Aegis' epilogue
> Even though the lich's demise might have left average folk at the conclusion of the following years being bound to be qualified as 'peaceful' the former spawn of Ragnora knew that there was so much more to it. On the one hand she got a chance to gaze upon one of those despicable divine beings… Nerull to be precise and she found the arrogance of that particular individual almost unbearable (especially after hearing the offer of his, the one related to the lost draconic souls)… on the other hand one particularly elusive man suggested some quite enticing resolution of that unsightly matter.
With a clever use of Sigil's divine defying aura, conditional memory alterations the oozey overlord embarked on a quest of her own, that being the search for the 'fellow' spawns in order to push her own plots forward. Even after being tainted with undead and other manace …this world was simply too precious to allow Elder Evils, Void and other vileness to threaten it… she did not want to have her own, cute spawn be endangered by such.
And so exploring the abyss, its infinite number of layers - tis how she spent those 10 years (at least when not tending to the needs of her ever-growing domain)… with layer no 456 being the most interesting so far [EPIC lvl game hook here].
Tark's chars:
Garf's epilogue
In spite of primarily glorifying and codifying the epically heroic deeds of his companions in an exquisitely masterwork manner Garf himself earned his own, and truly respectable at that, share of fame. Numerous bardic colleges tried to sway the minstrel in their favor in hope of improving their prestige but in the end the sly one managed to outsmart all of the competitors - earning his very own place in the recent history. At times he served as a diplomat, at times as an advisor at times as … a consort in various courts and other places of power. It is still to be determined how many maidens fainted by the virtue of merely mentioning his name.. and the count is still growing.
Bayushi Ita's epilogue
With the power he obtained in a rite involving the Blade of Souls long before the final confrontation with Ra-Men it did not take long for Ita to become the champion of the his clan though, as always, the details of such are obscured by … shadows. Since the day he and his doppleganger were released from the series of college manipulations he rarely if ever allowed mortals to gaze upon his form… not much of a change of a habit ensured that can be said for sure.
Fulker's epilogue
He who's always been seeking power, not matter the price or form worked diligently for the sake of gaining more of course. He might have been 'just' an erinye when Ra-Men perished for good and the stagnation of being left in this state for way too long for his tastes was quite unnerving in spite of being ushered to stay in such form for certain reasons. But that was about to change. During the times of turmoil for the Nine Hells the opportunities for growth were so much more numerous. He sought to become the first psionic pit fiend but the result was unique, surprising and … delightful. With his newfound power he left to hell's knows where for an undetermined amount of time, perhaps trying to grow past the baatezu limitations… perhaps seeking something entirely different …or ?
Aoth's epilogue
Aoth employed some of his creations both during the Rokugan-ian civil war and the the Nexus incident proving that indeed both clockwork and steam devices are practically deployable be it in all-out warfare as well as in more city-bound conflicts and turmoils. The fact that his creations remained potent even with the power-dampening aura spreading over Nexus allowed to fight off the dreadful warforged titans of Dr Trope's earning him a honorable place in the locale's recent history. Aoth and his machines were depicted along the other champions in a great 'valley of the honored', a sort of magical museum employing illusions as the mean of showcasing the feats of those who fought against the nefarious villain.
Animelord's chars
Kamigawa's epilogue
The vile one was defeated yet the samurai of the Lunar Clan felt a bit distressed … as once again the victory itself was not true in his mind, hollow in other words.
The souls of the dragonkind, as arrogant as some of those might have been, are still souls and the entrapment of those was simply TOO much to bear by the saint when it came to determining the degree of the success of his.
He knew that there was so much more than he could do if he only… was stronger, more proficient in his art… if he embraced his lunar clan heritage much tighter.
After meeting Hans Liechtenauer he proceeded with co-operating with him and his sublime-versed collegues in order to restore the sublime arts to their former glory and mutually benefit from it. The training the four undertook was so arduous that it might have given heart attacks to his wife -should he even mentioned for example one of their ventures to the 456th layer of the Abyss- but for the sake of hers and their Light's children he decided to work hard… almost to the point of absolute exhaustion at times bu the results were more than worth it [EPIC GAME HOOK HERE].
