The Guardians of Balance - Discussion Thread

[Grey_Wolf]

For thousands of years prosperity and peacy had reigned in the Kingdom. The magical armour and weapons of the King had been made by especially gifted smiths and magicians, and its properties kept the land harmonious and the people content. But the Guardians, appointed to serve the King, soon marked a weakening in the magic and was deeply disturbed.

And suddenly, war come upon the Island, from the hosts of the Overlord across the sea, and the King and his knights rode out to defeat the Enemy.

But, alas, he was slain as was most of his men. But all hope was not dashed.

In order for the Suit and the Weapons not to fall into the hands of the Enemy, each one of the Guardians took a piece of it and travelled to the corners of the Land in order to keep them safe from harm and ill-use.

Centuries passed and the people suffered under the ironheel of the Overlord and the hords of the Enemy roamed the Land, torturing or slaying anyone coming in their way or having the courage, briefly, to stand up against them. But hope still lingered. That one day a Champion would appear to reclaim the Throne and free the people.

(What do you think, does it have promise?)
