Background History

Symsay ~The Ancient One~

The old speaker took his place by the fire, and related the story to the young ones gathered in earnest. His gravelly voice, aged with years and time began to relate to them a story only whispered throughout the millennia……..
Beyond the devastation of the black molten lake of brimstone and fire upon the fourth plane of Nine Hells, resides Sidel, "Tourngraash the Manipulator", "Lifesbane the ColdStalker", "High Chief OverDaemon of the Sire Cauldeen".
His life's blood was the wars of men. In tales told for generations, it was he who was responsible for ending the Age of Peace and bringing forth the Age of the Arisings. It was his whispers in the ears of men that brought about the Destruction of Caarenfold, the greatest city in the forming Empire. It was his tricks that turned the Empress from the Emperor, splitting the known world asunder. It was his conniving that caused the Elven Race to be mistrusted and eventually hunted. And it was he who was responsible for the Tenfold Razing's that incited Avari's Rage, which brought down the Old Empire.
It was during the Age of the Arisings that Sidel came upon the Dragonkind, Emera. Mighty she was, clad in the iridescence of her scales, shifting from green to black to red to green, a kaleidoscope of colors. To Sidel's dismay, this creature fought alongside the opposing forces, the humans, combining her breath with their steel. He mused at this; the thought of a Dragon fighting alongside mortal men beguiled him.
In an act of whimsy, he shape-shifted into the form of a human champion, and honorably challenged the Dragonkind to single combat.
As honorable as she was beautiful, Emera accepted the challenge to combat amongst the Plains of the Desolate, the area which once fruitfully held the vast kingdom of Noldara, supposed birthplace of the Elves.
When combat began, it was Sidel who threw down his weapons in an act of mercy and brought reason into the fight. Through his manipulations, he uncovered the true story behind the Dragonkind's alliance with the Human Legions. It was Pelonius the Usurper, who had sought to bring the Dragonkind under his rule. His spies, under his instruction found Emera's nest and spirited away three of her eggs while he was in audience with Emera herself, in an attempt to sway her to taking sides in the approaching war. When the knowledge of her eggs abduction reached her, she was forced into servitude under Pelonius' fist. Sidel, seeing opportunity beckon to him, made an offer to the Dragonkind. Sidel vowed he would find her eggs, rescue them from their captors, and return them to Emera, if she, upon the safe return of her Dragonkind eggs, would change her allegiance. In desperation, Emera agreed. Sidel dispatched his shadows to every corner of the countryside, looking for Dragonkind eggs guarded by men. When they were found the Shadows attacked the humans, leaving none alive to tell the tale, or to get word to Pelonius.
Sidel returned to the Dragon saddened and shamefaced. He had found the eggs, but only two survived. The third, was destroyed by the foul and cruel humans that had held it captive. He had been too late.
Abandon the war, he told her, with tears flowing from his eyes. There was no bargain between them. He had failed her. Mourn, he told her. Turn away from the violence wrought by the petty, murderous humans she fought alongside, and mourn her lost egg. He knelt before her and offered his life in exchange for her youngling. The wind whipped around him marking the departure of the grieving Dragonkind, a cruel smile crept across the human champion's face.
It was said that Emera unleashed such a fury upon her former human masters that the telling of it still causes the bravest of men to shudder and quake even after almost four thousand years from it's first telling. Sidel returned to the fourth plane carrying his prized possession, Emera's "destroyed" egg. He had heard the prophecies and the foretelling of a Daemon that would arise from the under plane riding a Dragon that was his loyal servant. This Being would come and rule above all those who had come before him. Sidel knew he was this Being. But one of the Dragonkind could not be hatched except by it's own mother. If kept away from its mother for too long the egg would hibernate and possibly never come to be. Fearing this the Daemon used his magiks to pervert the egg and hatch it of unnatural means.
What came forth from the egg was as none as Sidel had seen before. It appeared a cross of Dragon and Humankind. The head and upright stature of a human, the wings, tail and scales of a dragon. But more importantly, Sidel could feel the strong current of magik course through the small body. This being had power.
He named her "Draga the Hell Spawn", "Blade of Nine Hells". In later tales, her name was told to be "Whisperer the Little Bird", "Keevok the Trickster", and the name that survives her to this day and the one she calls true, "Symsay the KaosBringer".
Though he could not teach her anything she would not learn on her own, it was his lies that kept her under his thumb. His lies of how she came to be, and why she must be his. Lies about her mother and the risks he had taken for her. Lies of her mother's death, and the vow that he would care for her in her youth and the eternal debt that she would serve him forever. His slave firmly bound to him, he set about her lessons. Sidel claimed pride over her teachings, but it is believed that Symsay's magiks were inherent to her. It was Sidel's folly to believe he could teach one as her magik as one who could teach the snow to fall, or the wind to blow.
