Endlos Taghu

**Endlos Taguh “The last King of Hammel”**

Endlos Taguh was the
born to Licht Taguh the ruler of the kingdom of Mensch. Licht was well
respected through out Hammel. He was seen as a kind, gentle and lead by
example. The only thing that Licht wished for was a heir to the throne
and to carry his name. legend has it Licht in a fit of desperation
prayed to the gods for a child and offered anything in return. Only one
god who answered was Perdu the god of the Lost. Perdu offered Licht a
son one of his name to carry on into eternity the only thing he asked
for in return was for Licht to love his son and provide the best for
him. Licht struck the deal with Perdu.

 As Perdu promised one
full moon passed and Licht's wife was pregnant with child. Several
months later the kingdom welcomed Endlos Taghu into the world. Endlos
was like any other young child curious of the world around him and the
other cultures around him. Endlos often traveled with him to the Elfen
City of Forêt and Zwerge Kingdom of Berg. It was in Forêt that Endlos
first saw magic. Little more then parlor tricks in owner of his fathers
arrival by apprentices still learning. None the less Endlos had never
seen such things back home
 When Endlos was about to come to age he
 asked for one thing to learn magic. Lumière the head counselor Forêt
and of warned Licht the toll that magic would take on Endlos but Licht
could not look past his son's request. It was believed that no other
race then the Elfen had the will power to with stand the sheer power of
using magic. Licht with much delay was able to convince his dear friend
Lumière to teach Endlos the ways of magic. Endlos was to be the first
Mensch to be taught Magic. On Endlos's birthday Lumière came and took
him to Forêt to learn magic. To much of Lumière's surprise Endlos
seemed to not be phased by the use of magic. Lumière taught Endlos with
caution, trying to lean him into the teachings of nature and life.
Unknown to Lumière, Endlos was spending his free time learning other
artist of magic usually held back for those with the understanding of
greater knowledge in the arts. Years passed and Endlos became more and
more powerful in the arts of magic. He had earn the respect of both his
master Lumière and peers as a equal. Endlos returned home after
receiving a message that his father had come ill. Within days of
arriving Licht passed and Endlos took his place as King of the Mensch.
Endlos had spent most of his young adulthood training in magic and did
not know how to run a kindom. He called to his master and friend Lumière
 to advise him on running his new kingdom. He also called on Silber
Amboss the war Chief and ruler of the Zwerge who recided in Berg the
Mountain to help him learn warfare and combat. This union of the races
lasted for many many years until the plague of came. The Plague crossed
 all of the land of Mechsch quickly killing thousands and leaving
hundreds homeless and without family. The Elfen and Zwerge tried to help
 Endlos but he fell uneasy as the plague seemed to only effect the
Mensch. After several out burst of anger towards his once allies Silber
 Amboss and Lumière left to their homes. Endlos reseeded to his room.
Rumors started whispering withing his castle that he had gone mad.
Servants that brought him food said he would be often seen talking to
someone that was not there. The kingdom seemed doomed to fall to this
plague. Then with a turn of events Endlos came from his room calling for
 a meeting with his Mensch advisers. He explained that he was visited by
 a old god of a time forgotten. That the God promised to heal his people
 and gave him these. Stretching his hand out Endlos dropped serveral
black seeds. Plant these seeds and with in three days there will be a
purple flower from this flower you will get more seeds to plant. Dig up
the roots and boil them. feed the broth to the people and the plague
will be gone within a few months. The advisers did not know what to do.
This plan seem mad but what choice did they have the plague was over
taking the kingdom and time was not on their side. Within three months
the Mensch were saved but Endlos still believed in his heart that the
Elfen had created this plague. He also knew the Zwerge would not stand
by as their ally were butchered from this world. Endlos prepared his
army to march on Berg and remove the Zwerge form existence.

**Siege of Berg**
 The siege on Berg had begun. Walls that soared into the sky like
mountains were met by Mensch war machines. Massive catapults rained fire
 and stone down on Berg all day and night with out a single reply of
arms. The Mensch army could see how furious Endlos was becoming from in
his tent looking over books and scrolls. It was the seventh continuous
night of siege that Endlos stepped out of his tent. Wearing his
ancestors armor and long sword in hand. He informed his generals that
the old god has given him the power to end this tonight forever.
Stepping forth he ordered his men to stand guard and kill any vermin
that try and escape. Stepping thro the ash of burning boulders Endlos
made his way to the walls of Berg. There he placed one had on the wall
firmly raising his sword high into the sky with the other,. Endlos began
 to chant in a language not heard in over ten thousand years. His voice
began to become louder and louder echoing in the minds of soldiers to
close to him. Then with a flash night became as bright as mid day. The
soldiers that were there recall seeing the stones of the wall rippling
like a stone falling into the pond. Then with crash of thunder a huge
hole blew the wall inwards throwing Zwerge that were inside like specs
of sand, Endlos stepped in. The Zwerge stood no chance Endlos was no
longer himself. With speed and might unheard of since the days of the
gods walking Hammel Endlos was unstoppable. Working his way to the
throne room which he had visited with his father. Stepping in to the
grand throne room of Stein the Deathless Endlos came face to face with
his once trusted adviser Silber. Nothing was said between the two or
nothing that only the two of them had heard. The Two of them launched
int o a bloody battle. Bringing his warhammer down on Endlos with many
usually fatal blows it is believed Silber would have fallen easily to
Endlos if it wasn’t for the golum armor

