<span class='elvish'>WimormalCelestesi</span> The Wimor-mal-Celestesi (or 'The God Slaying' in the common tongue) is a work that contains the story of the God Slaying, what led up to it, and its repercussions. # The Story of Nyx It is known that the Steward of Destiny likes their isolation. Though in good rapport with most Celestials, Alher makes no Elohim to accompany him in his tasks, nor does he keep much company. However, there are two whose company he does allow. Most obvious of all, the Allfather himself. Ellathin and Alher have always been close. The second one, however, is a less obvious pick. From deep within the marble halls of the court of Dealings, far away in the Fey Forests, sits the Lord of Dealings Nyx. Nyx is of a smaller statue than most lords and ladies. His bright red skin is carried by two butterfly wings, decorated with a multitude of iridescent colors. His face is framed by two small curved horns and between his legs his bovian tail curls. This Fey creature is one of the only friends of the Steward of Destiny, and was known to frequently meet him for discussions and conversation. Though Alher was a weak conversationalist, as they could not say anything that would influence the passing of fate, Nyx found a solace in the wise truths that Alher spoke and their rapport was soothing to the Fey. This, however, was not the case this time around. Flying up towards the gardens of destiny, Nyx found his friend sitting at the intricately decorated fountain in the middle of the garden. Before speaking to him, Nyx noticed the solemn feeling emanating from his friend. His silence feeling less out of wisdom, but more an inner lament. ### The Law of Order In the meantime, the forces of the Myst Wode have caught wind of foul play by the Celestials and listen in on the Elohim of Bonifeth that are discussing the Law of Order. They report back to the Maelstrom, who calls a meeting with all the High Primordials in the Elemental Storms. Enraged by this betrayal, especially Ignan, they decide that they would march upon the Golden City to demand an explanation and a settlement for the Law of Chaos in restitution. Though some find the Law of Chaos to be too far and would settle for the Law of Nature, they agree something must be done. ### March of the Elementals The horde of Elementals go to the Fey Forests to ask for their support in their cause and explain the Law of Order to them. Some of the fey are angered, while others remain indifferent. Oberon declares that the Fey Forests will not officially mobilize, but those that wish to join the march are free to do so. Seeing the immense force of creatures gathered to demand reparations, Nyx is afraid that this is exactly what Alher was afraid off. Nyx rushes to Alher to ask if this is what was on his mind, so they can warn the Allfather beforehand and prepare for negotiations so that bloodshed may be avoided. Trixshade, first prince of the Fey Forests, sees the war as an opportunity to kill off his parents and finally ascend to the throne. He notices Nyx acting weird and sneaking off, so he follows them to the Golden City. ### A Brutal Ruse Trixshade eavesdrops on Nyx's plea to Alher, who solemnly tells him that nothing can be done anymore. Seeing the gravitas of the situation and the fact that the Allfather is not yet informed about this, Trixshade sees his opportunity. He tells Valor and Gilgalan in disguise as a Seraphim that a horde of Elementals have come to attack and kill the Allfather and take over the Golden City. In response they collect a force of Elohim and Seraphim to protect the borders of the City and face the horde before they can touch their homes. Trixshade sneaks back into shadow, while Nyx goes to warn Ellathin. As Nyx returns to the Fey Forests, hoping to have resolved the problem, Ellathin calls for a meeting. However, Guthran reveals that the problem is already being dealt with. ### Betrayer of Kin When Nyx returns, Oberon summons him to the courts. There they learned that the Celestials somehow knew of their coming and had attacked them on sight. Trixshade also plays into this saying he saw Nyx sneak away towards the Golden City. Nyx confirms he warned Ellathin, but swears he implored for a non-violent approach and helped prepare for negotiations. Oberon is furious for the fey lives lost due to this betrayal and sends Nyx away, warning him about the vengeance that the Elementals will seek. Back in his court, Nyx is attacked by a fire elemental assassin. Knowing he cannot be safe, he goes into hiding, leaving his court to run on its own. # The Story of Oberon With the attack on the horde of elementals and fey, the elementals declare formal war on the Celestials and prepare a counter attack. With bated breath the Fey look upon the Seelie court if they are to join in the war effort as well, as Oberon councils with his closest advisors. Eventually, Oberon reiterates what he said when the horde asked for support in the Fey, saying that the official stance of the Fey Forests will be neutral and they will not support the war of the Primordials. However, he will not bar the courts from joining in the war themselves. This would mean that the Seelie court could not come to aid if their courts are to be attacked by the gods, as that would break their official neutrality. Some of the courts were angered at the soft approach of the official courts, calling the decree a cowards decision. Among the disgruntled was Trixshade, who desperately wanted his father to join the battle. Fearing prosecution of the Primordials due to their Lord being branded a