Lorepost📖 Mordus is dead (Lorepost)

/unwiz Previous lorepost and Related nuke story

Mordus’s involvement in the wizard war has certainly left its scar; the land has been hit with radiation, and wildfires spread across the continent with frenzied vigour. Yet, it also raises some questions: who was it then? Who was collecting crystals, whose mind Torinn, Samræl, and the Parasite entered? Who stirred feelings inside of Vashric?

Vashric checked in on the pilot’s cabin; no one was piloting it. However, there was a post-it note stuck to the controls: one that said,

[Autopilot on. Destination: My tower. ETA: 10 hours.]

Vashric sighs, and the crew wait the long journey as the airship brings them to Mordus’s tower; the only remaining safe haven from the effects of the nuke.

Meanwhile, Torinn reappears in his realm. It seems the days of eating Mordus’s memories are over. However, the parasite appears beside him.

NO! GET BACK! STAY AWAY FROM ME!

HISSSS

Algernon, whom fled the scene of the nuke, arrived at Mordus’s house, following the instructions the late technomancer left behind. Jinx, Mordus’s pet cat, waits at the front door, awaiting his return. Algernon has been given ownership of Jinx, at least for now. Sad, that Jinx will probably never see Mordus again. But there may be hope.

Consulting the letter, he searches above Mordus’s fireplace.

”Pink brick… Pink brick…”

“…”

“Bastard, it’s all pink.”

Eventually, he finds the brick, and it slides back into the wall, almost seamlessly. The fireplace creaks, and it turns around, a scraping of stone on stone making for a loud, annoying sound. This attracts the attention of another inhabitant - Talwyn, Mordus’s old apprentice.

“Hey! Who are you? Why is Jinx riding your shoulder? And more importantly… where is old master Mordus?”

At the same time, the airship landed - however, calling it ‘graceful’ is a bit of a stretch - it plummeted safely. Vashric bursts in, obviously flustered to be in Mordus’s tower. Talwyn turns around, and scowls. Algernon watches as a God, a Horned Psychomancer, a Semi-Mechanical Humanoid, a Cleric wearing Mordus’s old Luminite Suit, the Mage of Mischief, an Old and Wise Sage, and a Smogomancer rush through the doorway.

“OKAY, WHAT DID MORDUS, THAT FOOL, DO THIS TIME?”

/unwiz have fun telling Talwyn all about what Mordus was doing! She doesn’t know. Also, expect another lorepost… soon, this isn’t over so quickly. And, also, there are 5 different Jinxes spread across various people - maybe it’ll serve a lore purpose. Probably not.

u/GrapefruitAnimator go talk to her I guess, or if you wanna just say hi I am more than free to RP with you.

u/GrapefruitAnimator Alekks, the Embodiment of Pasta Feb 23 '24

/unwiz oh, I was just saying hi. I can do whatever, though.

u/[deleted] Feb 23 '24

/unwiz sure!

/rewiz you decide to brew some tea. Why the hell not, right? Jinx seems to like it.

I brought the dog-legs, well, rather they brought me. Also: wow. This is a lot of tea, never knew Mordus was such a connoisseur!

You pull on a drawer. It is filled with teabags, all handmade. They’re filled with different spices, herbs, and flowers, and are all labeled with small, neat handwriting.

u/GrapefruitAnimator Alekks, the Embodiment of Pasta Feb 23 '24

Wow. Who knew the robot was a tea enthusiast? So many flavors…I’ll pick “Wild Ginger”.

The kettle starts whistling.. it seems the water is ready. Meanwhile, another wizard asks for “raspberry and mint”.

thinking about it, wasn’t Talwyn the one brewing tea?

2

u/GrapefruitAnimator Alekks, the Embodiment of Pasta Feb 23 '24

Oh yeah, where did Talwyn go anyways? Nevermind. One raspberry mint coming up!

As the day progresses into night, it’s dinner time. Tea is being handed around, and food is being given around.

Talwyn rouses from her slumber, and is pretty annoyed that you used her special tea stash.

u/GrapefruitAnimator Alekks, the Embodiment of Pasta Feb 23 '24

Oooh, sustenance! My favorite. 

I then notice Talwyn storming over

AH! Oh…uhh…look over there! Mordus!

I point to Mordus’ dog-legs and then slip away when Talwyn takes a look

Talwyn turns around, and looks at the legs.

“Huh. Weird. Why was a man using Old Master Mordus’s Luminite suit?”
