, I am sure you want know the full Arlor story....

Read on game legends about what actually transpired in Arlor, eons ago...
Read on my favorite STS "special heads" (Remi you gotta tell me the name of the fellow/s or read this out loud to them !lolzz)

**************************************
True story based on Arcane Arlor facts
**************************************

One fine day in the land of Arlor,
A place of strength, skill,magic and valor,
Came 3 legends - each with a special skill
I'll tell you more and I'll let the secret spill

It started off in Backenridge, a lush green town it was, before,
gnomes entered and pillaged - land, food and gold of course,
the citizens cried, but their cries we unheard,
their voices wiped and hope was blurred.

Out came a WARRIOR, a "stronghead" he was,
He had an aura beneath him (It was para, of course),
Carrying lots of conviction and willing to fight for the cause,
He had practiced day and night and build strength and brute force,
out he swashed the sword and went hammer and tongs,

Gnome heads got banged and blood was spilled,
But Alas! He was outnumbered, the gnomes got thrilled,
Powerful was he, but lacked in speed,
out came a Rogue, to help him in his deed.

Quick as an STS fix, she looked harmless and *cute ( *Substitutions allowed but need to remain private)
She had a bow made of rose,(Elon?)
and soon started to shoot,
arrows they were Aimed and Lethal and Charged,
the gnome heads were skewered,nice vanity banners were carved.(yes I saw them in game,don't know how to get'em lolz.. STS please gift me one!)

But the gnomes were tenacious - they came in faster than they they dropped,
With each zone created, surprisingly more of them popped.
The Legendary duo had endurance, and damage - as their arms,
But each requires replenishment, each wound needed to be balm'ed.

Fought hard they did and many did they slain,
But out came Krunch ( The Troll head in the game! )
What could they do! Oh even if they wanted to fight,
Low on health, low on mana, the situation was truly tight.

Then He came, the one with blue skin.
He had no feet to move, but more than once could he sting(OK I'll stop describing now)
He held a staff, or, was it a Gun?
The gnome stomach had holes or was it lead balls, that they had munched?

But all of this, was not the only thing, I tell you, that transpired,
You see dear readers, Out he charged his hand, and WOAH ! All legends had full mana !
The warrior then cried, Lo and Behold ! All had full health...
You can picture it in battle.. there was still damage, remaining to be dealt.

And so, the battle resumed,
save for the different fate,
The arms got exchanged,
With no one left to placate,

The energies were exchanged,
Each legend then wore a lep,
Poor Rogue! Only she didn't get a LEGENDARY and wept!(OK I 'm a rogue and practice class-ism lolz)
There, then, lay the corpses of the gnomes.
Not only were they slain, they were forced into their home's.

And the EPIC battle then went on to the land of YDRA,
Rooks Hideout, to forest, to nest et cetera
The drops were good and the legends got leveled,
Their stats got buffed, with new arms they grappled.

Until they reached Kraag...
Where the battle took to a different scale !
*WTF(It's Where To Farm paradox), KDR dropped, and skeletons were on our trail !
We ran around in circles, hitting the pots, screaming and crying, as and when we failed !
(Remember when you had your first twink on lvl 16 in arcane grounds for the first time ! Scary times!)

But the legends were tough, they got up each time they failed.
And with each kill scored, deeper than before they prevailed !

The Glepnir was hard,
Tougher still was Rutger,
Killing him once was tough, Twice required more courage to muster !
Oh how the legends, still followed each others strengths
When one lacked, other pulled him off of the trench.

Finally they triumphed, and two doors were clear!
One led to Nordr, other to Paradise Pier!

The heroes (and You!) cannot forget,
Bloodhammer - The name of the Pest !
And so, Ahoy! All went - After the Red Rakham's treasure!
Only that after 20(or was it 200?) tries, was the battle, worth the pleasure!
And then if fighting skeletons and gnomes,
was not scary alone,
The legends were in Nordr,
where the chill cuts through the bone !

The Three headed Grimnr, Wolves and Spiders !
Did I even mention there was frost breathing riders!
The battle was tough,
all classes did say the same,
Save the select few, who already knew the game!

And then the legends formed,
what was called a "Guild" in the Game.....( Dunno,Dunno,Dunno ! Sorry again shameless Guildism lolzz)
All shared knowledge and riches,
Extensive battle strategies were framed.

