Guild Wars: A Sinful Traitor's Wrath(Ice Breaker)

[shadowviperx]

Many Generations ago,
Evil walked the shores of Cantha.
It rode the wind and stalked in the shadows…
Waiting for the right moment…to strike.

Cantha was a great kingdom, filled with great mystery and wonder, a distinct land with its own flavor distinct from the other nearby lands of Tyria and Elona. This continent was a land teeming with life, filled with bustling people; adventurers, governmental figures, members of great factions, and everyone else in between. Creatures of wonder and danger alike roamed the wild, grassy fields of green, which in turn were decorated with bright lotus trees. Large cities stood as bastions of civilization, each with its own range of buildings, from simple, boxy homes to grand, towering pagodas. With its tranquil style of life, beauty to be seen through its lands, and people of various statuses to know, Cantha was a land teeming with a life of its own.

Of course, it used to be a peaceful land long ago, especially during the reign of Emperor Angsiyan. The emperor himself made efforts to promote peace even further by working to bring an end to a personal war that had ran strong in years past. Through his wisdom and diplomatic efforts, the war between two great factions known as the Kurzicks, druidic people of law and insight from Echovald Forest, and the Luxons, a nomadic collection of clans that sailed the Jade Sea, was brought to an end. With this move that brought the factions into the fold of the main Imperial government, spirits were now higher than ever, especially with the upcoming Harvest Festival, a time where the people thanked the gods for a bountiful harvest.

Unfortunately, hardly anyone would ever realize until too late that this peace would be very brief. More than that, the face of Cantha-and the people’s very way of life-would be changed forever…

Guild Wars: A Sinful Traitor’s Wrath

Notes: Alright, guys, I know a lot of you are probably getting sick of waiting. The good news is, I'm finally getting the opening chapter underway. The bad news is, as useful as it is to help me stay true to the game in terms of the storyline, my continuing progress in beating Guild Wars is kinda putting itself at the top of my brain for me. ^^; Apologies, I'll remedy that. Most likely it'll be a chapter a week, if I can keep myself writing. In the meantime, enjoy this little intro that I made to the story. The official guidebook to the game helped me come up with some of the info.

2 more things:

1. Any GW fan should know which campaign I'm fanficing.

2. The first four lines in italics are, word-for-word, the first four lines spoken during the game's cinematic. I have goo ears.

Does anyone else on MMOT even play GW? :S

[Reve]

NOOOO.

Please, put in a "Things on A Sinful Traitor's Wrath you should know!" topic.

I don't play GW (MOAR EXPENSIVE THAN TESIV: OBLIVION??!! ) and I didn't know what you were talking about TT_TT

[shadowviperx]

Oh, good LORD. Never thought I'd hear this considering how popular GW is. Well, then again, WoW is more popular.....Alright, that does sound like a good idea. Yeah, I'll get one going sometimg, if only it means this'll divert any more worried looks.

Alright folks, here's the scoop. Unfortunately, the lull of the wondrous online gaming world, along with a few graphic novels, have been proving a very strong distraction from creating my story(though they've given me billions of ideas to work with), plus my old computer was finally driving me to the brink of insanity from it's lack of functioning. So, seeing as my birthday was coming up, I finally decided I was sick of waiting and waiting and went out and got myself a brand new HP with intel centrino. This has to be the smartest move I've made on any of my birthdays(well, okay, it would've been smarter if I wouldn't have had to spend the money, but seeing as my old model still technically works(at all), I didn't really have a legitimate excuse to beg for a new one). Not only does this thing play Guild Wars properly, it plays it very well, with nice graphics to boot. Plus it plays other games that have been sidelined, like WoW and Warhammer 40,000 and such. I love this machine!

Of course, this means that I've been paying no attention to my old laptop, which still has my story. Seeing as it's been around a month since I first slapped this whole thing on the forums, I've decided everyone has waited long enough. Thus, I'll be transposing what I have from the prologue piece by piece on a new thread. At latest, this will start tomorrow afternoon for me. I know at one point in my life, my The Viper Strikes Next saga was a big staple in my fanficing life. Now, it's time I brought that back to life. So after tonight, no more delays. This story is finally gonna get off the ground!
