Speaking of which, this is the text for that page. Posted on the first page of this thread. Thanks to Blanch for helping me out on it. :)
[quote]The Story...
On the world of Derth, the evil sorcerer Malithrax was once again making his move to conquer the Shining Empire. As before, he had summoned a Horde for his bidding. Though the Orcs were, indeed, a warlike race, they were also a noble race, and preferred to fight for glory and personal honor, and not for the greed of one man. As a race, the orcs felt no malice towards the humans and elves of the Shining Empire. But, Malithrax was powerful, and the leaders of the Horde ware coerced into helping. The Orcs would fight unwillingly, but they would fight just the same.
However, when Malithrax had summoned a portal that would take the Horde to their staging area, something went amiss. A storm of pure Chaos energies was intertwined with the magical energies, and the portal was warped and altered. Caught in the maelstrom of energy that followed, a large number of Orcs were hurtled through space and time.
When they awoke, things were not as they remembered. Where they had expected to see great forests and mighty castles, they saw long roads of pure stone, and fortresses that stretched to the sky. It was a city, but unlike anything any Orc had ever seen. Then they saw the natives: Humans! At first the orcs feared attack by the knights of the Shining Empire. However, the people who walked the streets seemed to glance indifferently at them, if at all. And soon, the Orcs found out why. This place, which they learned was called “Paragon City,†was peopled with beings of great power, wizards and warriors referred to as “Heroes†by the populace. These “Heroes†protected the city from the seemingly endless armies of miscreants and evildoers.
The Orcs took this as a sign. Battle was in their blood, and this new world they found themselves in was as much a source of conflict as the one they had left. Though some thought they should battle against the Heroes (many of whom were very much like the Shining Empire Knights), one orc, Gortek, rose above the others and proclaimed that they should battle alongside these humans. It was obvious that this was a place of great power, but also one where a great warrior could find much glory and honor. He pointed out that they were no match for some of the more powerful Heroes. And so they turned their warrior talents on the villains. Hellions, Skulls, The Council, it mattered not. Battle was to be had, and glory was to be theirs.
At first they banded in small parties or made war alone. But soon, the call was upon them. One by one, Gortek began to gather The Horde…[/quote]
