Season: Autumn Ends: December 1, 2008 Weather: A chilly wind blows past everywhere. Its autumn and the lands are beginning to show. The West shows it least, its still warm there, summer still holding on there. It is thundering around there however. Terrible thunderstorms, but no rain, beware. In the South the fall is hardly making a different, same as always, hot and dry. The East is the most changing. The leaves of the forest there are changing into wonderful shades of yellow, orange, and red. The North is chilling down, and the leaves are falling off fast. Its thunder storming there but its also beginning to rain, and the frosts in the morning are freezing. Autumn is here and its bringing Winter soon, beware.

No, this post will not be about changing the plot and/or game. Nor will it be about improving it. I just, wrote this and wanted to share and since there be no general board... Enjoy.
I heard the mouth of rivers speak, In a tongue that rippled deep, They spoke of riddles in a dream... A warning, they said, the high ones sing. - Riversong
I could start the story of this world by saying, “In the beginning…” but then where would that lead when no one but the High Ones know of the beginning? There are none alive now that know it. For years, peace has survived. The Two Leggeds and the Four have existed in harmony and, as they say, ignorance is bliss. Creatures in this strange and medieval land know nothing of treachery and deceit, they know nothing of lies and murder… For centuries, happiness has flourished in every corner of Alezhon.
I know not how to send my warning to these creatures. The Two Leggeds are strange, simple minded beings with no thought to the fours and flyers. They think only of themselves and how to worship the High Ones. Their skinny forms show their ribs most of the time, for even if they do kill the fours and flyers, they are herbivores through and through. The only two legged herd I have seen that eats anything else…. eats their own kind, and what atrocities exist in that herd I will not say.
As for the fours and flyers… well two different species act two different ways. The Herds of Fours will heed the warning and become concerned, fidgety and restless. The Flyers on the other hand… I worry for their reaction. Many of them are strong but the rest… I am afraid they will abandon Alezhon for some other strange world, leaving my precious Fours alone.
Alas, let me rewind my thoughts for a mere moment and try to explain my ramblings.
This world is dubbed Alezhon... none know the meaning of the name, for it is in no certain language or dialect. Some assume it is the High Ones language, yet what they do not understand is that the High Ones have no language. They do not speak, how could they after all, when they require no mortal form. Not one creature is sure of how large Alezhon is, but what has been explored has not all been settled. The Two’s are scattered, some finding their way to the Archipelago but most to the Mainland. The Flyers settle wherever they wish, yet often times it’s near the sea.
As for the Fours... well, you shall find those of equine nature all over the Archipelago as that is their dearest settling. Of course, many times you shall find one of equine nature migrating from the swamps or deserts of the mainland.
I speak strangely, I know this. So let me explain my words by Two’s, Fours, and Flyers. To one such as you, the Two’s would be humans... strange pink or dark creatures with stretched skin and little fur. The Flyers are those with feathered contraptions called wings, giving them the gift of flight in the skies. The Fours? Well, the fours are very different yet the same. Mostly land based creatures with fur, scales, or strange skin... they walk on four legs and all different natures. The ones of Equine nature are the most magnificent and abundant. They are favored by the High Ones.
Sadly, I am not one of them. Although you could consider me the eyes and voice of the High Ones themselves.
I am such a Four after all.
Yet, I digress. There is danger sweeping from the edge of Alezhon’s Mainland... moving swiftly towards the Archipelago. The High Ones have warned me of this, yet not of what the danger is. I wish to warn my fellow Fours and Flyers, perhaps the Two’s as well? Yet I know not how. It is... difficult, after all.
How can I possibly tell them that there is a darkness of unknown origin approaching swiftly? That I am not sure what it is, whether it be Alezhon itself, a mortal creature or one of divine quality? The High Ones speak not of this.
Perhaps... I shall call a meeting within the Freewind Valley upon the largest Archipelago Island. I am sure the leaders of Fours and Flyers will arrive. I am respected amongst all of them, after all.
I am the Seer.
Riversong.
Now, if I ever ever decide to make another RPG or go anywhere near creating one, it'll follow this line of thought. Or be based off of it. =D
Whatcha think? Thoughts people? Would love some criticism of some kind. Even if it's bad. XD
