8,000 years ago, in the land of Geilnor, now known as Runescape, a force unknown and greater than any other that had ever walked Runescpe since it's creation by the god Guthix. The new arriva's name was Zaros, god of evil. He first came to Runescape in the place called Freneskae. There he discovered a powerful tribe there named the Mahjarat. He used the people of this tribe as his minions. He taught them the awsome powers of magicks using the four elements of shadow, smoke, blood, and ice, and then traveled with them to the mainland of Geilnor, in the north-eastern most part of the continent. There he chose a Mahjarat tribe leader named Zamorak to be his lieutenant. Several other tribes in the area were subdued by Zaros' power. Of these, he chose a man named Azzanadra to be his general.
While in that part of the continent, he forged a magickal empire. Cities suchs as Kharyll and Lassar, among others, were formed. He also founded a great city named Senntisten, which he chose as his capital. So all was good for a time... but then, suddenly, Zaros craved the land in the south and south-west. He wanted the entire continent for himself. And so he tried to obtain it... and almost did.
Chapter 1: The Blade of the Army
Salenyd gripped his blade ever so close. He was wearing fine iron armour that had a very unique design, and covered up all vital aeas, including the all of the face besides the two eye holes. Salenyd was granted such armour because he was part of the Zeran wing. "Zeran" was elven for the word "Blade," and since the army's strategy was to shape there forces in a shape of a sword, the Zeran wing was what they called where the blade would be. They would do most of the fighting, hile the "Retalor," or "hilt" of the giant sword would defend the pass they were guarding.
Salenyd held his blade tightly. He was in the army of King Luntus from the largest tibe easy of the River Lum, the Lumarians. They settled along the portion of Geilnor between the deserts and the river, on land fertile for both farming and raising cattle. The Lumarian army had been marching for three days and nights to get to the spot they were at, where the huge, magick legions of Zaros would arrive.
The survivors of previous battles and encounters with Zaros' forces told King Luntus and his advisers that their tales of magicks that coul freeze a dozen people at a time, blind them, poison them, or even suck their very blood out from them were all lies. The king then ordered that an assault be carried out against them, so that they wouldn't be any problem later. As the soldiers of the Zeran wing waited in fear for the army to arrive, they head a cry like no other they had ever heard. In the distance, they saw short, green men in red and blue war paint rushing towards them. Were the goblins attacking instead?
The answer was known to every man in the front lines when they saw the terrified expression on the faces of the goblins. They did not fire arrows, or even try and kill any of the army. They simply went around the Zeran wing and then farther south, away from where the Zarosians were coming from.
The goblin's fears soon spead to the troops, who were wondering what could have frightened the goblins so much. They were all clearly scared out of their minds.
And then Salenyd saw why.
