The Bible of Entropy
The Way of the Death Angel
"...Chaos is the slab on which reality is written. The vortex that binds
our universe together relies on the termination of life... Life feeds on
life. It has always been that way, and always will be... In our society,
the original urge to hunt and slay, once possessed by our ancestors, has
been lost. It has been replaced by ranching and other such controlled,
untraditional killing... Society is plagued with political powers. These
powers are not natural and crowed out the survival of natural, savage peoples.
It is for this reason that politicians and anyone who unbalances the way
of natural life must be terminated...for the good of the world..."
Ethos of Valhalla
There is a thin line between those who fight
for good, and those who kill for it. Conversely the same for evil.
There is a line thinner still that divides who kills out of need or of
desire. Valhalla is a collection of individuals who enjoy the thrill
of the kill they band together under the greater god Entropy to harness
their full potential as master killers. Since these killers come
from all walks of life and from all mentalities and alignments, the clan
itself is not aligned and focuses on the core issue... To be the
best. They plot together, share with each other, and often teach
each other their skills.
The Arch-Reapers of Entropy
The Arch-Reapers of Entropy are a secret sect
within the Valhalla clan. These members are chosen because of their
elite killing skill and enjoy many divine boons. The Arch-Reapers
are said to become Entropy's death angels in the afterlife
The History of Valhalla
The first Dynasty:
In the beginning, a lone warrior wandered the barren land in search of
prey. This warrior's name was Kurigan. Unlike other warriors of his time,
he was delighted to slaughter anything and anyone in sight. At the time,
his prayers remained unanswered. Until one day, after many sacrifices,
a god finnaly answered his call. The god was called Ayrathast. Kurigan
tried valiantly to recruit more to his cause, but failed. As a result,
he eventually died of worms from his uncooked victims' flesh. With lack
of worship, Ayrathast soon perished as well.
The second Dynasty:
Several generations later, a follower of Entropy and worshiper of Zamiel
deserted the Knights of Zamiel to pursue intrests that the KoZ only lightly
performed. The deserter's name was Karnage. He left because he could no
longer live with such lack of focus. He could not extort, lie, and cheat
because it made him feel somewhat empty. The only thing he really enjoyed
was killing. The Knights of Zamiel were not pleased at all by his decision,
and attempted to kill him. It was at this time, that Entropy was given
his divine assention and left Grok as leader of the KoZ. In a grand showdown,
Grok was slain by Karnage in front of his clan. The rest of the clan merely
backed away knowing they could never kill him, or have him back. Zamiel
in desperate grief for the fallen Grok, quickly returned his damned soul
into his dead body among the world of the living . Grok had been reborn
and returned to his position in the KoZ. Karnage began to spread his teachings
and beliefs. Slowly, others came to follow him. He began wondering where
Entropy had ever gone. After many sacrifices, he received an omen... from
Entropy! Entropy had tried to fight Zamiel for control of his Knights,
but lost. Zamiel, thrilled by the acts of greed and betrayal shown by Entropy
had allowed him to live. Entropy was always with one with the dark side
of the universe, and decided to hear Karnage's prayers and support his
clan. By this time, Nemo and Reporter had been added to the clan. As the
clan grew, so did the world's population fall.
The third Dynasty: Years went by,
and Valhalla continued to grow rapidly. Karnage had established a clan
stronghold and began receiving artifacts from the God of Death for his
clan. After several more years Ander, Karnage's top general noticed that
Karnage was getting old and feeble. Ander then challenged Karnage for control
of Valhalla. Karnage fell into the eternal sleep by Ander's blade, and
Ander became the new King of Valhalla. The
fourth Dynasty: The land had grown much in the past few years.
Midgaard and New Thalos became economic powers of the world, Gardun and
the Knights of Tamo had grown significantly larger, and the Knights of
Zamiel (Valhalla's largest rival) had begun to dwindle in numbers. Entropy
was delighted that his clan had grown to be the most feared in all the
realms. During this time, Diablo from the Knights of Zamiel, deserted in
a fashion much similar to that of Karnage in the days of old. Diablo came
then to join the ranks of Valhalla, where he found he truely belonged.
Also new the the ranks, was Karnage's son Palthine. Several more years
passed, and Palthine became Ander's top general. Much like Ander was to
Karnage. After a short time, Palthine challenged Ander for control of Valhalla
as his father once had. Ander was defeated in a magnificant battle and
yielded control to Palthine. Ander was spared and allowed to remain a member
of the murderous cult. How history does repeat itself...
