The Kingdom Of Ascalon

Post by Kasimir »

Hello everyone. Since I am the major producer of everything Role Playing here on the server, I feel it's my duty to introduce another awesome source of role play. This, however, is not of my doing, but of The White Mantle's - I am merely giving him a tiny bit of backing in areas that he has no control over. I hope that all of the role players here enjoy this side-story. Peace.

Chapter 1 : The Rise of the Kingdom of Ascalon

The reason you’re reading this is not to learn of my childhood. No, no. You want to know how this person became so great of a king! It was fate that one such as me would become king. To think, that it all started when I was a lad of fifteen years. I had struggled through the toughest of labor that my mentor Pallando, also called The White Mantle by most, could put me through. I didn’t think he could come up with anything more back breaking than farming at the time. In fact, I thought I was ready to take on the toughest of a swordsman’s tactics. You see, the White Mantle had only taught me the basics of swordsmanship, and I thought he was only slowing me down! Eventually, the White Mantle had planned a different type of training than I was used to. Apparently, he and Caveman, my father, both thought that this training would be more beneficial to me than farming. So they agreed that the White Mantle was to take me to Minoc, a mining town that mines out various and extremely precious minerals, to help the workers with their work. So we then left the town of Vesper, in which I was born and raised, and trained for the the rest of my childhood. It took us only a few days to get there on foot. We didn’t have a place to stay at the time, so we had to rough it outside in the elements.

For some peculiar reason the people of this town were weary of us. We didn’t push as to why, but we did need their trust if we were to work. Luckily, it took us only a short while to gain the people’s trust and friendship, but we found it odd on how many knights were there guarding the village - we assumed that it was because of the minerals. We later found out why there were so many.

White mantle decided that I hadn’t been practicing my swordsmanship enough lately so he took me to train in midst of the night. I believe the crow flying above us quickly toward the west was a sign of bad things to come. We looked towards where the crow had come from, curious at what scared it off. We saw about ten mages coming toward the town and the many of knights we had been wondering about earlier charged at them - head-long. It didn’t take much to take the guards down. I knew that if I didn’t do something now to help this village, then I could never call myself a swordsman - so I moved swiftly toward the mages.

I assumed that the White Mantle thought the same as he ran at my side, charging at one of the more powerful-looking mages. Fire came out of one’s fingertips and I slashed it with my sword; unfortunately, I didn’t see the second one coming at me and I was thrown against a tree. They started to throw several other attacks at me whilst I was down, but decided to attack more of the knights. Once again I stood up, though not as well as before, and went after them. The White Mantle had taken down about half of them already and ,though his fatigue was apparent, he continued to fight on. I decided that unless I was completely dead, I would never stop fighting my enemy. This time I knew a bit better what to expect from the mages and was able to dodge several attacks.

Finally, I got a few hits in, taking a couple down, and eventually the last of the mages ran off. There was one that was left behind who had passed out on the ground. I noticed that he had something odd on his forehead that was glowing red. I went over there and took the thing off of his head, staring at it curiously. I looked over and saw the mage regaining consciousness and retook a fighting stance. I was in shock as I had been paying so much attention to the stone, I didn’t realize that the mage was once an old friend of mine!

“Where am I?” Beldon, the old mage-friend of mine, asked.
“You’re in Minoc, but a better question is why were attacking it?” I exclaimed.
After awhile of investigating, we determined that the odd stone had been controlling him and that he truly had no ill will towards the village.

A few days later a knight came up to us and said that Lord British had requested an audience with us. So we accepted and proceeded to go to the castle, escorted by the knight. When we met with the king, he told us how the kingdom has had trouble with something called the Migel Aeivs. He explained to us that it was the name of a dangerous mage cult and that they can never get anymore information out of their cultists than that because of a brainwashing spell that is cast on them. The cultists that told them the information came to the king on their own, amazingly overpowering the mind control effects. Due to our superiority to the cultists, Lord British offered me a the White Mantle and myself a deal.

“If you are willing to help destroy the Migel Aeivs, then I will give you the lands north of the Minoc mines to call your own. Should you successfully rid Britannia of this cult and its leader, you may consider yourself a King of those lands. Would you agree to this young Kato?”

Graciously, I agreed, and became the King of Ascalon. And so for the past Thirteen years, I have traveled along side The White Mantle, Beldon, and Caveman to destroy these menaces. Now, we are so close to the cult's destruction. The battles of the past 13 years have ultimately led to this defining moment. For King, for country, for Ascalon!

And that, my friends, is how fate lead me to this spot in time, and soon even this story will lead me to even more allies from across the world, for the end of this story is only the beginning of our future.