**The Shattering**
Endlos had fought his way to the birth place of his teachings Forêt the
city of the Elfen. He knew his old master Lumière was waiting for him.
This is were the last of the Zwerge of Berg were hiding. It was in
Forêt that the Elfen and the remaining Zwerge had forged their final
chance at survival Arche (The Ark). A Zwerge forged Elfen imbued with
magic weapon they had hoped to end Endlos finally.
 It was the
twelfth day of the siege of Forêt that Endlos emerged. It wasn’t sure if
 he had been there the whole time just watching or that he was farther
away then his army gathering his strength for the final battle. Carrying
 Black Stone he walked threw the army of the Elfen and Zwerge as if it
was a child throwing pebbles. It was in the Halls of Lernen that Endlos
and his old master Lumière came face to face. Lumière was no match truly
 for Endlos it was just his job to hold Endlos in the Halls while the
Zwerge positioned the Ark into place.The duel rain from the halls and
into the sky. It is said that magic poured down. It is said that magic
poured down from the skys tossing bodies into the air on fire. It was
said that the armies no longer fought each other but ran from the city
as the very earth roared in pain. Once Lumière received word that the
ark was in place. He poured everything he had into the ark ultimately
sacrificing himself to end it there. The Ark was made to remove Endlos
from this world and place him in another. It had in fact done that but
because of something unknown to even the Elfen something reached into
the world of man had worked its way into every heart of Mensch. Every
man, woman and child were taken with him.

**Mond and Sonne**
Thrown into a new world the Mensch were struggling to stay alive. Only
coming with the items that were on them or in their hands. Endlos was
now free of the whispers of this old god. He sat in silent for several
days pondering all that had happened. The without warning Endlos began
to walk heading south. With any real guidance the Mensch who could
followed. As time went on and more and more died of starvation and
dehydration faith began to sway away from Endlos. Many believe that
Endlos was leading them to death. It was at the breaking point that the
remaining Mensch went over a ridge and saw the ocean. Endlos had led
them to water and the survival. Endlos helped his people craft fields to
 grow crops. Raise forests to collect wood for tools and shelter. The
Mensch because of their lose Decided to now go by man and named their
new world Mond and the old Sonne. The settlement would become the first
city of man, Endlos named it after his father Licht (the light). At some
 point Endlos left his people not to return. It is widely believed that
Endlos ascended to godhood as the first god of Mond watching over man
for eternity. Many shrines and the faith of Endlos was born.

**Birth of the rifts**
 Nearly 2 thousand years had passed and many of these stories had passed
 as old folk tales or legend. Man had built many cities, and fought man
wars against each other. Then It began with a rumor, of creatures never
 seen before. Beasts that could fly above, with blades stronger then any
 sword. Other creatures who walked upright with dark rotten colored
skin. Then came Eidechse death bringer. A creature never told in the
stories of old. Eidechse towered higher then any structure man had even
hoped to build. Walking on all fours while on the ground with lighting
speed only trumped by his speed in the air when his colossal wings
eclipsed the sun. His green skin was covered in a thick layer of scales
stronger then the best metals combined. Eidechse was unchallenged and
his army seemed unstoppable. It wasn’t till he made the brave choice to
 attack Licht that Eidechse under estimated man. Expecting the attack
the leaders of man gathered their greatest warriors. Trusting them with
the only chance of stopping this beast. The warriors were gifted with
weapons and armor. Crafted with the finest metals, engraved with runic
symbols of Endlos.

 As Eidechse approached the city the warriors
met him in front of the great gates leading into the city. It took only
moments before the warriors were engaged in a fatal battle with the
beast. With each swing warrior after warrior fell lifeless torn apart.
it was believed that the warriors had failed Licht and its people. It
was Edre Hakr lifeless body, a son of a farmer who had learned to fight
in several of the small battles fought throughout over land borders.
Edre had carried onto battle a war-hammer unknowingly to him and
believed even the men who given it to him that day. The war-hammer was
Schwarzer Stein the “Black Stone” of Endlos himself. As the city seemed
doomed the very heavens began to brake and with it a flash a beam of
light crashed over Edre's body. When the light dimmed enough to see
though a figure stood before Eidechse. Endlos had returned to Mond using
 Edre's reanimated body as a vessel. A one sided battle erupts between
the two. With a final strike Endlos struck with such force Eidechse's
body shattered like glass into thousand pieces. Once Eidechse's forces
saw that their master had be slain they quickly scurried back to the
north. Just as fast as Endlos had come so he was gone. Edre's body was
never recovered because of his sacrifice he was over time worshiped by
farmers and the commander. It was the survivors of Licht that renamed
Mond after Edre because of is sacrifice. The war-hammer was recovered by
 monks of Endlos hid away for safe keeping. From this event the
remaining warriors formed a new brotherhood. One to protect humanity
forever from the rifts and themselves. This was the beginning of the
chapter.
