Part1: the creation and decline

I figured id include the bludgeons into the Ms lore...
i think they deserve it..
They are based on vomica's bludgeon model
and ideas were gotten from the Tauren and the Minotaur.
of couse i made most up myself...Enjoy.


For many many many many years ago, a race lived on this world known as the Loreldians...eventually the Loreldians discovered a powerful magic known as Fate, that allowed them to manipulate time and space itself in endless ways

soon the Loreldians destroyed each other
and only three were chosen to guard the world
Felewyn,Urdual and Torkalath,
the last survivors were banished to other worlds

soon new races walked the world
one of theese were the Bludgeons

they were a wise Bovine race with good connections to the nature
and with love for balance of good and evil,
they were 3 meters high,
and they had robust bodies
they used leather armors normally.
They followed Urdual, and shared his ideas

The Bludgeons lived in small mountain or coast villages
thoose villages were ruled by a chieftain

there existed 2 Bludgeon tribes

the Dawnhope , they wore blue clothes and lived by fishing
they also shared ideas with Felewyn.
Their villages were located at the coast

then there also existed the Sunchasers
theese Bludgeons lived in the mountains and lived by hunting the wildlife
they disliked the Dawnhope and shared ideas with Torkalath

often the two tribes got into small skirmishes
and often joined as mercenaries in the armies of the other races that often battled in this early age of the world.

but this was about to change...
one day another Loreldian appeared Pathos,
Pathos balanced out the world and now chaos and order lives togheter

this however enraged some fanatical Bludgeons and two new tribes appeared

the Darkhoof,
and Goldhorn

Thoose tribes were nomadic and fought each other often
the Dawnhope and Sunchasers eventually aided one of the sides to balance it out

Centuries passed
and the bludgeons were more and more isoloated from the world
until... Balance was broken... And the wars started again
now this new foe,
Lor Malgoriand appeared, athough first now they noticed him
he has been around for some time.

The Goldhorns were erradicated by armies of undead
and the Sunchasers also fell for the great armies of Lor Malgoriand.
The Darkhoof alligned themselves to Lor Malgoriand
and became Bludgeon Demons

the Dawnhope started to get desperate and abandonned their old living habits and started to build cities with walls

one day however a giantic army of orcs invaded the Dawnhope capital of
Learana(Unrest2),
they slaugthered any Bludgeon they could find and renamed it to
Nashalrath, the capital of the Bludgeon demons

After the fall of Lor Malgoriand,
Nashalrath fell rapidly into ruin and sank underground
taking many Bludgeon demons with them including
Hashalgath the bludgeon king.

However
not all Dawnhopes did die...
a few survived and hid during the conflict

this story will be about a female Dawnhope
named Danara Hawkface

but this... will come in the next chapter

hope you like it.

Bludgeon Triology Part2: The old sage

Part2: The old sage

After the defeat of Lor Malgoriand, the Bludgeons of the Dawnhope tribe moved to the Bloodrose Mountains and builded a village named Valanora
there they started to rest from the conflicts, they traded with the elven village Mynath and were relatively happy, many years passed, then the Orcs came again, small scattered orc survivors attacked Valanora constantly, even Bludgeon Demons were reported.

Chieftain Rainhawk decided it was time to leave Valanora and find a better place to live, a young Bludgeon female Danara Hawkface will play a big part in this plot...

It was an early morning in Valanora,
anything was fine, the outpostes reported no anomaly.
Danara was early up collecting berries,
a young male Bludgeon, Thoranol approached her
"Hello Danara... its a fine day istn it?"
she smiled "Yes it is, i missed you..."
he answered "I missed you too..i promise not to be away weeks anymore."
Thoranol is a scout so he is often out, but he stayed 3 weeks out to explore the outlying Daragoth Plains,

Danara is 14 years old, she is quite young, Bludgeons lives up to centuries.
Thoranol is 23 years old.
Danara looked at him, "Why dont you take me with you on your next expedition?, im tired of staying here."
Thoranol was totally shaken "Definetly not, do you have idea of how dangerous it is?, my friend Tharakol was murdered by a bear."
Danara replied swiftly "I am a warrior and i passed the rites of strength,"
she showed him her sword.
Thoranol was amazed "It took me 2 years of trying to do that"
Danara smiled, "so can i come?"
Thoranol smiled " of course you can...but be careful"

The next morning Thoranol and Danara left Valanora and went west to the
Bloodrose Mountains

while travelling Danara asked Thoranol
"How far did you ever travel?"
he replied "I was lost once and ended in an undead evil forest... was lucky to get out alive,"
she looked shaken, "Ooh...spooky"

Suddenly a band of four orcs appeared,
the biggest of the orcs yelled "Die!"
and they all attacked Thoranol and Danara,
Danara was quick to slay two of the orcs,
Thoranol had much more trouble, all the gear he carried made him slower,
Danara was quick to help him out and murdered another orc.
The big orc escaped and then picked up a big horn from his sack and used it,

Suddenly a band of six orcs appeared,
Thoranol yelled " GO AWAY! NOW DANARA!

