The Black Ice

The rumours about the evils lurking beneath the seals had long been made a fact. Of all the scourges of the first creation, the Black Ice was the first to strike fear in the hearts of the settlers. Driven only be the will towards perfection the Black Ice knows no mercy or compassion but only the endless flow of soldiers, Rakhs, formed by the collective will of the Amôn’Kharr and sent into battle. First of the Forsaken Elements to break forth from a seal, the Black Ice has long held the status of a symbol of the Forsakens’ power and today, after the war at the opening of the final seal, the essence is stronger than ever. Since the Black Ice absorbs everything it learns about the conflict, learned from the minds of thousands of settlers, it continues to develop and stands ready to conquer Mythodea, be it settlers, the hords of the other Forsaken, or even the armies of the Ratio in its way.

The Undead Flesh

Just as the Black Ice, the Undead Flesh had been stuff of rumours for a long time. A story to scare little children, told by those who wanted to keep the south of Mythoea for themselves. Yet when the seal was opened and the endless army of undead bodies from the crypts of Ankor Mortis came forth, the true power of the fiend of all life became apparent.The Undead Flesh and the Bone Queen, as its immortal goddess, were said to be invincible. That why it came as a surprise to everyone, especially the host of the elements, when the Bone Queen suddenly disappeared and rumours of a rebellion in the capitol, even the death of the Bone Queen began spreading like wildfire. In this dire situation the leaders of the fighting Lairdoms turned to the Heralds of the Ratio and forged an alliance to fight against the settlers and recapture the capital. And even though some see the events in Ankor Mortis as a chance it doesn’t change the fact that the Army of Doubt is now made larger by the rusty swords and ancient shields of the Lairdoms and thus has made an infamous and feared ally.

The Void & Oily Pestilence

The Void, the utter and complete absence of everything, used to be a game of thought in the beginning. A construct, a theory never to be tested. But without fail there would be those among the Ancient Rulers who would not respect the boundaries and try to take steps which would endanger creation as a whole. They created a Forsaken Element whose sole purpose was the elimination of everything that exists. That is how the mighty Nophobos came into being, the cunning, sadly beautiful Viinshar and the invincible Phobosaar, always ready to spread the negation of all being.

The Oily Pestilence came into being through more of an accident, but it was rooted in the intention of wiping all sickness from the face of Mythodea. From the experiments of the Anscient Rulers sprung something that soon couldn’t be reversed or even stopped. Sicknesses spread and had only one goal: To feed and multiply. Trying to live with this new creation, to stem its flow, the Biothaumaturgs and Dreamwalkers came into being, who use the Pestilence but at the same time are its most tragic victims.

Since they had always been the smallest units of the Forsaken Elements the Void and the Pestilence had become the favourite targets of the host of the elements during the battle for the last seal. And even though both these elements fought their best and showed their power, it became apparent that they would have to pay the highest price for Argus’ plan to come to fruition. Blow by blow, the army of the settlers brought them closer to extinction.

The future of the Void and the Pestilence remains unclear. Have some of them survived? Will they remain in Mythodea or have they fled to the Mirrorworld? Nothing seems to be certain anymore and reliable information on whether the Void and the Pestilence are destroyed or not is in great demand!
