The Shadow Mage, Lord of Shadows

During the years that the Shadow Mage had reigned on this forum, he had grown powerful enough to recruit many minions of darkness to his side. Not all of them were there in the day that he fell and the tower crumbled. Larry, in his arrogent pride, had not thought it expedient to enlist the help of everyone he had in his hire that day that the Windbringer came with his two filthy whores and ruined his climatic overtaking of all of Ironworks.

Once upon a time, a man served a shadow that he did not know in physical representation, but knew simply by it's dark heart and ill intents. It filled him with hatred for others and desires to do as he wished with no regard to others' lives. He thought the ideas were his, but never figured out that he was but a pawn for the darker evils.

This man wanted to rule, and in his evil plot, his family suffered. First, his brother was killed by minions sent to remove his presence. The deceased's wife had two children, a son and a daughter. The son was not present that day when the father was slain, but later was presented his dead father's body. He went in search of his mother and baby sister, but they had fled danger and were well hidden from even his attempts to find them. He vowed to find them, still.

However, the Uncle found those two before the son did, and killed the mother in attempts to torture information from her. He wanted to know if an heir existed that would jeopordize his ownership of power. She died as her tongue remained silent. The little girl was but five years old.

Now the Darkness that had filled the Uncle had its own plans, for it realized a more powerful ally in the young girl. Somebody that could be molded into what it wanted her to be, and so in the act of betrayal, allowed the uncle to be killed by his own men. The little girl was witness to this as well, and knew only what the Darkness told her,,,that he had avenged the blood of her mother in her behalf and that she now owed allegiance to Him.

Years passed. The one named Larry Silverfall had lost his love in a tragedy, and the Darkness heard the man's heart breaking. In a scheme that would change the world of Ironworks forever, the Darkness had an idea to become corpeal. He invaded the heart of Larry Silverfall, teaching him how to suppress his anger and loss and suffering with the cool savor of the Shadows. As Larry Silverfall was filled with Shadow Magic, he began to lose more of himself, until the Darkness was all that was left, except for a fragment of humanity still clinging on for hope of a brighter day.

In his new form, the Shadow Mage, the Modding Mage of Ironworks caused much mischief. None could stop him until Cyril Darkcloud decided to visit the Realms of our forum. He recruited the right people and worked in the right manners, and ridded the forum of the Mage. At the time, the little girl that had grown up into a beautiful young lady with the heart of ice and the eyes to prove it had been on another assignment far away. She felt her Master die and realized that she had lost the only person that had ever cared for her since her mother's death. Yet, suddenly hope filled her cold heart, for the Mage's closest and most powerful allies could feel that he would someday return.

That day came sooner than expected. Not only that, but a strange twist of fate actually separated the humanity of Larry Silverfall away from the Darkness upon his ressurrection, but by then it had grown so powerful that it had a new form of it's own now.

Today, sitting in his throne room, the Lord of Shadows called forth all of his former allies, letting them know that the path had been made to return, and safety was again at the tower for those that served him.

Many dark allies of his had already joined with the Reaper, and betrayed their former master for fear that he was weak and would again fall to the light. Or the Storms. The Shadow whispered to them that they would die for their betrayal.

Those did not matter to The Dark One. He did not need them. He was satisfied with those that were left, who were the truest allies. Among those, the sister of Liam who he had not seen since her birth to his mother.

OOC>>>In summary, this outlines the following:

1. Subplot for Liam, involving his sister
2. History of the Shadow Mage and of Larry
3. Some of the Reaper's monsters
