Come on, son

>>54214615
It rises after ten thousand days, I dunno what isn't generic about that.

>>54214651
But does it mean "after ten-thousand days," or does it mean "when ten-thousand moons rise into the sky?" Maybe it means after ten thousand generations of the dynasty descended from the moon goddess."
Its cliche, but not generic.

Nah, it can be his adopted father's wall, hiding the fact that it was his real father's sword, from when he was the great hero Lionblade.

>>54214548
you're good, it said fathers wall. So it was probably the wall of his father's homestead. The orphan's guardians hung up the sword until the day the boy would be ready

While on a tavern the hero is attacked by henchmen of the spectral army. A mysterious old man steps in and easily dispenses with the brutes thanks to a glowing white sword and powerful spells. He reveals to the hero that this is just the beginning and that his only chance to survive will be to train under his wing in the art of the sword as well as in that of magic.
The hero sets aside his pride and accepts his offer.

The Lun'dar Woods elves. A proud and noble people, attuned to Nature, better than everyone at magic, inhumanely gracious.
Among them is Valyanna, the elf queen's daughter, a rebellious and spunky spirit, who joins Farmboy's team as an archer, after reluctantly allying with him.

I would unironically enjoy playing in this setting.

There is a Dark Lieutenant confined to the reaches of an obsidian prison in the bowels of a magma-ridden mountain that is infact, the long-dead carcass of a massive extra-planar creature whose blood was equivalent of lava, and has sustained it's bloodlust on the creatures remains, transforming it into something sulfurous, vile and soaked in the most unbearable of heat.

The Dwarves unwittingly built a hold upon the very same relic of a forgotten age, and the Dark Lieutenant waits eagerly to be released, as it is no longer what-ever vile abomination it was in service to the demon-king but something of higher perverted measure that would surely bring about abbadon and chaos if ever freed.

It whispers to the unwitting stonesmiths of Crawn's hold, and draws them in prayer and worship to the Black god of the soot mountain providing them with rich metals gems and blood rocks, the produce of this hold and generative power laid forth the foundations for obsidian streaked metallic weapons, favored for the use in mastercraft metalwork and bladwork alike, especially with it's reactive properties to bloodstone, a rare mineral found at the forsaken fields, the battleground of the Demonking's armies and the 12 heroes.

Then everyone tries too hard to be original, somthing that starts with somewhat more generic premise will seem original.

To keep with the thread
>The human king is being manipulated by evil duke Gaban, who is secretly a third dark lieutenant and leader of the secret organization called "Court of the spiders"

>>54216247
Only the king's brother, Ebberon, knows of the duke's sinister intentions, but he has been arrested for treason and was locked away in the depths of cloudhaven castle.

>>54216247

The Court of Spiders trains deadly assassins, kidnapping children and orphans and brainwashing them. The Spiderlings, as they're named, are loyal through and through to Duke Gaban. All of them, except Kay, the Defector, a young assassin sent to kill Farmboy but won over by his cause. Kay slowly becomes Farmboy's best friend, but almost betrays him in a moment of doubt later on.

The Spiderlings wear creepy blank masks and black cowls. They master shadow magic which makes their eyes glow red, and the arts of poison, but have no will of their own. They're all proeficient with knives, and seem to feel nothing.

>>54216385
sounds like a blatant ripoff of samurai jack desu.

The Dwarves. Hard drinking scottish accented short people living in mountain halls named Karak X. They are grumpy, use axes and hammers, and have a bitter hatred toward the elves. However, the dwarven companion of the protagonist, Gromli, finds himself making an unlikely friendship with the elf Tyriondas

The other dark lieutenants do not want to see the Black God being freed, for he will undoubtedly become the demon-king's favourite, and so will do everything in their power to keep him imprisoned, even going so far as helping the hero.

So, the hero is having two elves>>54216094 in his party?

The Thousanded faced Demon-King was known and hated for often taking consorts of human women to his realm, where they were never seen again, only one survivor of an abduction to the Demon King's Court of Many selves has been recorded, and she has since become infamously known as the great Hagmother of Belchrouses' bog, a place of rot, filth and affliction, ridden with twisted various species of amphibious frog-men that roam the swamps providing Demonic Contract to spurned and hated outcast females across the land, all at the behdst of the hagmother, who churns a massive cauldron at the center of the great bog forest, filled with eyes and bizzare powers and forces that work their ways into the lands of civilized men for purposes unknown,.