Out went the tank in front,
Rogue took to the sides,
The mage then stunned the mobs,
All wanted the prize !(Mythics,Mythics chanting in bg....)

And so it happened,
that the battle plan was a success!
the stakes were high, the legends were hard-pressed,
Some drank potions,some took to ANKHS..
Some worked their ****(Additional Sparkling ASSessories) off,
The BOSS failed ! Legends got loads of JUNKS !

Occasionally, then, were the festivities celebrated,
"Events" as they are called, occurred when the legends were ( or are ) elated.
Not the sight of victory, neither vanity was the reason,
T'was cause a new enemy had surged, a new fight against treason,
had to be fought, and so the legends took to the task,
The economy prospered ( STS was rich at LAST !)

And when it was over, New loot was all up for grabs,
The next challenge awaited, SHUYAL was the map.

An exotic terrain,
still exotic were its natives,
Futile fight for just 2 minutes,
and all legends were on ground - like on laxatives.
And re-rise did all, again to be pounded.
Was it the fate to which the legends were bounded? (Shuyal was horrid for me first time,excuse the blowing up)

Farm the previous maps, more Xp was required.
It was a battle of preparing to fire or get fired!

The forest of Shades and Undim Fields were tough as *HELL(Highly Excruciating for Low Leveled)
Few did we kill, many times did we fell !
Finally The Ashral Tower,
and it came down to "All or None",
no more was it, a matter of just "pure fun" !

Spent years at the game,
not just months,days or nights,
YOU, my reader are witness to this! (Right?)
Now could we falter? No, not at all !
The legend was geared up after so many falls! (Remember swapping the rare with legendary for first time ! AND the happiness you got ! )

What happened next?
Before we discuss more, at this time,
A big thanks to STS for making so much fun,
Its only cause of you, I can conjure this rhyme.

Not many appreciate, let alone share, the subtle art of poetry.
If you read till here, Thanks my friend, you are truly blessed, you have the talent to withstand my poor poetry.(Or you could even write some in future!)
Hope you didn't had to use Ankhs...and if you did...Well then I need to get OP soon.
I can hear STS folks reading this snore..Or did they Enrage?
Comment below legends, that's use of the below remaining page.

PS : If you read till here, You gotta comment! Just if to keep it Bumped ! Man, I worked 2+ hrs on this thing and I am living in Vanity(PUN INTENDED)!
I'll add Expedition and Ren'gol soon based on response.

Cheers,
Oneazeli.

================================================== =========
Been a two years hiatus since I continued this, but I finally sat down to write some more of it.
[While waiting for expansion with baited breath, thought could do more of the writing...More lines to sing the lore of the battle]
So here it goes the saga from where it was left : The City of Kelys:
================================================== =========
To CONTINUE : Now killing they say is a cardinal crime,
yet here he stood with all evil enshrined,
Inen'shah the Great had spawned in the tower,
Poison pools got formed,
Our legends felt it, as it drained their power.

Dark Mages were summoned,
purple toxic patches were spawned,
What was earlier an empty throne,
was now the epicentre of the storm!

So, slash and swoosh,
The legends again went about their business,
Falling and rising each time,
Trying to surpassing their weakness.

And so it occurred again,
The demon lord was ultimately slain!
Oh, what's this he dropped?
A parchment, which led to an arcane?

Then came to our legends,
the beckoning of the Wilds,
Dragons, lizards and salamanders,
constituted a whole new bunch of "The Defiled"

And added to them was a lot of self healing Tribals,
what seemed a perilous journey had truly intimidating arch rivals!
So, the battles were fought, with each fight a battle plan learnt,
Killing the bosses gave Dragkin teeth - A new currency which everyone yearned.

And the teeth were invaluable, for they could make a bar,
So powerful and precise, it could form a ring or a pendant of power.
And with these equipped, the fights were less of a challenge.
What was earlier a fight for survival, had now turned into a fair balance.

And the elon bows and frost touched gear,
were ornately crafted to combat the evil,
while caves and volcanoes, provided the perfect backdrop for the upheaval.
The brawls in Tindrin weren't benign, the hits were incisive,
What all this bloodshed led to, was a confrontation with the supreme vices.

Will add more as soon as my writer's block expires.
