Истории Lustria

This is a story I wrote for a Man Vs Nature themed short story competition. In all of these short stories, there will at least be a mention of lizardmen or seraphon, if not a full appearance. _____________________ Eifrayne finds himself fleeing from an unseen but deadly foe, trying to make it out alive after the crew that was sent to Lustria for what Eifrayne thinks is scientific knowledge, or was it all really for the cities gold and gemstones that caught the explorers attention? Join Eifrayne as he fights to survive in the Lustrian jungle, avoiding man eating plants, firebreathing and spine shooting horse sized reptiles, but, most of all, whatever lives in that golden city.

For legal reasons I must begin that I do not own anything. Merely the plot, if I ever get around to it. During the war, the Three Factions occasionally worked together to take out specific targets. One of these was the land of Ulthuan, home of the High Elves. Before the war, a sect became known as the Dark Elves in a war for supremacy with their purer brethren. However, the Three Factions came. They killed most contenders for the Phoenix Throne, the highest rank of authority for the Elves of Ulthuan, and brought devastation in a bid to ensure one side or the other did not receive their aid. As a result, the two peoples came together as one, as their homeland burned and their very culture lay in ruins. They rallied under the command of Alith Anar, the Shadow King, and his two sons. Aethanor and (Y/N). The only Elven royalty to remain out of the invaders' grasp. The surviving Elves came together to form the Shadow Warriors and the Horadrim, the Shadow Warriors led by Alith Anar and Aethanor, whilst the Horadrim was led by (Y/N), who became known as the Eye of the Shadow Crown. However, one day, Alith Anar and Aethanor fell in one of the largest battles of the war. The remnants of Ulthuan's elves rallied under the banner of the now-reformed Horadrim. (Y/N), Lord of the Shadow Crown and Heir to the Phoenix Throne is now left to lead his people. And just like the Shadow Warriors of old, he and his people wanted one thing. Vengeance. Under his command, (Y/N) drew more and more to his banner. Humans, Elves, and eventually the Beastmen of the Undergrowth. Under his banner, his people are given purpose, and that is to repay the treatment they all received from the three factions during the war. What shall happen, when the survivors of countless atrocities finally come out of hiding? When they begin to take the war to the homes of their past aggressors. When they deliver retribution for the transgressions of the three factions?
