I will write two for each subject, just for arguments sake; I know these two will go to waste, as I have not yet looked into the background of the game ( Not that there is any at the present moment ), so It may ( Will ) be out of lore for the present moment.
But, the effects of lore, May greatly add depth to NPC's and such.
Sample One:
Names of pacts and battles WILL be edited, for now, I just dont fancy thinking up some fancy name, due to editing perposes and what not.. give me your two cents on what you feel it should be called.Capital, the former city of the Arikatote, presently known as the ''Sand Ninja's'', the birthplace of the Mercenaries guild, has been witness to may gruesome battles, most famous of all of them is the ''The Two Clans..''
The Battle of the Two Clans
Before the times of the Empire, the Sand Ninjas ruled over this wasteland known as The kenshi, outlawing all guilds and clans to which wheren't there own. Underground guilds where created whilst many failed due to the all seeing eyes of the White Eyebrown, the secret police of the Arikatote, One stood out, creating problems for the great ninja clan; The Koga, Known by many as ''The Mercenaries Guild''.
In due time, the Koga grew in numbers, whilst the popularity of the Arikatote fell, the people cried out for change,
One nobleman known as Chiriku Takijirichi, a member of the Koga, smuggled in arm's for his fellow Clan members using his vast wealth to bribe the guards to do so, thus allowing a massacre within the city, to which the shogun of the Arikatote was slain. The guild found their new leader, and a stronghold.
The United Cities Pact
It wheren't sure how long it would take for the mighty Arikatote was going to strike back at the Settlement, as they have recently lost many settlements to other forces, but the Koga was weakened due too the heavy losses of the battle of the two clans, could not possible hold there own against the armies of the Sand Ninja's, had no choice, but too seek outside help, thus the treaty of the united cities was formed.
Many settlements at this point has broke free from the reign of the Arikatote, but all weakened by the battles that gained there freedom, until one man '' Dotokichiku'' requested the presence of all the leaders of the free cities, and convinced them all, too unite under one banner, a treaty too which formed ''The United Cities''. The terms of this would state that if ever a city under the rule of the treaty, the others shall send aid.
Fortuantly, many years after the gruesome battles, the Sand Ninja's dissappeared from public view, only appearing to attack trade caravans, and patrols.
For now, Capital was safe.
I do apologise about sample 2, I shall write it soon, Download festival is on Skuzz, and I am intrested
( woo Skindred? ) so it's been keeping me distracted safely, so if there are any errors in my Rough Rough ROUGH draft of sample one, appear, then yer'know, slap me on the wrist.. ( bound to be errors at 1 am, a 10 minute type, and distracted by ye'almighty skindred )But yer'see, In sample one, I have attempted to create as much lore as possible for quite a bulk of assossiated story's, hopefully giving each faction a leader.
those whom know japanese will know, that each name that was given there, has a special meaning:
Arikatote - Sand ( sand ninja, geddit? )
Chiriku Takijirichi - The light
Dotokichiku - Unite
Koga - Who the fuck knows, Just a random name came to mind ._. as the mercenaries guild, is utterly unpronounceable, and like, 40 charactors long.
So aye, give me some feedback, and hopefully, yer'll be seeing me around,
Spread the buzz of Kenshi.