Danara withdrew her bow,
"I wont leave you"
she hit two orcs in the head killing them instantly,
Thoranol killed one of them, but then the big one yelled "Halt!"
he runned down and with his sword stabbed Thoranol and then cutted his neck. The big bludgeon died,

Danara was shocked, "NOOOOO" she yelled in rage,
the big orc left and she immediately murdered the other two,
she runned up to the body of Thoranol and yelled while crying
"THORANOL!!! WAKE UP!!!"

she despaired, then a human saw them
"What are you?"
she replied "I am nobody... just finish me"
he looked down to her, "It hurts to loose one you liked and knew...my brother died yesterday...ambushed by a band of orcs."
she looked at him "He was so young..it was that big orc with a cross on the chin" the man looked at her "It was the same orc that killed my brother... you know what...come il take you to the village of Helena, i will make sure they wont hurt you, my name is Daedan"
she smiled "Of course i want your help..."

Daedan and Danara travelled to Helena
all people and guards were very curious when they saw the big bovine humanoid appear, a child asked "is that a mutant cow?"
an old man however yelled "Kill that thing! its a demon!!!"
Danara was shocked, "IM NOT A DEMON"
the old man spit at her" YES YOU ARE! i saw demons like you before."
she replied "That must have been the Darkhoof clan...they turned to demons for Lor Malgoriand"

the old man looked at her, "i dont trust you"
Daedan defended Danara by saying that she was harmless and enemy of the orcs so she definetly cant be a demon.

Daedan told her to go to the plain of daragoth,
"I saw another one like you there"
Danara spent a day travelling there,
and on a mountain top close to Deralia he found an old Bludgeon
"Hello?" she said, the bludgeon turned around
"Hello young one...i suppose you want to know who i am...well i escaped with a boat to the mysterious continent of Dreadwind when Lor Malgoriand
attacked us...i used a magical crystal to get there", he gave her a crystal
you must lead your people to the land of Dreadwind...
my identity is unimportant at this point

then he turned transparent and disappeared.
Danara used a week and several mercenaries to get home to Valanora
she went to the chieftain Rainhawk,
and told him about the whole story and the old sage on the mountain
he was very suspicious
"what if it is a demon in disguise?
she replied "demons cant have a light spirit form, they are corrupted to the core, i saw his pure spirit."
the chieftain sighed then said " we have no choice...we will perish if we stay"

the next days preparations were made for the big travel...
but that must wait for the next chapter.

Bludgeon Triology Part3: The great wandering

Part3: The great wandering

It was an early morning in Valanora,
a fresh wind reigned when the Bludgeons were preparing their wagons and items, they had decided to follow Danara Hawkface and sail across the sea to Dreadwind using a magic crystal Danara got from the old sage.

Chieftain Rainhawk ordered the caravan to move and the great group started their journey and left behind Valanora forever.

Some hours later the group reached the Bloodrose Mountains
Danara was sad, "Thoranol died here..."
but Daedan who followed the caravan reassured her that it was not her fault
Rainhawk led them through a small canyon to avoid the open plain where the orcs lived normally, but to their surprise warcries was heard and an orc army on thirty orcs attacked, Danara was quick to withdraw her bow and defend the Bludgeon herd,

But the orcs were ruthless and slaughtered many bludgeons despite the bludgeons superior strenght and weapons,

Rainhawk ordered retreat but Danara ordered to stay and fight,
"we cannot run from thirty orcs"
but Rainhawk was adamant
"We cant win over them..."
in that same moment an arrow hit Rainhaw killing him instantly
Danara noticed who shot the arrow, the big orc that killed Thoranol,
Daedan recognized him too
"Get that guy he is the leader"
both Danara and Daedan sneaked past the battle onto the cliffside
when the orc was in front of them
"I recognize you two...you were survivors of my previous massacres, im glad you came to me"
immediately he cut the head of Daedan.
Danara yelled "NOO" and with rage attacked the orc
but he was a formidable enemy,
the orc stabbed Danara with a dagger but Danara stabbed the orc with a sword moments after, killing the big orc,

All other orcs retreated in fear,
Danara was appointed new chieftain of the Dawnhopes
she ordered the caravan to continue, pick up the injured and leave the fallen.

