<span style="font-style: italic">This is open to all. just fill out the character sheet before you actually make a post.  I am new here so play nice. this story is going to be fairly open ended i do not really have a set direction for it planned</span><br/><br/>Name: Varnel Adathian<br/>Power: The Swordsmith (The ability to summon an array of swords that each has its own unique power)<br/>Afilliation: Wardens<br/>Age: 25<br/>Appearance: Tall with a lean muscular build, brown skin, but Storm grey eyes<br/>Brief history:Orphaned from a young age he grew up in a small village raise by family friends at a young age he presented magic and was sent to the Warden academy where he quickly showed a natural skill with battle and strategy that allowed him to quickly progress through the ranks. He was made First Warden (Warden commander) after the upper levels of Military command had been assassinated.<br/><br/><br/>He stood on the edge of the valley over looking the massacre that had been the greatest battle in over 300 years. The Sword of War, his most powerful weapon still glowed in his hand. Dead filled the Valley floor both Human and Deathsworn. The creatures of Darkness that had swept over the land. At there head was an enemy that All had though long defeated. His true name had been lost to History but he was known only as "The Abomination." A creature that had twisted the laws of magic so much that it no longer resembled the human it once was. It was said that its creation had brought every magic user in the world to their knees vomiting.<br/><br/>A soldier came up the rise holding a folder of parchments.<br/>"Mi'lord First Warden. We have a count of the dead and wounded." he said saluting<br/>"Leave it in my tent. I want those patrols out in case they try to surprise us. They are still too near to get at all complacent"<br/>"Aye sir."<br/><br/>The enemy forces had been massive and while his forces had cut down a large portion of the enemy, a force much larger than his own still lurked in the hills to the north. The Wardens, they had guarded this nation for generations and now they were finally to be tested and the group of magical warriors had done their part breaking the enemy lines.<br/><br/>He looked back into the Valley at the sight of the greatest military victory that anyone had ever witnessed and knew that it was not over. "Eventually we will have to take this fight to Him. The Abomination must be killed if our home is to survive." he said to himself.