During the Rokuganian civil war his clan sided with […] and as a result […]. [HIGH LVL HOOK HERE]
The 4 small buggers of his grew to be quite lively youngsters each exhibiting affinity for something entirely different, with Kaguya remaining 'daddy's' girl even to this day.
Ryu's epilogue
Ryu, never seeking to remain in the spotlight for more than it is absolutely necessary, remained to stay in Kamigawa's shadow… as diligent as always in his duty.
Ichiyanagi Nagomu's epilogue
Seeking to achieve enlightenment Nagomu ventured on a spiritual journey… helping all in need as he traveled and in the effect earning the tittle of the 'wandering saint'.
Hyde's epilogue
Hyde remained to be a loyal guardian of the Lunar Clan. His plushie heart not as affected by the rather unsatisfying victory over the nefarious one. Still, with the College being thing of the past the toy-alike hero could finally rest in spite of Light being perhaps a bit too gloomy again. Rest you say ? Far from it ! That SILLY GIRL threated him like a regular toy… later even sew… girly clothes for him ! Oh the terror indeed ! If not for her being Light's daughter >_> His creator considered transfering his soul to another body to ease the suffering of his but … even he found it amusing enough. Besides - would he break his granddaughter's heart just like that ^^ ?
Mjhx's chars:
Roc's epilogue
Now that Roc's been finally relieved of more 'adventurous' life-style he returned to his former passion… firearms… or rather experimentation with new kinds of munitions, armaments and similar. For few moments he might have thought of calling his friends and companions from the time of great turmoil but perhaps thanks to Io's blessing there was no such need, even during the time where the kin of his devoted to Bahamut arrived to Roctrap.
Duke grew somewhat dormant till… by a fluke the kobold managed to find the … companion armament of his while boredly browsing through old trophies and finds in his great arsenal. How in the Nine Hells it ended up there ? It remains a mystery even up to this day… one thing is sure though… Things might have gotten more rowdy now that the kobold managed to reverse engineer the peculiar mechanisms of the new acquisition allowing for the develepment of "Roc-inator MK I" as his scaly brothers tend to say. Roc, being somewhat modest, was more content with less flashy name but the silly kobolds still managed to convince him to sign each model of his creation.
Kilroy's epilogue
Kilroy, having been asked by Kamigawa to help with his training as well as deciphering of the ancient scroll in his possession, joined the growing ranks of the sublime way practitioners seeking to uncover the secrets behind the ever-elusive 10-fold path. During their quest he visited various, sometimes exquisitely hazardous, planer locales including: Limbo, the Abyss (and its infamous 456th layer), Carceri, Nine Hells and so much more. As a side effect Kilroy became known as one of the most powerful members of the now slightly infamous (due to their efficiency) "10-fold Brigade" which at times hired itself as mercenaries in order to gain more funds, know-how and missing bits of information related to the manuscript. Even up to this day most of the inhabitants of Sigil tremble tremble at the thought of getting on the group's bad-side.
Jackson's epilogue
Jackson's expertise with guns and growing self-confidence allowed him to enjoy his life more, if at times in more gun-fire happy manner. After all what can be more relaxing than a target practice session from time to time ?
Zykraav's epilogue
Zykraav's been not that affected by the changes following the defeat of the nefarious lich. He ventured here and there seeking to uncover more of his elemental mastery which led him to a discovery of a quite interesting manifest zone anchored near Doomcape where he took great liberty of channeling it if only to marvel at the look of the empowering effects on his magic.
Umbra's epilogue
Umbra led a quite tranquil if somewhat bizarre life of a faithful companion of Mike's while at the same time being the de'facto leader (willingly or not) of the Poker Dogs who more than few times had to be kept in check. It is yet to be undetermined when did she gave a birth to… Frozt her only pup so far (?).
**Mike's epilogue
[placeholder]
Saneme's epilogue
Saneme continued her quest for learning as much magic as her mind was capable of holding. Her rather rare talent was noticed which resulted in the invitation she received from Ghautar Bloodwing, the recruiter of the Brotherhood of the Cowl.
Korstuv's epilogue
Korsuv served as a mercenary in various conflicts where he could put his anger-control issues to great use.