The Hagmother, is undoubtedly insane, or has been elevated to an existence completely alien to mortal comprehension, dealing with it/her is diffcult, as her lands, in addtion the sea devils that inhabit, are also the settlement for bog trolls, the worst imaginable exemplars of trollish kind, with extensive regeneration over their lesser kin.

Phylexrius, a location hidden in the Jhudnglyr Mountains was once a home to a yet unnamed species that was lost to time, and tales of crytaline ruins with strange shifting features is often reported from those who venture there if taking the trade route through Jaron's pass.

>>54216460
Of course, elves of different kingdoms.

>>54216618

They have a fiercely competitive rivalry, and both secretly fancy Farmboy.

Phimmaeriens, the older speices that were the heralds and mediums between man and the gods, are almost all but extint- one of the first victims of the Demon-wars which the "Dark one of Many Faces" Visited upon during this age of strife.

Presumably, with the death of their civilization, so were the divine arts of channeling, proxying, and mantling of the heavens lost. The Elves seek out possibility of their survival per the ancient alliance and relations shared between the two races since conception being honored.

>>54212635
Only one person, chosen by Destiny and bearing the Twelve Sacred Artifacts, though I guess he can lend them to team members if appropriate, will be able to close the Door of Malice again.
The first of those artifacts is >>54214930 , Claw of the Sun, Lionblade's sword.

The other dark lieutenants distrust her and think that she is the most likely to betray them. Whiteskull is the most vocal about this.

>>54216618
Maybe Tyrondias can be a High Elf since the other is a Wood Elf. Look fancier, unparalled in every form of art, and even haughtier.

>>54216639
Notably, among these sacred artifacts, there is not a single one that resembles any sort of helm or head protection. This is, in fact, because the Claw of the Sun offers its wielder protection against any form of head injury.

But to know any of that, you have to pay a heavy and dangerous price.

>but was prophecized to return after the risings of ten-thousand moons
That's only 27 years and some change. What a shitty seal.
Unless you mean 10,000 full moons I guess, then it's 324, not counting blue moons, so probably closer to 300. Which I guess is alright, Sealing Away Evil wise.

Aeldrien, the Human-conquered Elven kingdom of once wide renown for it's legendary slave empire, lies to the northwest of the continent ruled by Celpharon V, son of the late high Abolisher Celpharon IV, whom slew the 'Violet Prince', Veshct Dragghst, the Elf Voorling blooded prince of the city many years ago, ending a legacy of bondage, demonic contract, bartering, and dark sorcery at the hands of the shade elves under Draggst's tyrannic rule, stopping a mass sacrifice of the enslaved human populace's to appease the Demon-king armies and to further his own position in the cosmic hierarchy.

Opposed to outright genocidal retribution upon the once prosperous inhabitants of the city after saving it from this horrid fate, Celpharon ordered that all slave-masters and elven houses immediately bear the children of the slaves who had the highest piety within the aristocracies social circles as to humble them with the burderns of mortality, a price paid for the assistance of the God of Order and Lust, Eriprahditus of the Gouthian Pantheon of fods. This occured on the now celebrated dusk of theives, in which partnership and tribute to Eriprahditus is done through song, dance, drink, and coppulation at the end of the eve. The city boasts a small Elven population moderate half-elven population and large human population now because of this, and has suffered little barring criticism for the cities patron deity.

The Vooroughmagh, the shade-skinned razor-toothed foul-blooded who dwell in the corrupted violet forests and the fissures of that scarred land, however have begun numerous raids on trade routes, caravans and travellers, as retribution for the loss of their long-time master and kinsman, and dispatch of justice remains difficult due to current political stability still being cemented into the new kingdom.

>>54216885
It's actually a test. If you are truly pure of heart and marry her, she will be the most loving and loyal wife to have ever lived.

If by the end of the Demon-King's reign you still love her for who she is, she will reveal her true form as the faerie queen.
