Would anyone on this forum like to know Exilion's history? The actually character is quite good- the person who came on here as him went a bit too far with his caustic nature.
Exilion was born in Exil. The leader of Exil at tht time was Exil the 12th. His mother was very much submisive to her wild husband, and played a very small roll in Exilion's up bringing. His father taught him to fight mercilessly and show little friendship. His father worked mainly from the "every man for himself" mentality which led on to Exilion's severe disregard for everyone else around him. He hated and pitied the kind nature of the communities his saw in Golgat because of this and wanted to find someone to work with who was considerably harsher. Someone who wanted as much as he did to end the peaceful life so many citizens enjoyed- Caphcerat Amahn.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin- or continue, strictly speaking...
Caphcerat was an expert in the areas of military logistics, sword fighting and magic. He was aloof from the rest of life and lived in a quite town, where days never seemed complete. The sun rose in the evenings and set at night, and then the moon set and evening came again. This town ws called Salun. Caphcerat kept his past secret, but I will explain it to you.
He used to live in the dimension of Laylete, until there was a brutal revolution let by Erinhep, the King's general. He was followed by an army of many people. One of the senior officers in the army was Firando Seagoe. His two right- hand men were Baracos and Dante. The army managed to slay the king, but his daughter was said to have escaped- supposedly with the help of Minyalen, who I will speak more of later. Erinhep took up leadership of Laylete, but ws soon overthrown by the king's nephew Loro, and killed. His army however ws just banished and esentially locked out of the dimension. Loro's visier was a man, well versed in martial arts called Xpyros. It was unknown to him them that Xpyros was actually in league with Erinhep before he died and tried secretly from then on to enable the revolutionary army back into Laylete.
The army found itself in a dimension called Golgat and started planning to reclaim Laylete immediately, under the leadership of Firndo Seagoe and his two right- hand men. One of the men in the army however, protested that he had his own ideas of how to recapture Laylete and left- he wasn't seen by the army for a few years. His name? Caphcerat. He also needed support. A few people from the revolutionary army had followed him, but not enough to gain more power than Firando. He needed some relyable and powerful allies- which is how he eventually met Exilion... |

| Caphcerat did not compete with Firando's dominant army. He simply let them do their work, but still anticipated its demise. He patiently built up his army and tried to gain information about Golgat. Through this, he came across a subject which greatly interested him. "Crarden's Orbs" supposedlythey were created by Crarden in a revolution hundreds of years past to create an army capable of bringing the revolution to an end. To get soldiers in it, they were carefully picked- Crarden tested there courage and skills, and if they proved goodenough they were awarded 7 of one type of orb. They bestowed elemental power on their user, enough to enable them to lift boulders and wield immenslypowerful magic, all that sort of thing. Once Crarden had amassed the army, he moved in to the war... |

| So where in the Realms have you placed this location? Do you run all your campaigns here? |

| These stories are not based anywhere in the realms you would be used to. I have played many RPGs but am relitively new to this RPG series. I would be grateful if you could tell me what a campaign is- I am new to this and have not come across that before... |

Now, at this time, Golgat was in a state of anarchy. The revolution saw the uprising of a sizeable number of ideas and policies- the was communism, imperialism, capitalism- the list could go on forever- there were more isms than you could shake a stick at! Nevertheless, on the side of the present monarchy, Crarden's army prevailed. Kagen helped to get the world settled again and then left and was never seen again. He told his allies that he was off study in a quiet place. Crarden's orbs were eventually scattered around the world in fear of the wrong people getting hold of them, and forgotten for a good many years, until the heroes of my story found them and eventually got rid of Firando.
After the fall of Firando, the way was clear for Caphcerat to take his place, and use his more successful research and army to take centre stage as token antgonist in Golgat. By this time, he had appointed Exilon and Lord Triketh as his two right- hand men. Lord Trikketh was a confidence trickster- he used his fake title to gain important information resources, which proved to be very successful. Exilion, on the other hand went under false identities to gain information and cause trouble in a worldwide message network set up by Minyalen. (A quite interesting parallel with Exilion's antics on this site...) Exilion was found out eventually though, and following fierce conflict with Minyalen's allies at the headquaters, Exilion burnt the main building down- severing all contact between different areas of Golgat... |

After this deed, Exilion wasn't too popular, as you can imagine and was banished from city after city, village after village etc. And Exilion turned even more hostile. His goal now ws to destroy every settlement which was against him- which ws unfortunately every single one on the planet...
Even worse, Exilion was perfectly capable of achieving this- as well as his own superior technique, he also had a big army. He tackled a huge city and the home of one of the rulers of Golgat. Queen Alada's army was overcome and the city was occupied by Caphcerat's forces. Exilion brought several cities to their knees, but the destruction ceased when he got to the home town of Minyalen himself. And Zemd will be happy to hear, that after a grueling battle with Minyalen, Exilion suffered a defeat and retreated back to Caphcerat's nearest stronghold. From then on, Caphcerat took over and enjoyed success for a while, until the same people who felled Firando, defeated Caphcerat. |

Head scribe is he? What do you mean by that exactly? I hardly ever hear from him...
And Exilion is a very powerful lvl. 90 wizard. A very good antagonist in our game and a valuable participant. He might be annoying on this site, but if you knew him personally, I think you would forgive and forget. |

Oh, so now you're claiming to be friends with Mumadar in real life?
And 'Head Scribe' I usually use to refer to Alaundo; what Zemd means is that for a very long time, he had the highest post count of anyone here. That and the fact that 90% of those posts were truly useful. |

No, I hardly ever hear from him (or see from him,) on this site. I do not really know him. I have noticed the harsh and critical way you speak to me. Are you trying to start a conflict? I have no desire to take part in it anyway.
From this site, to clear this up, I know:
Lord Trikketh, Exilion, "King" Tiax, Omega, Aneama and Globasloth. |

I don't mean any offense (neither to Pendangorth nor Bookwyrm the actual highest poster)
What i mean is that we are quick to forgot the ones who truly added to the forum whereas we continue to speak about the trouble makers again and again.
Mumadar was the first learnt scribe with only very valuable posts. They were clear, simple and useful. |

He is level 90 by the standards of the customised set of rules that me and several friends completed. The reason we made this set was because ,as there would be, there were things we liked as there were things we didn't. Level 150 is the highest in our rules- although very few people reach it except important characters in the game. As well as rules, we also created our own world in which to play it. Level 90 players have around 900HP and can cast class 30 magic, up to level 10. If you want me to, I can explain that later as well. I enjoyed playing the game- our rules etc. did work, and it proved very successful.

I happens sometime, just push the 'previous page' button to go back.
As to follow on the subject, i don't like much high level campaign. I think players lost a big part of the thrills in an adventure. Some aspects like food/sleep/water/travel aren't a problem anymore. As well as diplomacy since when you are elminster-like you just come and everyone listen to you.
And with a DM point of view, the more the players are powerful, the harder it is to prepare the game |

| Or, the higher the level, the more important stuck-up, snotty, feared wizards etc. you can wallop. I like it when Generals etc. come up to you, say how many hundreds of foe they have slain followed by the usual "I will defeat you mercilessly," speech and then raising your staff and blowing their head off. Poor vermin don't know what hit them! |

| It's what i said. Everything can be done by such god-like characters. That lessen the pleasure to overcome the chalenge, in France we have a phrase that pictures it "A vaincre sans difficulté, on triomphe sans gloire" (= If you have success without difficulties, you won't have glory. But it's better in french ) |
