 Diago became a Darkthorne upon drinking the corrupt blood of a Darkthorne. He swore to lead the Darkthornes on a campaign to become conquerors of the known lands. He then led a campaign against other thorne clans, killing them all except for barely a handful. He united the Darkthornes by strength and fear, an iron rule. Diago became a Darkthorne upon drinking the corrupt blood of a Darkthorne.

-Diago taught Eseer the way of the pits and allowed him to join the Darkthornes. Eseer would split the Darkthornes, turning many against Diago. In the end, after the two armies clashed, the warlords met on the field of battle. Eseer managed to get the upper hand and defeated Diago. Diago was mocked and banished to the shadow lands. There he remained until a breach, in reality, allowed him to escape. Diago has not been seen since.+Diago taught Eseer the way of the pits and allowed him to join the Darkthornes.

 Diago grew up in a very dark place. His father was a great hero among the uncorrupted tuatha clans beyond the veil. Many of the other clans followed his father into battle against the corrupt Tuatha, the Darkthornes. Their clan lived in the remote wilderness between Regalia and Belathian.  Diago grew up in a very dark place. His father was a great hero among the uncorrupted tuatha clans beyond the veil.

Line 32: Line 32:
 Diago's father rarely showed any emotion, he was known for his strength and skill in battle. A tuatha from a neighboring clan came to Bohan with information about a weakness in the Darkthorne's defenses. Bohan had never seen this tuath before, but for some reason, he believed him. He led his clansmen under one banner against the Darkthorne's flank. It was a ploy, and the Darkthornes came in on both sides. In the battle against the Darkthornes he died along with many of his clansmen. Diago was left with his mother, who was just as cold as his father, and now set on revenge. Manece used a powerful artifact to destroy Edu and the thorne army along with many of his own Darkthornes. Diago's home was burning around him, that is when an airship, the "Morning Star", flew overhead attracted by the smoke.  Diago's father rarely showed any emotion, he was known for his strength and skill in battle.

-He boarded the "Morning Star" and left with the crew his home burned behind him. Diago fell into a great depression. His clan was destroyed, everyone he knew dead, and he was alive.+He boarded the "Morning Star" and left with the crew his home burned behind him. Diago fell into a great depression.

-Diago flew into a rage and slew his mother, he then turned his rage on his dead clansman. He was so consumed by his rage that he did mistake Suldes for a foe and struck the young female elf. He snapped from his rage picking up Suldes's limp form, he and the crew fled to the ship. +Diago flew into a rage and slew his mother, he then turned his rage on his dead clansman.

Line 51: Line 51:
 Diago awoke, his eyes yellow and his mouth filled with rows of vampiric fangs, dripping paralytic venom. He grasped Dromi in an iron grip and plunged his mouth filled with daggers into her exposed neck. She lay dying as he began to rip the rest of the crew and the Darkthornes apart. His bloodlust subsided and he was faced with the reality of his actions. He fainted to the ground amidst the corpses of his allies. When he awoke, he could hear the sound of drums and cheers of a crowd. He found himself in the fighting pits of Belathian, Manece say atop a balcony overlooking the pits. Diago awoke, his eyes yellow and his mouth filled with rows of vampiric fangs, dripping paralytic venom.

 ====Blood and Title==== ====Blood and Title====
 Diago welcomed the prospect of dying in the pits, but his instincts wouldn't let him. He was a survivor, he could hear the voices of his fallen friends in his head accusing him, mocking him. The world had wronged him at birth, destiny was a cruel mistress. His only hopes were to die with honor or to find a reason for living. As he fought and killed, his conscious slowly began to wither and die. He began to enjoy bathing in the blood of his defeat and broken enemies. Those who challenged him knew only fear and prayed for death. Diago welcomed the prospect of dying in the pits, but his instincts wouldn't let him.

-The crowd loved him and he had discovered a new goal in life. With every victory, he would look up at Manece and he would plot. One day slaves brought in from a skirmish in the Kordic lands began a rebellion. Diago was able to make his way to the balcony and knocked Manece into the pits. He jumped down and declared the right of Kromac Onrac. Manece accepted his challenge and the two dueled in the pits, Diago won over Manece and ripped out his heart, eating it.  The Darkthornes hailed him as their new leader, and they saw in him someone that would lead them to a new era.+The crowd loved him and he had discovered a new goal in life.

 Now it was clear to the house leaders, but it was too late. Diago was stronger now and he was enraged. When the slaughter was over, he turned his sights on Celian. The halls of the citadel echoed with screams into the night. He set about a plan to destroy the "Morning Star" to get his revenge on his former crewmates. He would have destroyed the vessel had it not been for a young thorne passenger, Reese Blackthorne. The young druid shielded the vessel from Diago's shadow blast. As the vessel sailed off.  Now it was clear to the house leaders, but it was too late. Diago was stronger now and he was enraged. When the slaughter was over, he turned his sights on Celian.

-Diago pursued the remaining free clans outside Velusia. They were crushed beneath his armies, given a choice, join or die. Many chose to drink the corrupt blood and the Darkthornes swelled with new blood. Diago was not satisfied with the outskirts of Velusia, he wanted more. The voice in Diago's head urged him to take Velusia.+Diago pursued the remaining free clans outside Velusia. They were crushed beneath his armies, given a choice, join or die.

Line 72: Line 72:
 Diago strode triumphantly down to the lower reaches of the temple. He gazed upon the black beating heart, it pulsated in a pool of black blood. Diago returned with the heart and sealed it away in his vault. He intended to use it to create a pool from which one could drink and become a Darkthorne. It would allow him to create endless Darkthornes and replenish their number. The thorne clans inside Velusia's borders were slowly dwindling. If he could simply out number them, he would win one way or the other.  Diago strode triumphantly down to the lower reaches of the temple.

-Diago launched a campaign against the Blackthornes. Instead of defeating the Blackthornes he drew their attention. They stormed the citadel and destroyed the dark heart at great cost. Zane Blackthorne fell in battle against Diago, but managed to severely injure the Darkthorne leader, with his sword "stardust"+Diago launched a campaign against the Blackthornes.

Line 78: Line 78:
 Diago spent years recovering from the wound, he cursed Zane wishing he had never met the on they called the black swordsman. His gut burned and turned, he could never make the pain cease. As the years passed the pain ebbed. It was around this time that he discovered Eseer at the behest of the shadow. The shadow wanted Eseer to be slain, Diago, however, threw Eseer to the pits. He saw someone with potential, but no goal. Eseer fought as Diago did in the pits and eventually rose up and escaped.  Diago spent years recovering from the wound, he cursed Zane wishing he had never met the on they called the black swordsman.

-Rumors abounded that Reese Blackthorne was attempting some sort of ritual to protect all of Velusia from some shadowy unseen threat. Diago saw this as the perfect opportunity for him to kill the king. Diago was attacked by Eseer during the attempt and slain, by Eseer and Reese. Diago, however, refused to die, so Reese banished him to the shadow realm. In the shadows, Diago plotted and waited, swearing he would have vengeance. +Rumors abounded that Reese Blackthorne was attempting some sort of ritual to protect all of Velusia from some shadowy unseen threat.
