Title: Ceragem photostory: a night of shadows
Post by: Wolf Knight on January 18, 2012, 16:30:28
Jade City... Ceragem's capital... early hours of the night...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03902.jpg)

Two men stand guard outside the old northeastern tower ruin...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03867.jpg)
''Chilly night mate''
''Yeah, good thing nothing ever happens here..''
''Oh but they expect trouble soon. As of tomorrow, six of us will be guarding this back door here...''
''Where did you learned that?''
''Heard the captain saying so to the sergeant..''
''Why so?''
'' Cause... hold on, heard that?''

(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03868.jpg)
''Who goes there?''
''Relax men, I've been send to check on you''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03869.jpg)
''You? A renegade Red Hawk captain?''
''A renegate only his house, not you boy.''
''Where's the City Guard captain?''
''He wont be able to... perform his duties tonight.....''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03870.jpg)
The attack came from behind, one of the guards struck down, while the other one, neglecting what he had in front of him, turned to face what was at his back...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03871.jpg)
...and that was his downfall, as the renegade Red Hawk captain drew his sword and attacked him on the back...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03872.jpg)
''Nice work...now, to let the others in...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03873.jpg)
''Welcome to Jade City'' said the captain to the men who came out of the tunnel...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03874.jpg)
A brief session was held, everybody reviewed what they had to do...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03875.jpg)
''Most of the City Guard's been taken care of by my Red Hawks'' said the captain, ''only thing remain are the Gate Guard and the Gatemaster...''
''What about the palace?''
''My men are storming the palace as we speak...''

Dujek, the king's brother, had call for a meeting of the Lords that night. He was told to expect the king the following morning with the rest of their allies and that the Lords were to be briefed in the future course of action so that the kingdom could be secured from another ill attempt of the Duke...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03793.jpg)
''I told you before, we have no intel regarding the Duke's actions. We only know he got the defence plans of our city in his hands... access and entry points, defences, number of men at guard posts, everything... I've devised some changes but I need your cooperation to secure the city further''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03795.jpg)
''But we have a big army to protect us, why do you need our men drawn into the city guard? Call onto the army'' said one of the nobles.
''The army is spread out thin throughout the realm. General Lionheart feared of attacks throughout the kingdom, he wanted to make sure the countryside is secure''
''And because of that we have to give you access to all our men?''the noble persisted
''We must draw more men in the defence of the city'' said Dujek ''if we are attacked we won't be able to hold for long. I ask you bring your men to the City Guard at least until the army can send a sizable battalion back into the city''.
''Its a fair request'' said another lord ''you can count on my men!''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03797.jpg)
...''Look at them...'' thought Lord Blackhawk... he gave a small glance on his cousin at the other end of his side of the table ''fighting over petty feuds...they had this coming for some time... and you, my dear cousin, will always wanted your way... well, you can keep your Gryphon... the Hawk will surely proveyour superior...''
His thoughts were interrupted when the door of the council chamber open wide and the Palace Guard outside was thrown wounded onto their feet... all turned to look in surprise..

Gatemaster had a long day... he did not even manage to update his log of this morning...although he was sleepy he had to finish this...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03876.jpg)
...when he was suddenly interrupted by two men who entered his room...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03877.jpg)
''What the..''
''No suddens move Gatekeeper... your books can wait for another time... you'll come with us, and you're gonna call the gate guards to come to you...''
''I will do no such thing...''
''You choose...but know that this blade been dried for a long time... its thirsty you see'' said one of them and pointed the tip of his obsidian sword onto his body...