traitor, the Court of Dealings gave their support to the Celestials in dismay of the other courts. Furthermore the court of the grave joined in with the celestials as emissaries of the Gray Lady, trying to quell the unrest happening in the Fey Wild. Though the court of Bark and Grove and Whims and Wishes stayed neutral, the other courts all joined in with the fight, aiding the Primordials either on idealistic terms or because of the rage felt against the fallen Fey creatures in the initial attack. As the war raged on mainly in the borderlands between the Golden City and the Elemental Storm more and more Fey saw the battle as something far away from home. However, that was soon to change as the city of Autumn was attacked by Seraphim. The destruction of Autumn fuelled the anger of the Fey folk and they demanded the neutrality to stop, as the Seelie court did not send the royal knights to fight off the Seraphim. After another deliberation, Oberon still pressed for neutrality. Knowing the Seelie Court was not to help, the Court of Season retaliated themselves by directly attacking the Domain of Bounty. In solidarity with the Court of Seasons, the Court of Excess and Ecstasy sold out the location of the Court of Dealings to the fire elementals, who swiftly hunted down anyone of the court to torture for information for the location of Nyx. Oberon saw the failings of the Fey Courts, seeing them turn against each other. His tries to keep bloodshed of the lands of the Fey Forests had failed. However, the worst was yet to come. Trixshade took his opportunity to break his father completely and join in the war. That day, as Oberon came back to his palace, he heard the screams of his sons and daughters. Rushing to the throne room, he saw the Seraphim of Laebas impaling and decapitating his offspring in a brutal display of violence. Shocked and enraged Oberon jumped into action as he ripped through the Seraphim with ease using nothing but his bare hands to crush their skulls and rip apart their torsos. When the final Seraphim fell, Oberon's vision blurred. Suddenly, the image of his dead children faded and the bodies of the seraphim morphed back to their true form. Oberon had in his rage, killed his own family. All but the queen and his first born were dead. Thinking this horrendous illusion to be the work of Laebas himself, Oberon officially declared war upon the gods and their joining of the God Slaying. # The Story of the Metallic Dragons As the mortal planes were in shambles due to the war of the gods, most mortals started to pray to their deities and wished for some stability. The roads to the Golden City became more and more fortified and most of the routes from the Elemental Storm were in full combat. As the Primordials searched for different ways to enter the Golden City, they remembered the gates in the mortal realm. Via Archon they could enter the golden city from a new direction. Sending forth Maultruun and her spawn of children, the dragon queen and her army blasted through the gates to Archon. There they saw the great forest of Ellefeth, filled with elves pleading and praying to the celestials. Angered by what they saw, they started their assault on the elves. Burning anything that they saw that could move. Via the great golden gate near the First Tree, Maultruun broke through into the Golden City and laid waste to battalions of Seraphim. Quickly, the gods turned their attention to the breach into their plane and fought with the dragons. As Guthran and Bonifeth themselves fought off Maultruun pushing her back into the mortal plane. After sealing the gate off, Guthran and Bonifeth sat together. Discussing the brutal and cruel nature of the dragons and their terrible efficiency, they debated if a lawful creature could be made in their image. A dragon as force for 'good' to fight back against Maultruun and protect the mortals of Archon. Together they made the metallic dragons. Trying out their new spawn, the metallic dragons burst through the gate into Archon and fought back the forces of Maultruun, saving the lives of any elf still alive. After the retaking of the ruins of Ellefeth, Guthran and Bonifeth made it their focus to weaken the forces of Maultruun. Knowing they rely on their humanoid spawn to work for them and as additional foot soldiers, they first focussed on getting the Drakelings out from under the dragons control. Now within the plane of Archon, Maultruun set up great war camps near the elemental breaches into the Elemental Storm and made preparations for multiple attacks. The first of the camps to be attacked was volcanic islands of Aellib where the first few metallic dragons laid waste to the camps, but before they could destroy them completely they were forced out by the forces of Aquill. However, they managed to take some cages of Drakelings with them. Their second assault was on the war camp of Gallat Moc on the now ashen plane of Galledrath, where the breach to the Slit Moors lies. After the attack on Aellib, Aquill warned the others to watch the breaches, so the forces of Maleal were ready for the fight. The battle was long and arduous, but some Drakelings managed to get away in the fighting. Maleal, who sent most his spawn to fight the metallic dragons, was left alone in the Moors. Seeing the failure of the battle, the elemental Xoloc killed Maleal and dethroned him as the Lord of Ooze. # The Story of the Rolling Flame # The Story of Etressi # The Story of Accer # The Story of Torkun # The Story of the Windsong # The Story of Trixshade # The Story of Gilgalan # The Story of the Golden Court
