"Or poui figliuol, veder la corta buffa
d'i ben che son commessi a la fortuna,
per che l'umana gente si rabuffa"
"Now you can see, my son, how brief's the sport
of all those goods that are in fortunes care,
for which the tribe of men contend and brawl"
Dante Alighieri The Inferno Canto VII
Welcome to the Mountain of Greed's Ascent
Since the earliest of times; people have sought to gain subjacation of a great many of things.
Land, money, power, respect, others...
The one common thread is that gaining is never enough for some; there must always be more.
Greed is this motivation that makes even the most benevolent squander without regard or horde without care.
Much like the peak of this mountian before you, Greed builds a mountain in front of a peron. Endless they climb to attain the next desire of their heart, but it never reaches the summit. It is an eternal climb.
This mountian is much the same. Yes you may reach the peak if one were to climb straight, but what of the many caverns that lie along the way? What treasures or secrets do they hide?
Money?
The answer to gaining more power?
Maybe even the greatest of secrets; to become godlike.
The battlefield is laid out as such;
A wide mountain range, frought with all the dangers that occompany it. The feild below is small, as you will spend most of your time here exploring and battling across the many summits and peaks of this range.
But beware; there is more than just avalanches to fear.
Listen to the wind; do you not hear it speaking to you? Do you not hear it's call to climb higher, strike your opponent harder; seek out that boost of power you so long for?
Those voices are no illusion; they are real. And if you are not strong enough, they will guide your mind to fullfill those desires for more. Maybe at the cost of your own life. Do you want something so bad, you would risk everything for it? Or do you have the peace of mind to be content with what you have?
these voices; they are not just wind. In fact they are:
Beware warrior, for even the barvest have fallen prey to them. The will not attack you, nor will they even make their physical presence known to you.
They will search your heart for that void that no manner of things will ever be able to fill.
That flame in you that burns for more and more, and they will attempt to guide your heart to it.
Be strong of will and mind while battling here. Do not let your desire for more overwhelm you and lead you astray. Be content, do not be afraid.
You have been warned.
Please remember all forum and divisional rules apply in this battlefield. Have fun and be respectful.
