Warriors of Nature
From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
Title: Warriors or Nature
Author: ArchSC. Mentius Gratio
There are rumors, that close to the shrine of Honor there is living an ancient tribe. They call themself Warriors of Nature, but nobody outside their tribe really knows what that means.
However, it seems pretty clear to our educated circles, that they are living real close to the nature of the jungle.
Some people telling stories about men in black robes wearing red bandanas covered with dark green cloak, which disappeared in person just in front of their eyes.
Others even assume that the Warriors of Nature are only an old mythos and don't even really exist. Others state them to be some ectoplasm phenomenas, nameing them ghosts.
My studies in the hidden libraries of the Lycaeum on the Isle of Moonglow led me to some very old roots, which even proof that the members of this tribe are all connected to the spirits of some very old tribe once living on the ice coasts of Kos Heb, a real dangerous area in the lost lands high in the north, only reachable by ship!
These documents telling an old story about a young ranger, who met the chief of this old tribe [Zaltarasa Altruso] under very strange circumstances. Some people say that this young ranger has died a long time ago, but his soul shows up as an eagle some times. Although I really doubt that, it is spoken that he can manifest himself in the shape of a human being named Fors Aquillae.
While doing my arcanic research, I found more about that tribe and their rites, but I do not even dare to write it down here, nor do I feel secure anymore since I started my work about that "Warriors of Nature". Even if they do not really exist, it feels like they are invisible around me, watching what I'm doing, maybe even taking care that I would not be hurt... however it is a strange feeling that surrounds that strange tribe, our world knows so little about!
Reconstructing the events which may have happened a long time ago, I found some hints about an old ruin, which once was a big portal between two different worlds, but which had to be surrendered and to be sealed forever, cause of the mass of evil which corrupted the lands behind.
Some papers state, that one of this old lands once was a beautiful paradise where Fors Aquillae was born and raised in a pretty childhood. He himself is supposed to have closed that portal forever, after he rescued his people from the evil power in the old, old lands to their new homeland Sosaria. However the power of evil is still evident behind and this place seems to be haunted, cause every minute undeads spawn inbetween the old walls, maybe somehow passing that "sealed" portal. So it seems reasonable that Fors Aquillae, if he really exists, could be found close to that place cause his soul guards that old portal to stay sealed forever.
Maybe it is coincidence but comparing my own studies with the rumors I heard on my journeys through Sosaria, it seems that these two places, the old portal ruin and the habitat of this strange tribe are located in the same area, somewhere north of the shrine of Honor, deep in the jungle sout of Trinsic.
I once heard the phrase "born in eagles nest", when I asked an old wise man about the warriors of nature. And some people even claim to had been members of that old tribe, which made them very proud cause they stated to me that this would have been a great privilege.
However they seemed to me like arrogant fools, who don't really know what they were talking about! [One name I remembered, cause it sounds very silly to me: Mors Pilis, I guess he's still living in Cove]
