History Series Part 1

[Proto Man]

As part of my role as the npc/setting guy, I know it's important to create a living history, and I understand that the best way to do that is to bring it to life, rather than just summarize it in the paragraph of an npc's history or as a bulleted item on the timeline.

That said, I think that, as my free time gradually/hopefully begins to increase later this month, I'd like to start writing out segments of site history, whether big or small, and I'd like to get member input on what they would like to read.

I put some options below, but you may also suggest your own. The only subject that's off the table is anything that happened before the Kingdom and the Empire were founded.

Can you give a small summary on each event?

(everything is pulled from the timeline and references in NPC and Info Threads)

The Battle at the Black Gate - The Battle at the Black Gate was the finally pitched battle of the war with Diablo. A giant army from the Kingdom marched into the depths of the Pale Moors under the leadership of King Aragorn and his advisers (including Tyrael, who had a plan to end the threat of Diablo). The King, his lieutenants, Tyrael, and a few others entered the Underverse as their army, grossly outnumbered, clashed with the forces of Diablo. It is unknown (for now) what happened in the Underverse, but when the party emerged, sans Tyrael and a few others, the Black Gate sealed and the demon's army scattered into the Moors.

Bowser: Year One - BOWSERRRRRRR. This would be a story about Bowser's arrival to the Omniverse and the adventures he undertook before settling in the Ashen Plains.

Wartortle & Mewtwo Part Ways - Wartortle and Mewtwo, the two oldest Pokemon primes, lived together for a while on Cinnibar Island, playing off one another's strengths. Both were opposed to the island falling under the influence of the Empire, but Wartortle wanted to take it a step further and actively oppose Cinnibar's enemies. Mewtwo asserted a 'hand's off' approach to the verse politics, leading the two to split (violently), leading to the creation of the Pokemon Liberation Front.

Darkshire's Golden Age - Darkshire used to be a nice place, before the war and the undead and all the other bullshit. This would be a story of the city as it was in the early days, when it was the crown jewel of the Kingdom's possessions.

Professor Xavier Escapes Coruscant - Professor X lived in the lower tiers of Coruscant and was something of a community leader for wayward and down-on-their-luck primes. As the war with Diablo drew to a close, he began to see the truth of what the Empire was becoming. One day, Judge Dredd led a personal raid to arrest Xavier, who executed, with the help of all those he'd aided in the lower tiers, an escape from Coruscant to Camelot.

The Troll Uprising/Exodus - Zul'jin and the trolls lived in the Kingdom during the war with Diablo, until racial tensions and other (mostly unknown) factors led to the trolls being labeled state criminals. While it is still debated which side wrong who first, Zul'jin and his followers cut a bloody path of destruction through Camelot en route to their freedom.

Silent Hill: Origins - A tourist town formed during the earlier years of the Omniverse, this story would capture the town on the eve of its fouling and perhaps explain what happened to it when the rest of the Pale Moors was being ravaged by Diablo.

The Battle of Coruscant - During the final stages of the war with Diablo, the Lord of Terror led an army in Coruscant itself, leading to wide-spread destruction on tier 1. Palpatine, already ruling Coruscant without opposition, used the aftermath of the battle to banish many civil liberties and establish the modern version of Coruscant.

This was awesome. I dunno what happened with this idea, but I am reviving in hopes that it is still a thing. xD

Edit: The Black Gate story is OMGWTFAWESOME. #Hype

It's on my 'long-term' to-do list. Might be something I work on over Christmas break.
