Endshade

Endshade, known also ingame as Endshade, or more simply, End, Joined the server on May 26, 2021

Origins
Endshade was a militant in the South Sands group, and he made a lot of friends and climbed upon the ranks, becoming a major politics player and a general. He and his friends were in an operation to stamp out a coup, but then, when the threat of battle was too much, they abandoned him to fend for himself, where he was left for dead by the leaders of the coup. He, finally, with no will to live left, stumbled upon a dark hole in the earth. He, a decided to jump in, knowing whatever was in there would be better than what he had now. But, he was wrong, so very, very wrong.

There, he met the god of the void, Erebus. Erebus kept him company, but also kept him as his minion, to do his bidding. Endshade did tasks that changed him, that made him more bloody, permanently. Erebus played mind games, he threatened, and he killed with malice. Endshade's body also began to change, corrupting to the color of the void, and his eyes turning white to see in the vaccum. Endshade finally slew a demon with his shadow sword, when something called to him. Something.... bloody

He finally escaped when something called him to the surface. something took over him, and then, suddenly, he turned on Erebus. (Endshade later realized this to be the goon staff's cry) Erebus, who did not expect him to be so rash, was not expecting his own trained killers' experience and laughed, laughed until he was too late. As Endshade climbed out of the hole that damned him, He stabbed Erebus in the side. Erebus, however, lashed out with his trident and cut Endshade's his eye with such force that it corruped it, with Erebus' own energy, and turned it purple. Endshade got up out of the void, but things had changed. Time to change with them, he supposed.

Banditry
After his void excursions, Endshade realized what he had to do. He researched how to make a living off off what he knew, and he came to banditing. Due to his killings in the void, he was an experienced assassin and a successful duelist. Endshade decided to enter into warrior tournaments, like the Rat Ring, held in Goldenvale, and won. The bandits were instantly entranced with his skill, and they let him in immediately. Endshade, as bandit, killed many people. His armor, shadow's armor, is corrupted with the spirit of the void and the souls he kills. His sword, Midnight Blade, is to turn out the light of the rich and unworthy of life. He knows he must pay penance for his actions, for his judgment call, but he kills for his hatred and his corrupted soul. In this poem about Endshade, made by Panorh in the ancient days, we see Endshade's bloodlust and his hatred for his "sword and creed".

"Beyond reproach was he in life,

His shadow stood tall against the trees,

Surrounded by men and beast alike,

Betrayed he fell, by sword and creed.

And who would have this banished soul,

That could not forgive injustice done,

His hatred slow but steady grows,

As he awaits his judgment call."

Endshade as a bandit has made many successful ventures, making him a rich man. He intends to redistribute this wealth when his judgement comes, and give it to the poor. Endshade has a list of his victims, marked in his book, "The Fallen," some of which are listed here

 

Alokhrad
After his excursions in the South Sands, Endshade joined Astrova, the town that was in the land of the South Sands. Gamerblox2077 then approached the city, and informed it that it was squatting on Uldarashi land. zTempestX then decided that it would be best to merge with Uldarash, so they did. Alokhrad now has any cities, including Eraqat and the Clocktower. In Endshade’s time in Alokhrad, the first coup took place. Endshade was one of the warriors in Uldarash’s ranks, and he took up arms and slayed the leader of the revolution, “Ree”.
