A week and a half or so ago, I asked players to come up with a background for the army that was rolling up on Havenlock.  I said that I would choose three submissions which I liked the most.  These are the three submissions that I have chosen!<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291898.msg14338116#msg14338116">Quote from: Bibliophilia on 15-08-2018, 19:58:19</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Mav, the wizard who was killed yesterday, was the bastard son of General Mason, ruler of the nation of Leith.  While the General was none too fond of his blow-by's brat, he was the only male offspring the man had and, frankly, the General needs little incentive to declare war.  Leith is a warmongering nation under a military dictatorship, wherein all citizens join the army by conscription when they reach adulthood.  The majority of citizens are orc, half-orc or human, and magic is considered a coward's weapon.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291898.msg14338185#msg14338185">Quote from: 1651Leviathan on 15-08-2018, 20:34:41</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I'll throw an idea into the mix! The enemy is a new force entering the fray, a mysterious order of knights who have sworn to end the depravity of the current war by striking down both sides with zealous might. Perhaps they've raised a host of the disenfranchised to do so: peasants whose farms were burnt, mercenaries, etc. I'm imagining that they'd be deeply flawed, corrupt, or overzealous. Some might be cynically playing their true believer comrades while they sack and rape across the countryside. Others might be genuinely faithful but believe that their righteousness justifies any means. Others might just be out for vengeance for a wrong done to them.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291898.msg14338365#msg14338365">Quote from: Zoastria on 15-08-2018, 22:19:06</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Playing off of the idea that even good men go bad in Havenlock Prison, and the recent boost in crime, perhaps  there is an evil or twisted shrine beneath that lays beneath the site. Hux discovered it not long after becoming warden there, and was enthralled by the other worldly being or God that it is host to. The approaching army have discovered this shrine - via a leak provided by one of the guards (or whomever would be most appropriately) - and believe Hux isn't using it to its full potential. They wish to  cleanse the site of Havenlock and then use the power housed beneath for their own gains. Their army consists largely of Drow and Drow-Blooded Half-Elves, as well as the occasional Half-Orc.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Zoastria, Leviathan, and Biblio, thanks for your submissions!  They were wonderful.  I really liked the other submissions, too.  It was hard to pick out just three.  As a reward for your creativity, please accept a single trait, you three.<br/><br/>Now, it is time to vote on your favorite submission.  The winner shall receive a level one class ability.  Although I do have a favorite, I will go ahead and abstain from voting.  Good luck, everyone!
