This is an RP by me, Onime, and some of you may recognize my name from the long history the two communities of "the Exiles" and "the Wargamers" have had. I'd like to post some things about this RP here and invite anyone who wants to come join it to please do so.

Before the first man took his first breath, the cloud that was the universe left Siomn's lips. The cloud was dark, so Siomn breathed a sword, and called him Ifl'Mune, "the sword of one's breath." Ifl'Mune cut through the darkness, and through the tears in the cloud came the Vesper, Siomn's first children, the beings of light. The Vesper created a path through the cloud so that Siomn could look upon the world he had created, which had been shrouded until this moment by the darkness. He gazed upon the world and breathed life into it, and then as he looked down at the beauty of all that he had done he sighed in content. To his surprise, from this sigh another creature was born. And so it was that Man was placed upon the world that Siomn had breathed.

But the clouds of darkness pressed in upon the world from all sides, so the Vesper stood guard while Ifl'Mune raised his sword against the darkness time and time again. One day Ifl'Mune sought to reach the heart of the darkness and destroy it forever. He disappeared into the clouds...and never returned.

Siomn grieved for his lost sword, the blade that he had put his soul into making. But, after a long while, the sword did return...but the breath that had given him form had turned rotten and foul. The sword then turned his edge against Siomn and the Vesper, and the world they had created, with Man still in His infancy. He had brought with him the power of the Dark, and it had changed him.

"The Darkness has no heart! It needs no breath! It cannot die! It will consume all--even you, fool Siomn!" yelled the being that had once been the sword of Siomn's breath. Now he would be called Ticah-Mune, the "Despicable Sword."

Light and Darkness battled above the world of Man, and the blood of the Vesper and the Dark rained upon man, churning his water and soaking his land. Soon man found that the Blood of the Greater Beings held power beyond their imagination, and they called it Magic. But the blood of Light and Dark had been mixed, and carried a terrible taint.

With the power of Magic, man built great cities and performed incredible feats. But soon the Dark took their hearts, and they began to fight bitterly among their brothers. The Vesper, embroiled in their battle against Ticah-Mune and the Dark, could not help them. While the war above raged in the Greater Time of the Vesper, three ages of Man's Time passed, and their world was torn asunder again and again. These were the Three Mystic Wars, which destroyed Man's Past and buried it.

Siomn could not bear to watch Man's plight, and thus he descended from the heavens and gave to them One Hundred Swords of Breath, which like the cloud of one's breath could swirl and change their shapes. With the One Hundred Shape Changing Swords, the "Silvarnen-shinta," Man was given a task by Siomn--to undo the damage that magic had wrought and cleanse the Taint of Dark Blood from their world. But Ticah-Mune, ever hateful of his own creator, saw in this a new opportunity, and thus he continues to breathe his rotten, evil whispers into the ears of man...
