Story:

The Sodality of the Star is a secret society of the ancient island civilization of Akrotiri. The Sodality devoted to the protection of a powerful jewel, the Sacred Star. When a cataclysmic earthquake devastates the island, members of the society flee in ships, but the jewel is hidden or lost. Throughout the ages of the world, descendants of the original membership seek to recover the jewel for power, faith or riches. But the ancient High Priestess of Akrotiri, Kitane, predicted at the end of her civilization that the Star would not be found until the world was remade in fire and water.

2. The Devastation of Akrotiri (Atlantis) – KNJRA

The earthquake struck in the middle of the night. They didn’t had a chance. Everybody have lost someone they loved and the devastation was so big that the survivors had to abandon the island by ships. They are moving away from the island and sailing into unknown.

Everybody is looking back, but there is nothing to look at. The smoke and the ashes from the air don’t remember at all of the great civilization that it used to be. Everybody is hopping that more boats with people will come but at one point in time they realized that no one will come.

Nobody dares to look away from the island because this means to look in the other direction in to the dark night, toward the future and what will the next day will bring to them.

What their faith is going to be it is uncertain, what is certain is that they left a lot of sorrow behind them.

4. The Peerless Empire (Rome) – Quest for Glory

Centuries have past and the civilization flourished.

At the gates of the capital the army is approaching after a successful campaign in the north of the empire. They defeated their enemies, secured the trade routes and stabilized the borders of the empire. The Imperator’s victorious return brought joy to people's hearts, who waited for him and his soldiers back home. He is marching now with his army through the city and the shiny armors hide the wounds of the ended war. To honor this moment of triumph and celebration the people on the streets are welcoming the heroes with their well-known slogan “Sopra Tutti Siamo Noi” which means: “We are above all others”. Everybody knows that the Peerless Empire has a bright future ahead.

What a glorious day for the empire!

5. Ages of Night (Dark Ages)

The time has passed by and like all empires also this one had to come to an end and the civilization entered into darker times. Divided and hungry for power they started fighting between themselves. This enable the raise of dark knights, who showed no mercy to anyone that opposed them. The dark knights knew no honor and they enslave the people who didn’t want to fight for them.

Among all, one was the most terrifying: Tarold the Terrible. His armies raided the whole land, burning and destroying everything in their way. The methods of torture that his men used had no limits and there were even rumors that he was drinking the blood of his enemies.

In this dark times no one had even thought to search for the lost Sacred Star which maybe could have protected them from this atrocities. Beyond this ages of the night, would they ever find the way back into the light?

6. The Devotions of Brother Caleb (Monastic Age)

„When you are lost, raise your face towards the sky and you will find guidance from above”

In this period of darkness even a smallest drop of light can put seeds of hope in the people hearts. Brother Caleb was enslaved like all the others but he tried to make the people remember the stories of the old civilization and the prophecies about the rebirth of it. He believes that there is something more than slavery and the cruel earth masters shouldn’t be the ones that humanity should bow to, but there is an out of this world spiritual master that it is from the kingdom of the skies. His name should be the one glorified and in his devotions he seek guidance from another world, a spiritual one. The Almighty’s glory should strengthens him and take care of all others that are suffering.

His teachings were spread quickly to the others who were now following his believes. The dark knights who were oppressing the people tried to discourage brother Caleb’s believes by torturing him and in the end they killed him. His sacrifice was not in vain, because the people started to fight against the oppressors and they succeeded to free themselves from slavery.

The echoes of brother Caleb devotions were for long times heard in the monasteries and altars which were welcoming and given shelter to everyone in needs. The freedom and peace lasted for a long period of time.

11. Dragons of Empire (Napoleonic Wars…with dragons) – Alexis Julemier

A civilization based on myths and legends had to have magical powers beyond our imagination, but after the destruction of Akrotiri a strange energy wave of magic have been cast. The magic affected a forest that was not far from the island. Strange things started going on there. Powerful things started to dominate the forest and to cover more and more land. The wave of magic had destroyed a very old magic seal in a far and old sanctuary formerly manage by Dragoners. The seal is now broken and the dragons are now free and will release their wrath on all they can find.

Finally the Dragoners tamed the dragons and used them to create an empire, which is now challenging supremacy of the world. Even if the citadels are well fortified it is impossible to defend from the air because they didn’t expect such attacks. The once proud citadels are now falling one by one against such undefeatable power. The skills of the Dragoners are best seen in the middle of the battle when their dragons are most damaging. The power of the dragons is unstoppable.

15. Splitting the Atom (Nuclear Age)

Technology is at its top: the automatons of previous ages got nuclear fission encapsulated, powerful mega guilds took over the civilizations structure and are demonstrating the vanity and illusion of a perfect society where every guild member from lowest to highest rank has its place. The magical world seems to be buried under tons of concrete and machinery. Only those who does not seem to fit the ideal weave of society are pulled out in secrecy and closed into secret punishment and experimental facilities, of which only whispered and scary bedtime stories tell. Crime is an unknown notion, as crime itself is replaced by a level of unmovable boundaries of law, a rigid entrenched guild bureaucracy that leaves control in the few hands of the highest ranks and its intricate nano technological ways to remove unfitting instincts and thoughts from the few who still have them. Freedom of spirit is only for the ones who can afford it.

16. Fire and Water at the End of the World (Envrionmental/Societal Collapse) – Pal Zoltan Illes

The end of civilization is here: Fire and Water at the End of the World. Let the song remain as a memento of our self-destructive clown figures.

The civilization that started on the island of Akrotiri millenniums ago, couldn’t escape the apocalypse predicted in the ancient prophecies. The total destruction of the world took 6:06 minutes. The motive of the global conflagration it was so insignificant that everybody forgot it. The final clash between the two most powerful sides on the planet reach the highest point with the nuclear warfare which results in a wave of nuclear explosions and fire over majority of the continents, and bringing forth a wave of tectonic movements that lets the power of oceans finish what the fire began.

There stands humanity, feeling like clowns of existence...

Just to make it clear: all the above stories can be modified but my suggestion is that if someone wants to contribute to the story to concentrate on the ones that are empty (under the title is nothing) and need your ideas.

Looking pretty awesome man! Hope this is still going ahead?

It's still ON! We're just a little behind, but it is still coming. Trust me, this is a project that I live for

OK, the problem with the story above is that no one wants to contribute to it and I don't want and I can't make the story all by myself. In my opinion we have to "externalized" a little bit. If Lord Elrond don't mind I will ask on others communities for some help on behalf of Radio Rivendell. This is also a way to involve other people to this project and to Radio Rivendell.

Updated 12 April 2016 (00:32)

Indeed, try recruiting, maybe someone will want to join to help out with it? The community must come together to help finish this awesome project, it's a good idea to seek other communities but having them join here would benefit Radio Rivendell too.

Yeah, ask around! I think it will be a little struggle to get the ball rolling, but as soon as we are finished I think it will start rolling more easily. I hope and think

Nah it's not hard to get the ball rolling, it's already rolling pretty well having some of the tracks already locked in my box of magicalness! I've been working on getting my new laptop to sound right, hopefully it's sounding as good or better than my last one, it certainly can do a lot more without exploding heh, so I'll be working on the Compilation Track again now, I'm off work the week after next so I'll have mine done by then, and then I'll be like a rabid dog chasing the others that are on the Comp. It will be done, my friend, it will... be done! Cheers man!

Excellent Conjurer!