Chapter 2: The Fate Of The Evil Mage Cult
Twas a dark and stormy night, the sound of wolves howling in the mountains could be heard for miles... I was standing in the throne room of my castle, cleaning my blade from the evening hunt. The next thing i know i hear a pounding knock at the castle doors. I paused for a moment knowing it was to late for it to not to be an emergency I quickly ordered the guards to let whoever was outside in and to see if it were urgent. Alas the man infront of me were no other then Lord Lestat, I then asked him, whatever are you doing here this late of night Lestat? he replied "M'Lord your scouts have aquired a rune to the secret location of the evil mage cult you have been hunting for the past thirteen years.". Hearing this I was alarmed and ready, I replied to him with these words "Lestat order our men to meet a top the Guild Barracks tommorrow at the suns falling, we shall strike these cursed cult mages then."
The next day was exciting to me, my scouts had aquired the location of an enemy i had been ordered to slay by lord british himself. The minute i rised from bed, i began preparing for the upcomming event, i went to the blacksmithy, only to have our finest smith Black Foot to repair my armor and sword, I then walked across the road to visit Gilbo's librarian Dewey Dilgard, I then purchased from him some of the most powerful magic scrolls gold can buy. Looking up at the sun i knew it was close to time for us to make our strike.
I arrived at the Barracks Shortly, to my surprise the citizens and soldier looked more excited then I was, for this I was greatly pleased, for my burden became their own. We then had our Pre-War prep talk, I began with a speech that would raise the moral of my men greatly, to get them prepared for the oncoming siege.

We arrive to the cave hideout of the evil mage cult, to our surprise they seemed as if they knew we were comming.... a large mass of the mages met us at the front, and we were in combat immediatly. I road my horse forward slicing and thrusting every which way i could, during all the adrenaline I heard a familiar melody, I looked back to see Jonas our town mayor, getting the attention of two of the cultist, I took the opprotunity quickly and thrusted my blade into the heart of one evil cultist while Jonas himself summoned an energy bolt to finish off the other. I soon found myself being pummeled by many energy spells, that drained my life so much i retreated to the back of our forces, when i had felt i regained my composure I turned around to see Magikato and his Dragon we all know as DOG, killing many of the cultist. The small encounter lasted a very short time, and we entered the cave....

As we ventured into the cave, we did see no more signs of the cultists, Perhaps they were not expecting us after all? Or perhaps this is what they hoped we would think? as we continued we ran into vile creatures, bird like women and vicious floating eyeballs, that casted deadly spells. No doubt they were the pawns of these cultists, as we were ambushed by these cultists and their floating eyeballs, and alas the outcome was indeed unfortunate. The death of DOG saddened us all, but Lord British ordered us to do a job, and we must press on!

We came to an exit in the cave, "Alas another mountain pass we shall traverse it!" I led my men through cave outrance and onto the mountain pass, to our surprise they were readily awaiting our appearance, and quickly attacked us. Again it was a short lived battle but this time with more serious injuries. We tended to our wounded, and searched the cultists for any reagents that could be useful to our wizards.

We continued on, entering a doorway with two statues beside it, upon entering we were questionable as to the wereabouts of their leader, because we could hear one of them screaming "Tell The Master! Tell The Master!" we quickly slayed all of the foes so as none of them could warn him.

Things were looking up for us we were defeating these cultists, the treaty with Lord British was almost complete! I led our men down the stairs of the dark hall way, upon entering we ran into a single cultist who called himself the key master. we quickly convienced him of unlocking the door, with the numbers we had. Once we entered it was a fear above all fear, we were drastically outnumbered and loosing men quickly. We fought bravely and honorably and thus we were victorious.

Our victory was short lived, hearing an evil crackling laughter. it was none other then the leader of the cultists, with haste we sped across the bridge upon the lake. Immediatly this evil man who calls himself Domonatrix recognized me, as one of the men from minoc who slayed his minions. He then spoke "Twas you and Thy companion that foiled our attempts on Minoc?" My men quickly surrounded him leaving him no choice but to fight. I yelled " We shall have your head in the name of the KING!"

He then replied "You shall pay doubly for your stupidity, but first i shall take care of your friends!" we then began the fight, he was quite a foe, for our blows barely scratched this wicked fiend. He took the life of Slice first, then focused his attention on Rias!

King Of Ascalon_8-1_00.02.jpg
once he was a bit weak he casted a protection spell upon himself allowing no one to touch him for a short period, he then moved to a lower level some what of an arena of death, and dragged me in with him.... I must fight him alone, he swore he would kill me for my deeds against his cult..... We swung swords and moved swiftly, he was a tough foe, but his self was his own demise, for when he casted the powerful spell flamestrike, it was reflected back to him, and ultimately ended his life screaming "NOOOO!! NOO! NOOOOOO!!!!" his last words....

From your wesbite and on the forums you advertise K^A to be this: K^A - Kingdom Of Ascalon - PvM + Newbie + PK Guild- Over 50 Members
Active Daily

Website Information: http://ascalonguild.webs.com/index.htm


:lol: :lol: :lol: Just because you have a rank system in your guild doesn't make you a roleplayer. I've seen your guild's behavior and you certainly do gank/pk other newbs in dungeons while you "PvM". You don't have a difference between staying IC and OOC. You don't really interact with other RP guilds using RP story lines/events/plots. And from what I can tell you haven't done much to help expand the RP community here. But thank you, I needed a good laugh. :lol:

Maybe I'm lost but I thought Ascalon was the kingdom in guild wars being attacked by the Charr. The white mantle were also from that. They were from a different city Lion something.

Ascalon used to be severe nerdy role play...

Mantle came up and was no longer a wizard from the middle age, just a "badass" failing pvper. :?