At the same time, in the gate guard house the Red Dragons where swift with their task...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03878.jpg)
An army captain was there who gave them some difficult time...he turned on his attacker, but one of the Red dragons elite was ready to strike him back...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03879.jpg)
as one Red Dragon was coming down, the other stroke the captain on his arm...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03880.jpg)
..the captain now pinned down heard one of them say: ''Now you come with us, you can help us instead of causing us trouble''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03881.jpg)

The council chamber doors opened wide and the Red Hawks stormed the room...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03799.jpg)
Some of the Lords drew their swords and it was clear now the Lord Blackhawk was playing them the whole time...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03800.jpg)
As the Guards inside the room left the side of Dujek to aid the Lords, he appeared again...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03801.jpg)
''Everybody stand still'' yelled Blackhawk '' and came next to Baaljak who was holding the prince at tip's point..
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03802.jpg)
He looked at the prince for a few moments and said... ''You've been prince for a long time... Don't you want to be king?''
''Lord Blackhawk!'' a voice was heard coming from the door ''this is a good question... but I think it should be answered another time...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03804.jpg)

The Gatemaster closed in on the gate... he was made to believe that someone was still pointing at him...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03882.jpg)
But he found courage to say ''They are coming through the door.'' The guards looked at him with a strange look  and then they saw their opponents...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03883.jpg)
One of the Red Dragons went for the Gatemaster shouting ''We told you someone was pointing at you'', while another went for the other guard...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03884.jpg)
.. who did not hesitate to fight back...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03885.jpg)
..but who was also overcome by the numbers of his opponents...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03886.jpg)
One of the Elite Red Dragon asked the other ''And now we wait for the others?'' ''Yes my brother'' said the other..

Back to the palace...

The Queen's chambers...

(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03823.jpg)
A little leasure time with her ladies in waiting...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03825.jpg)
Suddenly the captain of her bodyguard burst into the room crying ''Quick your Majesty get behind us''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03826.jpg)
The Red Hawks invaded the chamber and the bodyguards did all they could do to stop them...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03828.jpg)
...the Queen approached the captain...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03829.jpg)
...''Please captain, surrender, I am sure I can persuade them to stop...no more of your men need to get hurt''
''But Majesty...''
''Do it captain!!''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03830.jpg)
The captain threw down his sword, as did another bodyguard... but it was already too late for one of them...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03831.jpg)
''What is the meaning of this?'' asked the queen.
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03832.jpg)
''You will stay in your room Majesty'', said a Red Hawk captain, ''unless you are told otherwise.''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03833.jpg)
''What are you saying?... That..''
''That you will remain here until further notice... These men will guard you.''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03835.jpg)
...and the Red Hawk captain left the room...
Title: Re: Ceragem photostory: a night of shadows

In the council chamber...

The Duke came to the head of the table...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03805.jpg)
...without looking at Dujek he said ''Take this one to the dungeon...'' and then turned to the lords ''Now you hear me...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03806.jpg)
''The king is fallen...''
''What?'' ''How? ''When?'' ''Oh my goodness!!'' Dujek grinded his teeth as he heard those words and as the Red Hawks was leading him off the room...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03807.jpg)
''Yes yes, very sad and all'' said the Duke, ''But now things are going to change around here. And you hear me well, go back to your estates and mansion unless you want me to lock you up... the Steward and the City Guard commander, these are the ones I really want from all of you, so the rest of you, out! Now!''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03809.jpg)
The two men left looking at each other with horror... was the king really gone? was the Duke toying with them?
''Now you listen... The king is gone and he is not coming back... but the army is still out there, and Lionheart will certainly assemble it...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03810.jpg)
''When he does you better leave the city Korbal'' said the Steward
''When he does, I hope he will consider the safety of the Queen...''
Their faces were now mixed with terror...
''Yes I have the Queen and unless you don't want her to be gone either, you still go around and perform your duties as I tell you to... make sure your men understand that... The Red Hawks were keen of eliminating the entire City Guard, made up from both your forces, but I persuade them to let them off easy as we will need you... So you better make it clear to your men...it's either my way, or the Queen's out of the way...''
A man entered the room...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03811.jpg)
''To make sure its my way, the Baron here will make sure you are doing as you're told... make no mistake... one tiny mistake and the Queen will find helself in a most unpleasant situation...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03812.jpg)
''Now go, assemble your men and tell them...''
As they were leaving, the Baron looked at them with a crooked smile...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03813.jpg)
''I like the way you think, cousin...'' and gave a nasty smile
''Yes, well, lets go see the queen, shall we?''

