Deep underground evil is spreading. In the form of Elves, yet not so. A race that is called the Dark Elves by many, old wives tales most say. Yet how can old wives tales send Dwarves scurrying from their homes. And to every legend a grain of truth can be found.

The Dark Elves have lived in the silent blackness for years, adapting to a world into which they were cast. They added to their knowledge of the arcane arts, the dark magic. And through this they have wrought a thriving underground society. They had armies, cities, and a ruling queen. They divided into seperate houses, and thus were their lords chosen.

For years they have lived in silence, content to be ignored by the world of light above them, until the greed of the Dwarves drew them to send scouting parties deep into the caves. In search of gold. Greed drove them, but few returned to their great halls unscathed. Those that did return spout incoherent babble, and amongst their words were always talk of strange Clerics of the Night, torturing their chosen victims to death, only to restore them back to life.

The Dwarves put up with this for awhile, until the grand Dwarf Lord sent his young cousin to scout with a party. He came back, days later, alone. He was scarred and he too went on about the mysterious Clerics. So thus the Grand Dwarf Lord's anger was aroused, he amassed his house to strike down his enemies once and for all.

The Queen of the Dark Elves heard tell of the Dwarves anger, and she appointed a new general to the front lines to command her troops. The glorious 10th Legion of the Night.You have been given 11 years to regain your honor, or you will be tortured to death, but not before the Clerics have practised their tourtuing techniques on you until they get bored. If the Dwarves don't kill you, your men will. Order is difficult to keep, and you are continually stopping fights, punishing your troops, and wishing something horrible would happen. Your watch as the guards alert you of a Dwarvish scout party heading towards the keep. You ready your men, hoping that you die in this battle......

heres our revised copy made by Ryorin and its like ten times better so tell us what you think and if you want to help thats cool to cause we need it.

You should give one some assassin knives - close-quarters slashing weapons that might be better than huge swords in caves. They don't have to be just knives, but sickle-like curved blades that angle back in towards the wrists. It seems you could get creative rather than have the (same old)^2. Cat claws anyone?

we already thought of that and we dismissed it because the dark elves are so proficient at battleing with tow weapons of the same length that they have the skill to pull of backhand maneuvers that would normaly only be able to be accieved by small weapons such as knives and daggers.

Can i just say i hate the lv. 2 fighter oriented swords, (the one i orginally made), why would it change to huge big straight swords from medium curved and then back again.

The lvl. 2 and 3 should have the same swords. Their stances look too similar, they should be changed.

We just got our iMac back, so things are speeding along now. The face and swords shouldn't take that long, nor the stance. Do you guys like them? What should we change, if anything?

We havn't even started on the attack and defend frames. Jetryl said they need death frames too. I think we're just about done with the basic stuff, it shouldn't take us too long to finish them.
