Warth of Forgotten

Prologue and Episode 1

Long ago, the gods created the world, granting dominion over it to one among them: Zaroth, the God of Omniscience, Strength, Corruption, Doomsdays, and Dominion. Under Zaroth's reign, the world flourished, but power breeds ambition. His omniscience saw every sin, every thought, every rebellion before it even began, and in his strength, he ruled with an iron fist. The gods, fearing the corruption spreading through the world under Zaroth's rule, rose against him.

In a battle that tore the heavens apart, Zaroth was betrayed, stripped of his favor, and sealed in a forgotten dungeon. His name was erased, his story lost to time. But the seal was never perfect. It waited for mortals to stumble upon it, to tempt fate and awaken the god who had once ruled all.

Scene 1: The Forgotten Dungeon

Setting: A massive underground chamber, buried deep beneath the surface. The walls are inscribed with ancient, unreadable runes, and the air crackles faintly with latent power. In the center stands an imposing altar holding a gleaming obsidian orb, surrounded by faintly glowing chains.

The six adventurers step cautiously into the chamber, their eyes widening at the sight before them.

Names and Roles of the Adventurers:

1. Kael - Human Rogue, the smooth-talking opportunist with a penchant for treasure.

2. Elara - Elf Swordsman, sharp-eyed and disciplined, the leader of the group.

3. Grothak - Orc Mage, a brooding spellcaster with a taste for forbidden knowledge.

4. Mira - Goblin Alchemist, eccentric and brilliant, carrying volatile potions.

5. Dain - Dwarven Paladin, a stoic warrior with an unwavering sense of duty.

6. Selene - Tiefling Cleric, a devout follower of the gods, haunted by her own doubts.

Selene (examining the inscriptions on the walls, her voice trembling):
"These symbols... they speak of something far older than the gods we worship today. This is forbidden knowledge."

Kellan (grinning, tapping a dagger against his palm):
"Forbidden means valuable. Let's take a closer look."

Elara (holding up a hand, scanning the room):
"Stay sharp. We don't know what traps are waiting."

Mira (sniffing the air, pulling out a vial of glowing green liquid):
"Smells like old magic. You touch something wrong, and poof! We're all fried."

Dain (clutching his hammer, his voice grim):
"This place isn't right. The gods sealed it for a reason. We should leave."

Grothak (ignoring the others, stepping toward the altar):
"Leave? We've come too far to turn back. This seal holds secrets beyond anything you could imagine. Power. Knowledge."

The group gathers around the altar. The obsidian orb glows faintly, as if responding to their presence. The chains surrounding it hum with divine energy.

Selene (whispering, stepping back in fear):
"That's no treasure. That's a prison. This... this is Zaroth's tomb."

Kellan (mocking, reaching out toward the orb):
"Prison or not, it looks like a shiny piece of treasure to me."

Elara (grabbing his wrist, her tone sharp):
"Don't. We don't know what it'll do. Nobody touches it."

But before Elara can stop him, Grothak steps forward, his staff grazing the orb. A sharp crack splits the air as the glowing chains shatter, one by one. The room grows dark, the walls trembling as an ancient voice fills the chamber.

Zaroth (his voice deep and resonant, echoing through the dungeon):
"Mortals... so curious, so foolish. Do you know whose slumber you have disturbed?"

The air grows heavy, the glow from the altar intensifying. A towering figure begins to take form: Zaroth, a being of terrible power with molten eyes and a presence that seems to crush the will of all who behold him.

Zaroth (smirking, stepping down from the altar):
"I ruled this world once. And now, thanks to you, I shall do so again."

The chamber begins to collapse as Zaroth's power surges. The adventurers scramble, their voices shouting over the chaos.

Elara (drawing her sword):
"We need to stop him! Whatever it takes!"

Selene (desperately casting a protection spell):
"We can't! He's not just a god-he's the god who brought the Creator's wrath. We need to run!"

The scene ends with Zaroth releasing a wave of energy, scattering the adventurers as the screen cuts to black.