Sythesith's chars
Syrius' epilogue
Immediately after Ra-Men's defeat Syrius proceeded with restoring the city of Dragonport to its former "glory" or rather remodeling it to a more lawful, just and perhaps less rowdy shape in general.
Changes were long due as the former city of pirates in spite of its attractiveness as far as certain business opportunities were concerned was constantly lacking in one department - that being stability and good reputation at least in the eyes of the other city-states and nations. The latter was easier to improve than before due to his relatively good (at worst neutral) standing with Bor Heavychain, Roc, Ivar and the other figures of power with whom he personally 'adventured' in the past.
Thanks to the noble deeds (and tons of magic) of his and his parents the population in general sought to almost unanimously select him as the new leader of theirs, however the dragonborn suggested a different solution establishing a new form of government and making the existence of the Undercity possible. But that was just a tip of an iceberg of his great project.
After finally being given a chance to calmly analyze the repertoire of his arcane power as well as the peculiar changes he underwent after being affected by the Orrery of Light the elf decided to spend his time on researching the interaction between transitive, parallel and other planes with the prime material.
The research brought quite appeasing… fruits so to say enabling the mage to stabilize a set of intricately-linked manifests zones of both the positive energy plane and the plane of shadows…to serve as a catalyst to his greatest creation so far.
While browsing for know-how on the matter in various planar locations, including the Floating Library he stumbled upon a group of individuals equally enthusiastic towards similar kinds of arcane projects.
And so the idea of the 'Spectral Academy' was born and formed…
Sirion's epilogue
Sirion managed to maintain his position of the supreme monarch of the Red lizard kings in spite of a short-lived rebellion of the 'old vanguard' still in a way loyal to Sakatha or perhaps the 'old ways' while also SLOWLY transforming this xenophobic, enslavement-happy group into a one which at least was capable of a (somewhat) peaceful trade exchange with the other nations/city-states of the Red Desert as well as the Black Marches.
Rayne Kitty's chars
Nina's epilogue
Nina/Kalfyra proceeded with her own try at creation of the "paradise" on the material plane. Her idea was warmly received in some circles, mainly the less conservative silver dragon ones whose members were truly reluctant to have more than than it is absolutely necessary in common with the draconic council which by itself proved to be less than effective with both deciphering and interpreting the draconic prophecy. That blunder almost lead the dragons as whole (if not the material plane itself) to destruction. After all, the notion of the Orb collection being nothing more above the ploy of Ra-Men's and the draconic traitors.
In spite of her best efforts the floating city of [… name here] is yet to become a major 'player' as far as the world's major powers are concerned owing it perhaps to the fact that the dragons (making up for the majority of the domain's population) are inherently quiet reluctant to act too swiftly, at least from demi-human perspective. But was that Nina's intention ? Tranquility, peace, slow yet decisive restoration of long-lost secrets of draconic magic - those were the main priorities after all and as such the dragonnes felt quite content to see fruits of her actions in those departments quite soon.
When her domain grew enough she decided to help those who depended on her the most…
Nina, having vowed her desire to rescue all draconic souls which were captured by Ra-Men and Nerull during the ascension of the former, ventured to the deepest parts of the Nexus of souls only to discover numerous portals leading to Carceri. Even though the plane itself was not finite she still boldly entered the shimmering portal… they must be somewhere there… she felt it. "I will not leave you alone, my friends…" she thought and was not heard of since… or was she ? [EPIC GAME HOOK HERE]
Nalei's chars
Nightmare's epilogue
The now 9-tail, divine and actually 'royal kitsune (known as "Shimentsu no Yume" or "Yume" in Rokugan, which translates roughly into 'Fiery Dream') took her WELL-deserved vacations… or so she thought.
In order to ensure both prosperity and safety of her inherently mischievous (if at times a bit too conservative) kind she had to basically almost rebuilt certain aspects her kin's life. Starting with the LAW and then slow dissolution of the tail-dependent hierarchy to be precise. Still, with the aid of her trusted associates (those being : Amaterasu, Aika, Ying, Hikaru and many more) she managed to push her vision into a grand new stage.