Her most useful magik, the Mantle of the Shapeshifter, was one that appeared while she was still a hatchling. She could change her form from the appearance of a beautiful Elf maiden to that of a Dragonkind, almost an exact replica of Emera, the one who bore her. It was in this form Sidel felt the hint of fear trickling down his back like the victims of the NightStalker Shadows that brought Death as quickly as the Schreaver in a rage. It was in this form that "Symsay KaosBringer" first achieved the Dragon Fire akin to the DragonKind. But unknown to Sidel, the power would manifest itself in the half-form that Symsay called her true form, making her even more dangerous. Yet, Sidel was confident that she would remain his to command.
As she grew, so did her powers and abilities. She naturally acquired spells as other children acquire height. She could cast attack magiks as well as defensive. In combat, she would shift to dragonform, unleash dragon fire then cast a spell to step through the folds of dimensions to arrive back amidst the battle behind her opponents. She would use her illusions to draw the enemy in and destroy before it was know she was there. There were many things that Symsay came to know which were a result of Sidel's teachings, his cunning and guile, his knowledge of combat, and the art of manipulation. While under Sidel's influence, it was she, in the form of the Whisperer, who controlled the thoughts of the Dwarf Thain Brightforge, convincing him into war with the Dark Dwarves and their leader Flintock BlackHammer.
Within her first thousand years, Sidel planned his uprising against the other rulers of Nine Hells. Most cowered, fleeing at the knowledge of the One Who Would Come being the most powerful weapon in Sidel's arsenal. In a campaign that would last two thousand years, Sidel brought eight of the nine planes under his rule. His greed for power knew no bounds, Sidel set his eyes on the ninth plane. But, The Dark Lord Mephistopheles ruled the ninth plane. He was the Grand High Daemon. He was "He Who Sees All, He Who Knows All". He had knowledge of Sidel's treachery and planned his defenses appropriately. For nine hundred years the battle raged upon the ninth plane, Sidel's forces against Mephistopheles' defenses, with only Symsay being the deciding factor. It was then that "He Who Sees All, He Who Knows All" decided he must remove Sidel's queen from the battle field.
The Dark Lord moved just in time. As the Final Battle raged, as Sidel was commanding his Daemonic Legions astride Symsay in Dragonform, from among Mephistopheles' armies a beacon of iridescent light arose.
Ancient and Huge, Emera still commanded respect above all Dragonkind. Her legendary atrocities against the legions of Pelonious filled the minds of all on the bttlefield. She emanated a Dragon fear so ferocious, the Dark Lord's own troops scattered. Within seconds, none stood on the battlefield, only two beings flew above. To the naked eye, they could have been mirror images. Symsay with Sidel upon her back, clinging to whatever confidence he still had, trying his desperately not to give in to the Dragon fear. Emera was not alone. Upon her back rode a human knight. They maneuvered passes toward each other testing each other's mettle. The few spells Sidel casted seemed ineffective against Emera and her rider. Finally the two Dragonkind attacked one another. Ferocity mirrored upon the two. They raged against each other, their riders forgotten. Sidel fell, unseated from his mount, landing harshly upon the naked battlefield. Emera's rider accustomed to her rages, remained astride.
When finally the Dragonkind locked eyes, recognition flared. Before words could be spoken, before Dragon Tears could be shed, Sidel's treachery struck its final blow. A Daemon Spear, barbed and borne of the Bloodlust Magiks, pierced the heart of the Emera. Symsay's mother ceased to be.
In tales later told, it is believed Sidel's last words uttered where, "I should have killed you when I stole your egg." Emera plummeted to the ground as Symsay arced into her death dive towards Sidel. Casting a protection spell, Sidel sought to counter her magik. But Symsay fired her Dragon fire and successfully avoided Sidel's return magik,
Emera's body hit the ground, sending her human rider running towards Sidel. His helmet had long since been lost, but the gleaming armor, stained with Emera's blood was still intact. He gripped the lance that he brought with him from the mortal world. Heart Render hit its mark as it had numerous times before, the weapon struck with such a force that Sidel was impaled completely to the lance's hilt, four feet of the shaft was embedded in the ground. Sidel, "Tourngraash the Manipulator", "Lifesbane, the ColdStalker", "High Chief OverDaemon of the Sire Cauldeen", was no more. His body and the lance, HeartRender, turned to stone, and to this day it is said the Dark Lord Mephistopheles keeps it as a trophy to his own triumph. Free of Sidel and his lies for the first time in her long life, a grieving Symsay gathered the unconscious knight and returned to the World of Men.
But that is another tale…
