Eternal Nites MOD

[Eternal_Nites]

Well, in a way I feel guilty, requesting help for a MOD in the

forum that once hosted ME-Mod, and now PP:p. Though I am

going to need some team members. I would go to another

forum, though, through my years of drifting around on this

forum I have found quite a lot of talented modders. I have

quite a basic concept of what the mod will be, what it will look

like, what it'll be about, let's just say everything thatwould need

to be thought of to start a MOD. I just do not have the team

members. I will work on a site once I get a few members,

though I will open up a forum here soon. All the information

on the MOD will be able to be found at the forum.

 

The basic theme of the MOD will be very grimm, and very

dramatic. It'll happen in a time of depression. The very heart

of the world known as 'Saeril' has been scorched. It's capitol,

'Silverleaf', has been raided by The Minion of Eternal Nites.

Slaying the peasents, and torching it's once historic Temples.

Every one hundred years The Minion of Eternal Nites arises

through a random portal to enter Saeril. To bring forth rage

and chaos to the well ballanced land. The leader of the Minion,

Sakoroth, The Eternal , was the brother of Lheki, the most

respected entity of Saeril. He was the one to rid Saeril of his

demented brother's legion, The Minion of Eternal Nites. After

an epic war between the two brothers. Sakoroth, ended up

being damned to the Eternal Void. Where later on his minion

would follow. Though, Lheki, would soon leave Saeril, due to a

promise he made to the gods. The promise was that if the gods

granted him the power to rid Saeril of his brother, and his

minion. He would sacrafice his life to the gods. Though, that

brought trouble. For it allowed a secret society who worshiped

Sakoroth, and his minion. To bring upon a special magic, a

magic that would soon bring darkness above Saeril once again.

Every one hundred years. The society would meet, and when

they meet. They would combine their souls to use this special

magic. They would sacrafice their souls through this magic to

open up a gate from the Eternal Void, to Saeril. Which gave

a path for Sakoroth and his minion to enter the land.

 

Well, I'll try to leave it there. That is a taste of the story. So

as you can see it will definatly be rich with story. I will mainly

be doing interior/world design, NPC editing, Dialogue editing,

and probably composing music. The list of positions I will need

will be the usuals, but I would also like a few voice actors. If

this seems interesting, but you're a bit skeptical. Well, do not

worry. You can always wait til I open the forums to see for

yourself. I will not be accepting applications right now. I'd rather

wait til the forums is opened for that. I just wanted to let

people in on my ideas, and see if I could possibly get a few

team members. I should have the forums done soon enough,

and when I do, I'll be sure to drop the link.

That sounds like it would be interesting, if it's done right. Don't worry about draining effort from PP, though. By no means would they accept everyone who wants to help, and they'll be the ones getting first choice. I'll help with this project, if you want.

 

Edit: The Minion of Eternal Nights is a group, rather than an individual, right? Also, how do they survive from one cycle to the next? Do some not join in the ritual? What is the reaction of the inhabitants, if they haven't seen darkness for 100 years? Or is 'darkness' metaphorical? (Can you tell that I like details?)

[Eternal_Nites]

Yes, maybe I should've elaborated more:p Well,

yes, the Minion of Eternal Nights is a group, more

like a very large army. Though they do not have

to live off of darkness. The Eternal Nights in their

name is there, because when they enter the realm

of Saeril. They bring an eternal darkness until they

have been defeated. Their spirits are brought back

to the Eternal Void. Where they lie dormat for their

100 years. Then when the secret society (and I will

not release the name of the society, for plot reasons.)

uses the magic to summon forth the gate between

Saeril, and the Eternal void. They come forth to

Saeril and always attack different historical places

of Saeril. Though the citizens of Saeril never thought

they would attack Silverleaf, due to it's isolation and

heavy defense. Now, that should explain a bit more

about the Minion.

 

The Minion of Eternal Night's time of existance is

believed to be around 2,500-3,000 years. Though

they have only been defeated 3 times. Now the

times when they were not defeated. Saeril was

empty, with very little survivors, but the survivors

always to rebuild from nothing. Though when they

are not defeated a god must sacrafice his life to

Sakoroth. The reason to that is Lekhi's promise to

the gods. Now, if he defeated his brother with the

power of the god's, Lekhi would sacrafice his life.

But, the gods did not tell Lekhi that their interferance

would cause a disturbance between the gods. So

therefore the gods all agreed to this term. If

Sakoroth stood undefeated. One of the gods would

sacrafice his soul to Sakoroth. Which would give

him power to survive another 100 years in the

Eternal Void.

 

Now, I hope that does it, if not. I should either have

the forums up by either tonight, or tomorror afternoon.