The Nine-tail enclave was rebuilt and restored or actually exceeded its former glory and splendor thanks to her tremendous effort at the restoration of the destroyed planar links. Before that could happen, a lot of purification had to be performed in the now maho-polluted inner plane [GAME HOOK here].
The orange tear refused absorption yet still followed the kitsune orbiting around her more or less akin to the way Ioun' stones do, augmenting her magic in peculiar ways in the process while still refusing to communicate with her on the non-empathic level.
The blade which accompanied her since her kitsune form's "birth" slowly grew more and more dormant with the passage of time till suddenly it awakened after having been brought into the vicinity of another "tear"… slowly but surely being aware of the details of its past growing in power to the point where it also became a great aid in detecting and of course finding the rest.
Nightmare's other self was shrouded in mystery… with Amaterasu and the others being more or less clueless on that matter she requested the aid of the only being that had anything in common with "that herself"… and so she warped to the Halls of Blood [RP event hook here].
In the most surprising moment… and circumstances Inari announced that indeed, Nightmare "passed" her trials and at the end she deemed her worthy of joining the kitsune pantheon.
As for the children… needless to say the royal palace's expansion was shortly in order…
Jam730's chars
Charlinia's epilogue
The servant of darkness could not truly complain about lack of opportunities in which she could prove her worth a high-ranked member of the Black Lions… as well as one of the 'seeds of conflict' planted by the Bloodhaired One. The latter remained to be an untamed, if wild enigma … but out of sudden the dark one approached her again… With an offer she could not resist or could she ? [GAME HOOK here]
Shinji's epilogue
With his over-elusive nature not much can be said about this particular kitsune. Perhaps he is laughing as we speak, hidden somewhere close with his foxy mischievousness finally emerging from previously wounded heart now that he found a bit of solace within the safe bounds of the kitsune realm.
Karma's epilogue
Karma, having been mostly an 'outsider' as far as the conflict between Ra-Men and the heroes is concerned, sought to find her place in the everchanging environment of the city of pirates. The beginnings were semi-promising at best and the fact that the city was becoming increasingly 'orderly' did not help at all in her quite dis-orderly 'business venture'.
True, the enigmatic Veiled Society was no more.
True, the Thieves Guild lost quite a lot of power as many of their members were double agents working for the abovementioned organization.
But with a bit of charm here, be it magical or inherent, a bit of it there one can create a new veil… no matter the environment.
Officially none such organization (of Karma's that is) exists… however the Black Lions would be bored if not for some daily distractions, wouldn't they ?
After all one could say that staying constantly on guard would prevent their fangs, mane from growing dull ? Wouldn't that actually be a sort of service to the community while also enjoying spanning webs of exquisitively-complicated intrigues left and right ?
Kaiyo's epilogue
Life's a game… gambling in other words. In spite of being somewhat unaware of the significance of his contribution in Ra-Men's (hopefully) final defeat Kaiyo grew so much more confident in his ability to 'call in favors of the lady luck' (or whatever forces capable of affecting it aided the young man) and with the Rokuganian civil war erupting just like that… There would be no better opportunity to prove himself worthy of the tittle of the luckiest man of the world's southern hemisphere.
During his venture to the now war-torn lands he stumbled upon an individual claiming to also being capable of performing similar feats.
The enigmatic persona only smiled in delight after Kaiyo accepted his invitation to the "game of thrones".
Each of the fate-blessed men allied themselves with one of the many warring factions, each seeking to have their chosen ones have their champion becoming the new emperor… but the result ? Tis a story for another day…
In the meantime … having 'adventured' together for so long… both Kaiyo and Naida perhaps could not help (in spite of at times almost opposite traits) but develop feelings for each other.
Xavash's epilogue
Xavash, having been torn if not clueless about what to do following the throughly unsatisfying victory over Ra-Men left in his humanoid disguise on a sort of a spiritual venture throughout the multi-verse where he hoped to rediscover himself… or so he thought. His red dragon bloodline made it sometimes hard to keep his temper in check which resulted in a more than few rumors circulating through Sigil and other planar hubs… each depicting the vigilante-alike figure in different light. Only few realized that he was the very same half-dragon who, together with his companions, thwarted the vile one yet where such deed was recognized he was welcomed openly.
