| Prologue, Page 01 | The world was called Annarrion. In this world of Annarrion, there were two great lands. The land north of the Equator was called Ascaria. The land south of the Equator was called Voranor. / Thousands of years ago, Ascaria broke into war. The very earth was shattered and Ascaria was broken into pieces. / To stop the war, the Precursor, greatest of all the Gods, unleashed an ancient tower. The terror was an ancient race of metallic monsters named Xalin. The Xalin conquered all the fragments of Ascaria. Millenia later, the Xalin began genocide on their sworn enemies, the elves. In many lands formed by Ascaria's destruction there raged fierce battles. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=2 |
| Prologue, Page 02 | The enslaved dwarf labored over the anvil for his cruel master. Lord Kenvixx had made him do this. He had taken the him against his will and forced him to make such a vicious weapon. / Maybe he was a coward for doing it. Was his freedom really so important? / It came at the price of this sword. A great blade made of pure unbreakable darksteel. / Darksteel was the most sought after of all the precious metals of Annarrion. It could shear through even adamantine. But that was not the most fearsome property of the vile sword.It was fiendishly enchanted to capture the soul of any elf it slew. There the soul would be tortured for eternity, never to find solace. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=3 |
| Prologue, Page 03 | Long ago, the dwarf hero Hunbar Steelmaster would have fought against Lord Kenvixx to his dying breath. He never would have agreed to the terms set down by the Xalin King. / Long ago, Hunbar Steelmaster had been on of the eight heroes who had defied Lord Kenvixx. / Long ago, three of the heroes, Allathar, Iludin, and Dein Uthin were slain. / Long ago, Hunbar had sworn to defeat Lord Kenvixx. / But, that was long ago. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=4 |
| Prologue, Page 04 | Lord Kenvixx was the king of the Xalin. He had ruled Annarrion for over five thousand years. A towering monstrosity of silver with adamantine spikes adorning his head and digits, Kenvixx was an enemy no warrior wanted to face off against. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=5 |
| Prologue, Page 05 | Yet, eight had. A century and a half ago, eight heroes had defied him and almost won. If it had not been for the intervention of the Green Dragon Lord, Vegraul, the Xalin King might have been in trouble. Because of that momentary vulnerability Lord Kenvixx had lost the favour of Avrish, the God of Slaughter and patron deity of the Xalin. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=6 |
| Prologue, Page 06 | To regain Avrish' favour, Kenvixx had started the war. The Elf-Xalin war. Once he had rid the world of elves, he would have regained his lost favour and honour. This sword would help him achieve that end. / Eight self-proclaimed "heroes". Three of which were dead and one was Kenvixx's prisoner. Only two more dwarves and two more elves remained before his vengeance would be complete. / Hunbar Steelmaster had served his purpose well. He had perfectly crafted Lord Kenvixx's dream weapon: Blood Tempest, or Rmiik Cojlotc in the Xalin tongue. / Hunbar wanted to do it. He wanted to take up the sword he had just made and drive it through the stomach of the evil warlord. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=7 |
| Prologue, Page 07 | Hunbar caught the reflection of Kenvixx looming behind him on the sword. He glanced over his shoulder. Hunbar turned, still holding the sword. He wanted to strike down the tyrant, wanted so bad to watch his silver blood run from the fatal sword wound and pool together on the floor and know Annarrion was safe... http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=8 |
| Prologue, Page 08 | But, he couldn't. The only weapon greater than the sword held him at bay: Kenvixx's most poetent weapon... / The weapon of fear. "Is that all your Lordship requires?" Hunbar asked meekly. / "Yes, slave," Kenvixx's grating telepathic voice rang in Hunbar's head. Instead of striking down the tyrant, Hunbar had sealed the fate of many lives. / "Be free." / Including his own. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=9 |
| Chapter One Splash | The Legend of Alceron / A Tale of the Elf-Xalin War / Chapter One: A Father's Confidence http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=10 |
| Chapter One, Page 01 | The commander of the elf forces of Alkena stood on the Kirien Ridge looking down on the veritable sea of silver and red from the day's battle shining in the light of the sunset. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=11 |
| Chapter One, Page 02 | Many more elves than Xalin had been killed that day. Ferno had to remind himself that while the elves would recover their numbers, the Xalin could not. Ferno's parents had been killed in a Xalin raid when he was very young, when the Elf-Xalin war had began. Ever since then he had devoted his life to the eradication of the Xalin. Few military personnel knew more than he did of Xalin. The Xalin were unnatural creatures and when they died, they did not leave corpses. Rather, they melted into pools of molten silver which could only be described as their blood. Of their adamantine adornments, only the central one on their heads remained. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=12 |
| Chapter One, Page 03 | The Xalin's evil god Avrish had created them long ago with his own foul blood. As punishment for this deed, Avrish had been banished to the hells and thus rendered incapable of creating more Xalin on the Material Plane, so long as he was trapped there. With the Xalin's numbers being finite, it would only take time, patience, and cunning to fully destroy the Xalin race and liberate the worled of the cursed beings. Hopefully before the Xalin did the same to the elves. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=13 |
| Chapter One, Page 04 | So now Ferno served as a tactician, trying to stay away from the fighting but still finding a way to be active in the war. It wasn't that he was afraid to lose his life. Far from it, he had killed scores of Xalin in his lifetime. He was just afraid of dying before his son could make it on his own. Alceron was a member of the noncombatants that scoured the fields after the battles to collect the only solid part left behind when a Xalin was killed: the central head spike. The spike would then be later taken to smiths to be forged into arms and armour. And Ferno thought Alceron did just a fine job picking them up. / "Maybe I should have taught him how to fight Xalin instead of hunt animals..." Ferno thought with a frown as he watched his son. http://legendofalceron.comicdish.com/index.php?pageID=14 |