The fifth Dynasty:
During this time, Ragnarok emereged into its golden age, and
KoZ's numbers began to grow again. Palthine became the most celebrated
King of Valhalla, with the honor of being the most feared killer in all
the realms. Some say that they tried to be on the opposite side of
the realms as far away from Palthine as they could. Palthine seasoned
by his father's old rivalry with the KoZ actively hunted and slew many
of those knights. Palthine then declared the first Valhallan religious
holiday, which is still widely celebrated to this day. One night
Palthine received an omen from Entropy to take on a journey into another
land to start more clan factions and teach his mastery in the arts of killing.
He left Phaeton, his best student, and loyal follower as his successosacrifices, he received an omen... from
Entropy! Entropy had tried to fight Zamiel for control of his Knights,
but lost. Zamiel, thrilled by the acts of greed and betrayal shown by Entropy
had allowed him to live. Entropy was always with one with the dark side
of the universe, and decided to hear Karnage's prayers and support his
clan. By this time, Nemo and Reporter had been added to the clan. As the
clan grew, so did the world's population fall.
The third Dynasty: Years went by,
and Valhalla continued to grow rapidly. Karnage had established a clan
stronghold and began receiving artifacts from the God of Death for his
clan. After several more years Ander, Karnage's top general noticed that
Karnage was getting old and feeble. Ander then challenged Karnage for control
of Valhalla. Karnage fell into the eternal sleep by Ander's blade, and
Ander became the new King of Valhalla. The
fourth Dynasty: The land had grown much in the past few years.
Midgaard and New Thalos became economic powers of the world, Gardun and
the Knights of Tamo had grown nced clan skills, Valhalla was once again
on the road to becomming a major power. Dill had taken of a wife
named Perues, but during a lover's quarrel, the had a quick divorce and
not soon after, Perues was slain by her ex-husband. Perues was revived,
and thrown from the ranks of Valhalla.
The Seventh Dynasty:
Dill was growing old now as well and decided to groom Caane
as his successor. Eventually Dill's vast quantity of personal enemies
became a threat to the clan itself, and he retired. Caane reluctantly
took the crown and slowly began learning the ropes of leadership.
He attracted new and skilled blood to the clan, and continued to invest
the clan's resources wisely. Some of the more seasoned veterans
of the clan became weary of Caane and looked for alternatives to his leadership.
Meanwhile a new clan The Legion of Grok had amassed. Leading this
new clan was Predator the ex-emporer of KoZ. Diablo longed to be
under the excellent leadership of Predator again and Predator knew it.
They conspired together to betray and muderer Caane. The clan was
feeling uneasy about Diablo. Caane created a hidden circle
of protection near the Spring of Valhalla which he thought would protect
his followers as they relaxed near the spring. Little did he know
that that was the stage for his assassination. He was lured
their by Diablo with an already hidden Predator waiting in ambush.
They attacked when Caane appeared, then the circle of protection flared
and defended Caane from all harm. Caane immediatly had Diablo stripped
of his power and cast him out of Valhalla... Diablo promptly returned
to the service of his old master.
The Eighth Dynasty
Now Aikanaka had taken the crown of Valhalla after many years
of dedicated service. Who knows how this dynasty shall unfold.
Legends of Valhalla
Througout Valhalla's history, there have been many legendary killers and
persons within its ranks that will be remembered for all time. With
their kill place (of best killers within the legends)
Karange: The real founder of Valhalla, very good teacher and killer.
Taught Palthine, his son, everything he knows. (1)
Palthine: First major king of Valhalla, constantly made Predator
(the closest non-clan equivalent) soil his britches. The best
killer I have ever seen. (2)
Diablo: This man was unreal. He also left KoZ to become
one with Valhalla. I never saw him lose a single fight, and he fought
OFTEN. (3)
Ciccone: I would rate him just under Diablo and Palthine, he had
his own unique style. Never talked much trash, but his actions did
all the talking. (4)
Phaeton: Really aggressive killer. His success rate was
very high, he spent most his time hunting other players. (5)
Ander: An important past leader that helped shape Valhalla into
what it is today. A pretty decent killer. Most other clans
stayed clear of him. (6)
Fawyna: First female legend of Valhalla, she was right up there
with Ander. (7)
Gelthis: He was a natural. Full of good strategy.
He had a change of heart and became a law enforcer. He turned out
to be the only cop that could deal effectively with Valhallans. (8)