The gate was taken, but it also needed to be opened when the rest of the Duke's forces would arrive...
Two men stood guard over the drawbridge winch platform...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03888.jpg)
...when an army captain made his appearance in his attempt to evade his persecutors...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03889.jpg)
... he was not quick enough to warn the guards...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03890.jpg)
...as the Elite Red Dragon came onto his back, thus striking down the guard as well.
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03891.jpg)
The other guard managed to wound the other attacking Red Dragon...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03892.jpg)
...but the later was more successful in his hit...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03895.jpg)
''Now what?''
''You get down and inform them we can lower the bridge...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03896.jpg)

At the lower level...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03897.jpg)
''I see you were successfull'' said the Red Hawk captain
''We were also successfull'' said the knight coming down from the upper level...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03898.jpg)
''Good! Lets wait for the report from the Palace that all is clear, so we can give our friends outside the signal to approach''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03901.jpg)

The Queen's chamber...

The Duke entered the room... The Queen could not believe her eyes...
''What is the meaning of this Korbal? You return to torment our city?''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03836.jpg)
''No, your Majesty... I came to tell you that your husband is gone... I am sorry for your loss...''
''What? You are not serious! He'll be back in the morning.''
''No your Majesty..this is his ring... it is not?''
The Queen fell to her knees, her ladies in waiting wrap their arms around her...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03837.jpg)
''I'll keep that by the way'' said the Duke and placed the ring on his finger...
''Please feel comfortable Majesty,'' he went on as he turned his back and headed towards the door, ''you better stay in your chambers from now on... I'd hate to see you gone too''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03838.jpg)
The queen lost the earth under her feet, she could not believe any of these was happening...

Looking good, I feel sorry for the poor clickies that gave their lives defending the city.

Those fleur de lis and tower guards might have needed some swan help. (or a templar knight hidden on a cart.  ;) )

Great story and great poses for the clickies, only suggestion I would have for it would be to maybe mix up the hairstyles for guards a bit for variation.
Already looking forward to the next installment.  :)

Excellent story so far. I am rather disappointed that the castle guard did so badly, they didn't put up any decent fight at all.

Thank you guys! Glad you are enjoying it so far  :)

Can't wait for the rest! come on Panos! It's been over two hours already!

My, my!! Already too anxious to see what happens next  ;D...
Just came back but I'm not sure I'm up to finish this tonight, so bear with me...

Excellent story so far. I am rather disappointed that the castle guard did so badly, they didn't put up any decent fight at all.

The majority of the City Guard were already overrun by the Red Hawks. I think one of their captains said so...  :eh?: will recheck... Once that was done, the rest were easy to deal with.  ;)

Great story and great poses for the clickies, only suggestion I would have for it would be to maybe mix up the hairstyles for guards a bit for variation.

Thanks, good point. Although its not easy making 80 different hairstyles :-\ thats the total of fluer-de-lis and tower faction guards I have all together... oops giving away more info...

By the way,
The same hair could just mean its a popular style.
In fact, I wish a few of my people had more similar hair cuts.

Bravo Sir Wolf, for this greatly set up photostory and quality of your sets and pictures and dialogue, you are setting some exceptional standards that will be impossible for the rest of some of us to reach and your work is inspirational. look forward to the continuation of that story and i am very very pleased to see all that death and violence , finally medieval stories look realistic as it was all about death back then. I really like the aspect of determination of this uprise and take over power, the ceragem stories look like will shape a great deal the future of playmobil world ( map...)

And not the continuation...

Almost dawn... it was a long night, and the signal was given... soon the small valley in front of Jade's main gate was filled with the Duke's forces...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03903.jpg)

