I am a Tillian elf that lives in the kingdom of Rose. The Tillian people’s arch enemy are the Wartacks. They are twice the height of a Tillian and made entirely of rock.

    Eric Battleaxe stood on guard like he was always trained to do. He didn’t know which came first, but the one thing he did know how to do was wield the axe and he wielded it well. His small elven body was taut and toned, dressed in the tunic and small battle armor of the elven army of which he was a lowly private. Destined to fall in one of the small and petty wars that were always waged in the underworld, fought since the dawn of the sundering for no other reason than a few acres of land or a better access to the river, his sworn duty was the same as his families for eons and that was to defend the expanse of Lord Corelion unto death.…

Your eyes, which used to be a brilliant and enchanting blue, were closed so that those of weak mind, didn’t have to see the naked truth of pain. They tried to make you look alive, plastering your skin with artificial liquids. They gave you red lips; ironically the same color as your blood.…