In the chaotic domain of Limbo he found the solitude he desired in one of the gitzerezai monasteries where the sublime way meditations helped him to somewhat forget about his past…
Shortly thereafter he left for the great unknown… leaving all behind and uncovering … but tis a story for another day. [EPIC GAME hook here]
Zgod's chars:
Juliet Lawson's epilogue
The cult itself proved to be quite… lacking in ranks at the beginning. It all changed when Garf's masterpieces of stories became the hottest topic within taverns, inns and other similar establishments and even royal courts throughout the lands of Arkus. What initially looked like a group or random more or less die-hard groupies turned into an actual 'full-fledged' cult with a zeal matching the one of the 'older brothers and sisters in faith'. Regretfully (or not ?) the only stable 'temple' to that pantheon is maintained in Sigil where the tolerance is at its finest. The reason of it being quite… simple: the only thing the 'pantheon members' shared was "overwhelming power" which became the main *ideal* if not the dogma and as such that kind of an approach is not truly accepted in most lands or planes.
"JOIN NOW ! WORSHIP POWAH ! GET UBER !" - a random flier depicting Bor Heavychain crushing both undead and dragons beneath his feet still decorates the chapel's entry, even in this day and age.
As for Julliet herself… she ventured for the quest for the ultimate… how else … power. Still she somehow manages to fulfill the duties of the cult's head priestess. Cheerleading routines included. POM-POMs too.
Hevnen's chars:
Ahri's epilogue
Having been an adventuress for only a while before marrying Kamigawa Ahri perhaps did not miss the thrill of such especially considering that her progeny's safety and upbringing was of course of the highest priority. The pair lived their tranquil life in Nightmare's domain undisturbed by danger or turmoils of any sorts… till perhaps their children entered that age. Kaguya, the one who idolized her father the most, sought to leave the domain on the first possible opportunity in order to perhaps gain fame of her own or maybe or maybe on the principle of doing the opposite of what her parent's advised… perhaps both. Surprisingly enough her siblings grew to be more timid still the kitsune wanderlust awakened in them … only later.
Duralan's Chars:
Ivar Heavychain's epilogue
The pharaoh of the Lost Asherati was less than appeased by the final resolution … following Ra-Men's defeat of course while also being the most displeased with the stalwart arrogance of Zargon's whose horn he still possessed.
Knowing all and well that the answers to his still unresolved issues could not be truly found on the material plane he ventured throughout the multiverse seeking to unravel, investigate all imprints he managed to retrieve from his fragmented mind.
In this venture he met few individuals he deemed trustworthy enough to allow them to associate themselves more or less directly with the Lost City (now known as Ivargard).
Before all of such could happen, however, he needed to remove one exquisitely impudent 'obstacle'.
[HIGH/EPIC lvl game hook here]
As for the rumors of his 'son' being born in the meantime… the monarch does not confirm…nor deny any of such… .
Gato's epilogue
The self-proclaimed 'The one and the only lord of the dance' perhaps did not really even notice that the skelly guy's demise all that much… his everpassionate reserves of flamboyance (and fanciness) were more or less split between the expansion (in fanciness how else) of Gatogpark as well as seeking other thrills. Limbo included. He was banished from there. Thrice.
Kajhera's Chars:
Sidhe Spellweaver's epilogue
The fate of Sidhe is obscured by various twists of delightful corruption… just be careful about the papers you're signing from this moment onward.
Gribel's Chars:
Bor Heavychain's epilogue
At the beginning it was not so easy to find… worthy opponents for Bor till he started venturing more into the outer planes where the Blood War (his future namesake) raged as violently as ever. With his battle-hunger continuously sated he could not help but descend a little by little into what mere mortals could confuse with madness. But as paradoxical as it may sound he was actually granted the 'true clarity of the battlefield' while facing both sides of the conflict alone on one of the layers of Abyss and emerging victorious from that epic sortie in a glory rarely radiating from mortals… for he was a mortal no more. With his already semi-awakened divine spark a new demi-goddish figure was 'born' and set for a never-ending hunt for the crimson thrill.
