Excerpt
Besides
sickness, the people had never known danger for all lived in harmony, until a
great army of evil arrived. None of the
Humans knew whence they came or why, but their arrival meant the downfall of
the great city. Thousands of Shlocks
descended upon the defenseless town killing all in their wake.
Shlocks
are half men and half something else; they stand a head taller than the tallest
human and have none of their weaknesses; their size does not however hinder
their swiftness. The Shlocks skin is as pale as the moon, and their hair is
dark as night. They have many of the same features as Humans yet their customs
cause a significant difference. The
Shlock warriors mutilate their ears causing them to have a very noticeable
point, they consider it a badge of honor reserved for the brave. To the Humans, Shlocks are a species which
only appear in legend and song.
Usually
the songs end with devastation and death followed by an evil unlike any
other. They are thought to be beings of
extreme intelligence and ruthlessness.
Their arrival may have been unknown, but their savagery is still well
remembered. The town was nearly
destroyed; all of the pearl white houses and grand markets were burned.
