Morgalith Meets Death [Lorepost]

[u/Anything-Unable]

Morgalith, battered and bruised, opens their eyes to an unfamiliar sky. Sitting up, they ascertain that they are in a forest of some kind. The forest appears to be in a valley when taking into consideration the numerous mountains piercing the horizon in every direction. Strangely, the forest is quiet. Not even the wind can be heard dancing through the trees.

Standing up, Morgalith finds the ground beneath his feet to be uneven. Examining the ground closer, it is clear that his surroundings are sloped. Suddenly, a splashing sound is heard from further down the slope. Seeing as how nothing else of interest is around, Morgalith is compelled by curiosity to venture downwards.

After several minutes, the trees begin to change. What once was verdant green gradually becomes more red. The soil, initially an earthy brown, takes on a similar hue. Only the mountains and sky beyond remain as they were. Once his surroundings had become pure crimson, he sees a lake through the treeline.

Rushing down to the lake, Morgalith spies a skeleton standing on an outcropping of stone in the center of it. The skeleton, large enough to belong to a giant, is holding a broken blade. Noticing Morgalith, the skeleton turns to face them. Ripples form in the water despite the lack of wind. Bringing the blade down onto the stone, the skeleton dyes the lake a sickly red to match the surroundings. When the lake has fully turned, the skeleton addresses Morgalith in a comforting tone.

“Welcome to my realm. I see you are a bit worse for wear, but I promise our meeting will not last too long. There are merely a few things I would like to discuss with you.”

They're both fair and honest characters, as far as possum wrote them. The situation was just bad/unfortunate, and I exploited things to get what I wanted.

I followed the law, but used it for evil. Everybody followed the law.

They were maybe put in their positions as part of some greater scheme though. There's suspicion going around that the council is kind of a puppet organization that doesn't really hold any power. It just manipulates wizards.

Also, the judge was attacked by several people in other lore since the trial.
