User:Kraal9286

=About the User= First of all, I'd like to say 'Hi' to those actually reading my user page :D I live in Central England and have been playing Guild Wars for little over a year now (I got my first birthday present just before Christmas :D) I'm only a casul player; only playing maybe 2 hrs on weeknights and 4ish at the weekend. I'm basically a PvE player but I have slowly been introducing myself to PvP, succeding ins ome areas and epic phialing in other (i mainly need to learn when to back off :D) On wiki, I normally just apply the game updates the the relevent pages and post the occasional question on the talk pages.

=Character(s)=

My main character is a male elementalist called Kraal Fardale. My characters name is heavily influenced by characters from James Clemen’s ‘The Banned and the Bannished’ novel series. The mountain man Kral is one of a long line of earth elementals, full of strength, loyalty, unable to tell ‘an untruth’ but, able to detect when others lie. Fardale, one half of a pair of Si’lura twins, but forever stuck in his wolf form because of his selfish brother. The Si’lura are renowned and feared for their ability to shapeshift and their telepathic speech.

Travels in Tyria
Tyrian born, Kraal Fardale began his travels in Ascalon where he traveled to all corners of his country in search of a mentor. Among those he visited were Ralena Stormbringer, a hermit named Shalev and a bloke called Howland. All these people taught him valuable lessons but all were to be overshadowed when he met Elementalist Aziure. Standing there in armour of burning brambles, he immediately saw she was a person of great knowledge and experience. Deep in the snow-covered mountains of Wizards Folly, she taught him how to bring about an almighty Firestorm upon his enemies and how to control his energy while doing so. Aziure was a great teacher but all too soon Kraal was called to battle against the Charr by Prince Rurik. Little did he know that soon all he knew whole soon come to an end...

The Charr bought about the Searing.

The land was in turmoil. Kraal helped to rebuild as much as possible but, it was not enough; Ascalon had little hope of regaining its former glory for it was impossible to survive the repeated attcks from the Charr. And so, with the help of Prince Rurik and a small band of his remaining followers, Kraal began his pilgramage to rid Tyria of all those who stood against it.

Before he struck out on this mission however, he was not surprised to once again to find Elementalist Aziure waiting for him outside the remains of Ascalon City and, as per usual, her knowledge astounded him. This time she helped him understand ways to protect him and his companions.

The bands first hurdle came with the crossing of the lands surounding Ascalon City. Swarming with Charr, it would be impossible to find safe passage out of Ascalon. It was decided that a small shourtcut was needed and so they traveled to the Ruins of Surmia and activated the portal there before their presence was known; the portal linked with Nolani Academy. Upon arrival, their next step was to collect the mouthpeice of the legendy weapon 'Stormcaller' and fight their way to Rin to invoke its power. Stormcaller strikes fear into the hearts of Ascalon's enemies and thus a (relatively) safe passage to the Northern Shiverpeaks was provided. They arrived at Yak's Bend battered but, whole.

The group pushed on; their destination was Lions Arch.

Their time in the mountains was long and arduous; the presence of the Stone Summit did not help matters. They were not alone however the Deldrimor Dwarves were at hand to lend shelter and reinforcements and in turn they required help to repulse the attack of a new threat; the mursaat. these enemies turned out to be too great an oppenent and in the esuing battles, Prince Rurik fell...

It was a forlorn group that made it out of the Shiverpeakes and to the Gates of Kryta but, their troubles were not yet over. It seems than in the two years since the Searing, remenants of the Guild Wars are still stuggling for dominance and an unusual amount of undead have been amassing on the krytan borders. They meet with Justiciar Hablion who in return for helping stave off the undead, grants them safe passge to Lions Arch.

Destoyers!
It all seemed too soon after, Kraal felt a huge earthquake then heard of three huge crevices one in each of the three lands (coincidence? I think not!!) which lead to parts of the shiverpeaks that were previously thought to be unreachable. After a harrowing escape from some strange new creature, Kraal found himself in the harsh, northern most region on the Shiverpeaks. He meets a group of dwarves working with an impossible ally; the Asura. Asura were people of myth! They are incredibly intelligent; they see the world as a complex magical machine, and their philosophy of “Eternal Alchemy” touches everything they do. Together, they explained to Kraal that the strange creature that he had been chased by was a Destroyer, a fiery, nearly mindless creatures who seek to clear the Depths of Tyria of all life and that they (the dwarves and asura) were working together to stop them. Unfortunately, they alone were not stong enough. So, Kraal took it upon himself to search the Shiverpeaks for allies and it was not long before he found a band of Humans. At first they did not agree to help as their forces were already spread thin trying to hold back the Charr but, after some Charr butt-kicking Kraal persuaded the Ebon Vanguard the join the fray. Next he found another said-to-be-extinct race; the Norn. Or rather, one Norn. Jora explained to Kraal that the Norn were not ralleighed under on ruler but where a race of warriors who only sought a good hunt. So Kraal again had to persuade the Norn (person by person it seemed) that the greatest hunt was yet to come. And so, with the four races united against a common enemy they succeeded in throwing back the destoyers, decovering that the were a hive mind and so sought out the mind that conected them all. In the old scriptures, the Great Destroyer was named to be the one mind the controled them all and so and plan was drawn up and the Graet destroyer was promptly destroyed :D

Epilouge
Kraal now dreams of a large apartment near the central hubbub of Lions Arch, perhaps helping others of his profession gain greater knowledge in the art of the elementalist. However, due to the recent credit crunch he has been forced to save on heating bills by living in his hovel in Perdition Rock. He sits at home waiting for his next chance to help the world and already there are tales of rumblings deeper in the earth than any Destroyer could tunnel...
