Heroes Online plot

Unread postby Avonu » 20 Feb 2015, 16:24

Quick summary which I done at HC at some request, so I post it too.

Image

Archon Belketh and Emperor Duncan want to talk and send their emissaries to each others. Of course emissaries are intercepted by Void Order/Angels and heroes need to figure, what's going on.

During the meeting in Dragon Knights' Hidden House in Whispering Plains there is a problem... or two: there are two Yorath Al-Bekhirs. Before anything can be done, Demon Deava attacks (and when she dies, she turn into nothing... same as Phrias in DoC) but her attack was only a distraction - Yorath Al-Bekhir imposter steals The Songline "Elrath's Song" - a powerful artifact which can summon Elrath himself in Spirit World.

After long persue through Whispering Plains Haven/Necropolis heroes encounter Elrath's Dragon Knight Sar Khayn, who tell them that imposter is Sandro himself and who help them cross the Veil and walk into Spirit World. They are too late - Sandro use Void Magic to erase Elrath's memories but heroes save the dragon and transport him to "Elrath's Cradle" - a monastery in Lichtfels and stronghold of Church of Light.

They are greet by angel Erion, who simple can't belive that Elrath himself is brought to Ashan, not to mention about that he is dying - "This must be illusion."
However clerics have more common sense and path Elrath's wounds - but they can't heal him. Only White Weavers, banished by angels, can do that but not alone. They need faith in Elrath from common folks to heal Dragon God.

Elron and angels are scared to lost their power (if their Dragon God die, they will be powerless) and are doing stupid things, like trying to stop heroes - you can guess the result of this conflict.

Villages are slowly converted by Void Heralds to abandon their faith in Dragon Gods and after a while Herolds open a portal to Lichtfels to attack Church of Light with full strength... and Sandro himself is trying to finish off Elrath.
Emperor Duncan and Archon Belketh are coming to the rescue but heroes and Sar Khayn need to fight Sandro alone. Sandro reveals:
Sandro: Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the face of Ashan, none is bred to be weaker then a mortal god! A Hero's victory is sung about him long after hs death. Great kings and queens are remembered long after their remains are buried in crypts. It is the belivier's faith in the gods that grants them their immortality. Bu when the faith fades, their power abate, their glory dies. What remains of gods that are forgotten? Nothing!
This is the Revelation of the Void!"
However:
Elrath: "The Nethermancer speaks the Truth. Your faith is the essence of things hoped for. It provides the strength to carry forth. Whatever you consider true, whatever you think is honorable, right and pure, is there anything worthy of prise, dweel on this things. Belive in them! Fight for them!"
Sandro "has vanished into oblivion" and "touched by Volron a Dragon" heroes save the day.
Emperor Duncan and Archont Belketh... do not sign a treaty. They sign an alliance.
Sar-Khayn: And remember, Avonu, there is nothing more powerful than a mortal god that enkindles the belief of his fallowers to such extent that he becomes... immortal!

But there was a scholar, Al-Kadhir, met by heroes on sands of Whispering Plains who seeked power through Shantiri Ruins and Dragon Gods... he now think that Void is this power... but this is another story.


PS
Is there any topic with general Ashan lore here?

I don't think so, other than the timeline. It would have been great to have a complete summary of the whole Ashan story on our pages.
In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: Magnanimity, In Peace: Goodwill.