The remaining City Guards were left to watch helpless...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03904.jpg)
''Must inform someone...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03905.jpg)
''Who? Somebody would be here by now''
''Yeah, well, I'm not staying here... fight another day...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03906.jpg)
'''I'm gonna shoot...''
''Who? Everyone? Are you crazy?''
''Well, better do something!''
''Yes! Leave and fight another day... nobody showed up on our side, somethings wrong here... they just arrived and nobody from our side is showing up?''....
''We did not call anybody! How is it possible for someone to show up if you don't call them?''
''The drawbridge guard would have called somebody by now, so something is clearly wrong...''
'Whats that noise?''
''The drawbridge is coming down!?!?!?''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03908.jpg)
''What? How?''
''I think... lets get going...'' .... and the last guards left left their post to fight another day...
The Red Dragons, once they lowered the drawbridge, observed as General Aldaris was entering the city...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03907.jpg)
''Ah, good the general is here...'' said the Red Hawk captain
''So that's it...'' said the Red Hawk sergeant
''Remember Lord Blackhawk's orders...'' said the captain
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03909.jpg)
''Captain, the palace is secure! We have everyone rounded up'' said another Red Hawk sergeant.
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03910.jpg)
''Excellent!!'' replied the captain and turned to greet the general.
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03911.jpg)
''Welcome to Jade City, General Aldaris!'' the captain greet the general
''No losses on our side, you did a good work captain! I hate loosing my men...Send the Red Dragon steward to the palace and inform the Duke...''

The Queen was mourning in her chamber, her world was shattered, but she needed to find the strength and fight back...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03840.jpg)
''I am sorry for your loss, Majesty'' a calm voice was heard
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03841.jpg)
''You! You came to mock me Evilia? Came to enjoy my pain? Get out! Get out now!

''I am truly sorry Majesty, believe me, I feel your pain... if you need anything you know I have my way with my brother...''
''Get out!!!''

Evilia shut the door behind her... a small part of her was left behind with the queen, just as another one was left on the edges of that small forest the previous morning...

The throne room...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03814.jpg)
''Strange being here without him sitting on that throne...'' the Duke gave a slight smile.
''Baron have some men take this away and melt down... we can use the gold... Besides, its vainglorious to sit on a golden throne..''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03815.jpg)
''Sire, the Red Dragon steward is here... he brings a message from General Aldaris'' said one of the Duke's bodyguards.
''Let him in.''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03816.jpg)
''Ah, Steward! Great to have you with us!''
''The army is here Sir! We have the city! General Aldaris sends his regards!''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03817.jpg)
''Good, good!! See to the well being of our forces along with the rest of the dragon stewards eh?''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03818.jpg)
''Will do Sir! My loyalties lie with the Dragonians, will always take care of my kin.''
''Good good!!'' the Duke gave the Red Dragon steward a pat on the shoulder and send him off.''

''You feel already at home, Korbal!'' a deep grave voice echoed in the throne room...
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03820.jpg)
''Korabas! Welcome!'' said the Duke, and turned to his bodyguards ''Put your swords away, the Dragonian Lord is here to aid us''
''Funny how you put it Korbal.'' said Korabas... ''Just remember that I need my sister back and you better do as you agreed...''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03821.jpg)
Korabas vanished the way he appeared once he stepped out of the throne room...
''Will certainly do that..'' said the Duke in a low voice... ''Come! I want preparations for the Obsidian Throne to arrive and replace this gold one. Inform the rest to arrive and someone bring me Estos... more changes are in order around here..''
(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/fall%20of%20ceragem/DSC03822.jpg)
...and thus the night gave its place to the day that followed...

Next photostory on ceragem will soon be complete!!!

Thanks for reading everyone  :wave:

Some coat of arms you see throughout the photostory, the ones that are not mainstream playmobil coat of arms, like the ones on the queen's bodyguards, were designed by Arnaud Cowabougna! Thanks again Arnaud!

Outstanding story Sir Wolf, look forward to see and read more of it, as i said before exceptional standards in all this !!! Look forward to see what happens next to Ceragem, its dead king was after all a trusted ally and friend to Emperor Iseroth ....

Love it! Love it! Love it!
Love how Korabas Apparates and Disapparates, too! It's been a long time since we haven't had such a long photostory here and I enjoy every picture of it!
Thank you for advertising my work, BTW, you made a good job applying the transfers. It's just too bad we only see two of the Queen's bodyguards, since I believe, you have more of this faction...don't want to spoil anything for the others, so I won't say more... ;)

Wonderful Panos, your photos are excellent.  :clap: :clap: :clap:
I love the way the story has progressed.  :love:
I really felt sorry for the queen - the way you positioned the klickies made it so realistic.
