Hello WET readers. I have an idea and I need a bit of help and encouragement. I have a warlock here who is probably a typical warlock in that she is seeking power. I can see this is a well worn and typical plotline and I want to make it interesting and fun for my guildmates.
This is my idea and I am trying to keep it fairly simple. I found an in game item, its a Libram of Rumination. It sparked an idea with the wording on the tool tip: "Dark runes skitter across the surface". On the inside it showed a few pictures of some odd looking lava pits and the opening of the Dark Portal, I think, its hard to tell. Anyway I thought of a crazy idea for this warlock to seek a way of making a small Portal to the Nether on her own. Will she succeed? Highly doubtful, and I sincerely hope the Fellowship will try and stop her.
What is the Portal you ask? I am simply using that as a generalisation of some way for her to make a Gate similar to the ones the Legion uses to call forth minions. So I had in mind to have her find this huge tome. I will describe it as I see it in my mind:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The book, if one could call it that, was found in a musty old chest buried in the ruins of an ancient Temple. The ruins were nestled in Eldre'Thelas, many broken buildings and hidden cellars hide treasures for those who seek them.
Vira used the power of her Shadow magic and the strength of her Felguard and the chittering cryptic advice of her imp to open the chest. There it was, a heavy tome of what looked to be leather for the cover, but it was bound in felsteel straps and locked shut with nine runic locks. The Felguard was impassive as he hefted the book and hoisted it to his shoulders. The imp chittered and scolded and teased Vira with verses of cryptic puzzles.
"The tome of Sin is what you found,
the mischief maker makes his sound.
The locks are nine the sins are divine.
The meaning is clear, to open my dear.
To find the runes of dark intent,
to open locks of demons scent.
Each lock a rune with counterpart,
to find the runes is just a start.
Rune of Vex is where you begin,
to unlock secrets hidden within.
The rune itself is on a bell,
Rung in shattered courtyard fell.
Secrets dark and a yearning heart,
Must clash to bring the glowing start.
Jealousy may vex the soul,
Words of lust will make it fall.
The imp fell silent when Vira glared at him and they took the tome back to her Keep. She spent months trying to decipher the meaning of the imps verses. It did not help he often mixed up the lines and contradicted his own words many times.
Her final straw came one day while trying to insert a rune into the slot of the first binding and it threw her across the room. After finding the imp and nearly strangling him with her bare hands and then threatening to feed him to the Undercity Moat monster, he told her she had to find the runes in their respective places and actually activate them somehow before she could use them to unlock the bindings.
So now she is sending various people on missions and collecting the runes. In hopes of unlocking the Tomes secrets.