Finally they reached the thornlands
Danara tended to her wound, it was a bad cut in her shoulder,
suddenly she ordered the caravan to stop
she forgot only Daedan could give them permission to pass through
Helena, she went alone, some recognized her, after hours of negotiation they made a pact, she would leave the wagons and most of their weapons here

While walking through a boy said they were cute,
she smiled
he was only 4 years old
"who are you"
my name is Holden he replied
she smiled again then took a gold coin and gave it to her
"its magic... its rumored the first chieftain of our clan crafted it, you can have it"


Then they proceeded to the plains only with food.
after a day they reached the great sea, they has to rest so they could build the ships.

And in two days they had builded the ships, they were ready for their travels...Danara studied the crystal the old sage gave her...

What is this crystal?
We will find out in the next and last chapter.

only problem is a race of bovine creatures making leather armor.. sounds like like the bad guy in silence of the lamb (i.e. leather is made from cowhide).
cool though, would be neat if one race was kinda slow and lumbering (we need a good race to intermediate between thornlands and daragoth), to magic (although i think they should be like really naturey magic, and fire, do we have firey bad guys?).

maybe have the dawnhope be nice to humans, thatd be rad. and they make big honkin heavy weapons (like the great axe). id be willing to spend half my weight on like a blugeon maul.

first chapter was a backstory :p

the Dawnhope are more neutral they dont want to be disturbed

as for magic the Dawnhope hate any form of magic.
but their cousins the Darkhoof are warlocks and necromancers

as for the leather its of course not Bludgeon leather
but leather from forest creatures and the like

Bludgeons artifacts can be found in the ruins of Nashalrath and Valanora if they will ever be mapped.

i will write the last chapter soon.

Bludgeon Triology Part4: No Escape

Part4: No Escape

Four days passed since the Bludgeons arrived at the Daragoth coasts,
Danara was preparing the Bludgeons for their travels, but somehow she felt that trouble was brewing... so she ordered also for weapons to be constructed.

She became good friends with a young bludgeon female named
Melanie.

while the Bludgeons worked Danara entertained the children and the youngs
"Il show you how to juggle with a ball"
anyone laughed and enjoyed the night, when suddenly a warcry was heard.

A marauding band of seven Bludgeon demons appeared
Danara was quick to rally the warriors, but the demons used magic to hold them at bay. Volcanos appeared in the camp and killed many bludgeons.

The leader of the demons laughed
"Die cowards"
Danara once again withdrew her bow
one shot, she said...
And hit the leader in the eye, immiately breaking his spell.
the remaining warriors engaged the demons while Danara
supported them with her bow.

Anyone except the leader died, the leader teleported away in rage
Danara looked back at the camp, more than fourty died, and the whole camp was in fire

The next day several males and females had left.
Thoose who saw them said they looked like mad animals

They were only twentyseven now,
they were around ninety when they left Valanora.
They did their best to finish the ships so they could leave Daragoth for good, Danara decided to teach Melanie all what she knew about combat
Melanie was curious about her bow,
she told her about it
"It belonged to my father, i dont know who he is...my mother knew many males, she says its probably the dark hermit she met once."

The next day mountain trolls assaulted their encampment Danara fought bravely and killed the trolls along with the few warriors.

But when she went back to the tent her bow was gone, and Melanie
lied unconiscous on the ground

"it was one of thoose who left"
she said with a weak voice,
she immediately ran outside and saw a big army of orcs ammasing on the steppes, there was no time to waste she ordered Melanie to take some males and females and escape by land.

Melanie executed the order and left
Danara decided to stay behind to slow the enemies down while the rest take the finished boats and leave.
she gave the crystal to a bludgeon and said she would pray for them.

The bludgeons entered the boats and started to sail them away
while Danara knowing she has sealed her fate for her people picked up a sword and fought,

it was rumored she killed seventeen orcs before succumbing
but her sacrifice saved her race.

It is unknown what happended with the groups she sent out
both are rumored to be alive, especially Melanie's group.

This story happended twenty years before master-sword.

Melanie Dawnhoof is the chieftain of the Danaralah clan
renamed to honor Danara Hawkface.

they are nomadic but in the course of the years Bludgeons have been spotted in Thornlands, Bloodrose mountains, and the plains of Daragoth.

The wretched bludgeons who became feral beasts are also rumored to be out there.

Same with the demons, including the general who casted volcanoes in their camp.

Some said the group of Melanie returned to Valanora but any expedition found it an abandoned ruin...

The End
