Xenodeus Blade
Sage
Background: The scene involves a very decisive battle between the northern Kingdom of Hydir and the forces of the Ezkai Empire. The first part begins with a field battle outside the capital. The Hydirian forces are losing, but this is merely a diversion. Within the castle walls, a very old archmage and a group of would be mages are preparing a very powerful and very dangerous spell, the spell would incinerate enemies while leaving allies(who are marked) unharmed. The tides of the battle are turned, until some of the Ezkai forces enter the city.
The second part begins inside the city. In the resulting fight, Elenya, the princess of the Hydir, loses the mark as a wave of fire comes towards her. She is saved my her father, King Thorgrim, who gives her his mark, and is burned alive.
What I need help is on what to do after it? Also if anyone knows how to write large scale battles, that would help. Here is some information on both sides:
Hydir:
1) The Hydir are kind of a hybrid of Vikings and Celtic tribes
2) They have technology equivalent to ninth century Europe
3) They have around 13000 to 20000 soldiers
Important Characters:
Tom: A hybrid catperson/human. He was raised as a farmer/fisherman, but resently has some sword training. His main weapon is a god-crafted sword that is six feet long with a long shaped like a wing/lightning bolt. But because he is fighting normal humans, the sword acts as a normal sword.
Orin: A human paladin. Old friend of Tom's father. Wears plate armor and weilds a long sword. Skilled with a crossbow. Also turns into a werewolf
Fia: A catgirl. Friend of Tom. Small and pietie. Has a gentle exterior, but resently has been more and more violent. Armed with a short bow and knives.
Niklas: A catperson. Friend of Tom. Short, fat, and a coward. He lacks the physical ability to use weapons, but is great on thinking on his feet.
Elenya: Half dark elf Half human. Princess of Hydir and one of its best warriors. She is exteremly beautiful(think Tifa from Final Fantasy VII with red hair), great tactican, and has superhuman strength. Very impulsive. Armed with a battle axe and a pair of katar.
Bentolios(Bentley): A halfling wizard. Extremely old(over 4000), ill tempered, and loves a good ale. Like all mages, he must prepare all his spells ahead of time and store them in a staff.
Thorgrim: Human king of Hydir. Recently rescued from Ezkai forces. A very large and impossing man with greying red hair. He wears mithril scale armor and a warhammer and negates weak spells(such as fireballs)
Ezkai:
1) Mix between Roman leigions,Ming Dynasty China, and Greek hoplites.
2) They have technology equal to 15th to 16th century Europe. They also have airships, muskets, and Greek Fire.
3) They have about 25000 to 30000 thousand soldiers with four steampunk tanks, one airship, and 400 wyvern cavalry.
Important Characters:
1) Noland Baas: Captain of the Airship Bloodsword and Emperor's nephew. Believes that everyone is beneath him, including his own men, and want nothing more than to wipe these savages off the planet. He wields the ancestral bastard sword of the Emperor, created by the same people that made Tom's sword.
2) Arious Gi: General of the Ezkai land forces. Has never lost a battle, but has lost both his legs, his right eye, and left arm. His battle tactics are second to none. Unlike Noland, he holds a great respect for the Hydir, for his mother was from there.
If anyone has any ideas that want to give me, critisims, or just to put their two cents in, just leave a comment.
