Eurayel's journeys began in the drow city, where she learned her craft.
The Iron Citadel within the city, where Queen Illythir resides, has a
handful of instructors that is well versed in each of their crafts. Combat,
communing, incantations, and more. A plethora of knowledge to pass down to
the young drow, especially the females. Eurayel quickly grabbed the
attention of the Cleric, Priestess, Warlock, and pretty much all of the
instructors due to her prowess in several specific areas of their teachings.
The Captain of Guard, being a prominent figure in town, saw things in
Eurayel that reminded her of herself when she was young and coming of age.
She allowed the young drow to train with the guardsmen, informally of
course, seeing how the males were the basic guards, and the females were the
superiors. Not long after, she was snapping orders at the guardsmen and the
Captain would have to reel her in just a bit. Her superiority complex began
to grow, and her patience for something more grew thin. Eventually, it was
a natural instinct of hers to desire power. It manifested inside until the
day came where she wanted to surface from Unlit City and exude her prowess
upon Serin. First destination was Seringale, locating a specific guildhall.
Melee fighting, mounted combat, spell work and incantations. Yes, the
Dark-Knight guild was a perfect fit.
Coup in Unlit City
Much time has passed. Eurayel has made her mark on Serin, and her
reputation preceeds her. Once again, her desire for more was coming back to
the forefront. She knew her next move, and it was time to make it. Unlit
City was now in her sights. She devised a plan. A plan to overthrow Queen
Ilythir and take the throne for herself. Starting with an old friend, the
Captain of Guard. She was able to use her as a catalyst for infiltrating
the guardsmen. With a few bags of coins, threats, and a couple slit
throats, the coercion spread. The few Elite Guards within the Iron Citadel
were also tainted, and their allegiance was gained as well. The coup was
executed according to plan. There was nothing Ilythir could do with this
unexpected and swift event. Despite wanting to be Queen for the prestige
and power, Eurayel knew she didn't have the time to physically be on the
throne day in and day out. So she came up with another plan. Ilythir was a
known figure throughout the lands. She was adept in the trade affairs and
politics. So Eurayel came up with one option for Ilythir... You will
remain in the Citadel and be my Regent, or you will lose your head. From
Queen to now prisoner of the throne, she grudgingly accepted the offer to
buy herself more time. The coup was completed. All hail Eurayel the
Unholy, Queen of the Drow.
Description:
Her pointy ears perk up right as naturally intended, and pale skin
glimmers when touched by light. She is thin, but sturdy and strong enough.
All of her short, beautiful silver hair stands straight on end and flares
back and upwards. Something has caused her eyes to be engulfed by complete
darkness, leaving no trace of any other colour behind. They are wide open
and full of an untamed energy that sends out a intimidating glare. She
cocks her head back slightly as her sharp jaw line drops open and lets out a
purposeful cackle, saliva stringing from her teeth. You can hear her
exhaling sharply through only her nose, intensifying the emotion of the
disdainful look on her face, as she briskly snaps her head towards you. The
ambience of an unholy presence is about her. That is clear. You see the
weapon in her hand is clutched onto with intensity, turning her knuckles
white enough to be stand out against her already pale skin. Her veins are
noticeably pulsating and course with a rippling sensation.
It's like she is absorbing, or feeding off this...this darkness.
Respected and feared through out the entire life of conundo. Interaction with this char were awesome. When I misspelled something and someone corrected me she murdered them and I've loved her ever since
See, these are the "crowd cheers" I was talking about in the other graveyard. The one with the hundred posts of complaining. It doesn't matter what anybody else's opinion of your character is. You have earned them.
HoE if ever there was one, and well earned. Well done, you will be missed, in the way that people miss looking over their shoulder every ten seconds wondering if someone is going to jump them.
Caught Jyrdivar twice not paying attention, then I finally caught up all spelled up and ready to rain invoker pain and I went link dead, murdered again, then Jyrdivar wanted Eurayel's favor. It was clear the gods did were not with my scary invoker when it came to the queen.
I honestly think that Dark Knight at level 50 is not as easy as it sounds, well played.
Great run! Why not go Legion Forsaken though? Was it play style, role play or commitment or something? Not meant to be a slight in any way - just curious because I’m sure you could have had it if you wanted.
Legion was the next phase of the RP process. It was planned out months ago...With backgrounds for each step of the way. Even did a description change. I have no time to dedicate to AR right now, though. So we weren't able to get to some things... Is what it is.
Totally thought that Eurayel was a complete badass. I was hoping to play out the whole RP thing that we had going, but it wasn't meant to be. I was digging the whole drow queen thing, HOE all the way.
Cinnon, I feel like it would be an injustice not to give you a shout out. You were my man... Most fun I had was with you and those 2v3 fights. Your role playing is what sparked the idea in my head for the Unlit City Coup. You were part of my character development. My sincere appreciation goes to you.
Eurayel, did you actively seek high ac items at the expense of say hit/dam, or did you select high hit/dam items and they had high ac as well? I am guessing unholy armor played a part of this as well.
I did sacrifice a little bit of hit/dam. But unholy strength and the voulge, my damage output was perfectly acceptable.
Unholy armor was at 108, which is pretty good for a drow, considering weight restrictions.
One of the many ways I boosted my AC, for example, was I enchanted my fullplate 5 layers(lucky). That's a nice bonus for the slot multiplier.
I could've hit the 600's if I had a little more time to tweak it.
I liked my interactions with Eurayel. When I was playing Jorgrun (yeah I never claimed him, but that was me), some of the most intense PvP moments I have had were against her. She was also an honorable opponent, never taking excessive amounts of equipment as far as I noticed.
I only interacted with you once. Should have been more paranoid, but thought I was safe in my hiding spot. Unfortunately for me you put in effort when searching. Lol. Forced me to teleport and I died, haha.
Cool character, amazing record. You dunked my pacifist afk lol. Killed my monk once in a straight up fight. Other than those two though... It seemed that if I didn't walk directly into your trap, you wouldn't engage. Since dark knights traps are very easy to see through it left us just not fighting very much.
I believe the curse weapon change came halfway through Eurayel's life? Could be wrong... I picked up a whip of vines, that was no-drop. I was going to blow it up using curse weapon. I cursed it, and it was now "bound to me". The first weapon you curse will bind to you. I think you should be able to choose which weapon you want bound to you...maybe that has been changed now.

Since then we have added "cast 'curse weapon' <mundane weapon> forever" to make sure the player really intended to bind that weapon, not stick you with the first one.
It is the most difficult decision a dark knight will ever make. Do you do a two hander? It could be quite strong but there are lots of good two handed available. Do you grab a one hander and aim for a vulnerability like pierce/slash? Or do you go for a weapon that some classes don’t have (like a whip if you anticipate fighting berserkers or sword/axe for fighting clerics)? You only get one shot at it so making the wrong choice could be devastating.
