The Amazon Isle
of Wants and Desires
How did we come to this Isle?
Throughout history, a legend has been passed down from one generation to the next. A legend that fulfilled a prophecy spoken into the darkness long before mortals were believed to exist. That one day, a Warrior Race would rise up from a sea of red to begin an eternal battle against the evils of the Known Realms……………
Nearing complete annihilation, a single tribe from the Amazon Nation boldly took up battle against the Ancient Immortals and their growing number of mercenary armies. Though resources were scarce, the Amazon Warriors continued to grow in number as other tribes were offered death or allegiance to their Quest. As their numbers grew, alliances were slowly forged across the battlefields in the promise of peace, once all mortals regained the power to control their own destinies. The threat of retribution from the Gods was beginning to weaken, as the word quickly spread that the leader of the Rebel army was an immortal herself.
Uncertain of the full power the Amazon's now wielded over other mortals; Ares, the Greek God of War, sought allies amongst the local villagers in order to wipe the Tribe out. It was only then that he began to grasp the danger a single mortal could pose if he or she chose not to worship the Gods. Somehow his own sister, Cyan, had slowly begun to ignite a very dangerous hope amongst the mortals, one they were now willing to die for.
With no other choice, Ares and the Gods of several lands sought an alliance with twelve of the most feared warlords within all the Realms. The promise of immortality and treasures were more than enough to raise the countless armies they would need to wipe the Amazons out.
The battles in the days to come were some of the worst ever to be waged. The lands were stained a deep red as far as the eyes could see, with bodies littering the countryside. The Amazons had little hope of survival and their immortal Queen watched as friend and ally alike continued to fall.
In a last effort to ensure the lives of her remaining warriors, Cyan led the Quest through the mountains and down to the shores of the ocean. The remaining Amazons quickly began to gather supplies, and with the help of the local villagers, secured 4 boats for the remainder of their once invincible army. Queen Cyan rode west towards the Cliffs of Poseidon with Princess Vicky. It is unsure if this had always been her plan, or exactly what was agreed to between Poseidon and his daughter; but the Amazons were granted safe passage out of Greece.
Cyan led the boats towards an Island known only as the "Ring of Death"; named appropriately for the massive reef that surrounded it and offered no safe passage, regardless of the boat. The Queen however sailed to the far side of the Island, leading her fleet towards a massive cliff and waterfall. On the Princesses' lead, the first boat sailed swiftly behind the waterfall and into a giant "ocean pool" on the other side. Each of the remaining three boats did the same.
Some parts of the Legend say that it was not Poseidon at all that revealed the entrance to the Queen, but rather her mother, Vorpax, a known Immortal from another Realm. It is also believed that this Island sits at the very center of all Realms, acting as a secured gateway to all parallel worlds. If this is the case, than Queen Cyan and her AmazonQuest now have the power to finish their war……..
What is Our Destiny?
The Amazons quickly transformed the Island into a fortress against all attacks and outsiders. It was here that they begin to re-build all of what had been destroyed during the war with the Gods; and explore the Legendary "Ring of Death". After many months, hundreds of caves were found running throughout the core under streams and rivers of the Island. In these caves were crystals of all sizes and colors. Each had magical powers and properties; and through time, the Amazons learned to control their powers. Gifts and virtues such as healing; shape-shifting; languages; wisdom; etc… were all within the grasp of the Quest.
These crystals would now allow the Amazons to do battle against the Gods and all others that would stand in opposition to controlling one's own destiny. The Quest however were not just destined for this "Realm"; but instead became the Key to Uniting all Realms. The combination of certain crystals allowed them to open "Portals of Time and Place" to anywhere in the Parallel worlds and with it the responsibility to bring their battle to other Realms. From early childhood on, all warriors are taught the powers of the crystals; and their Destiny as a Tribe.
Island Life.....
The Island Life is still somewhat of a mystery to all people, in all Realms. With the Powers of the Crystals controlled solely by the Quest, no immortal or mortal has even been allowed to leave the Island once they have been there. There are Legends though…..Word of mouth stories past through the Realms, of a Tribe able to control both Destiny and Time. Many have sought to find this "Isle of Wants and Desires"; and some have been said to find it.
We do know however, that the Amazons kept their word to the local villagers who helped them in their escape. They have continued to wage war with the Ancient Gods, and warlords, to insure that all mortals will have the right to control their own Destiny. In turn, the mortals of the Known World Realm have kept the secrets of the Amazon Nation; but have never stopped spreading the Legends. It is even said that the Queen and Princess themselves, along with vast armies, will often visit the mortal villages across the countryside, never forgetting their quest.
Legends of The Isle of Wants and Desires.....
Access to the Island can only be obtained through an unknown mark, given by the Queen herself. Only those baring the mark of the Royal Warrior will ever gain safe passage to the Island and be allowed to pass the unknown creature that legend calls "The Silence of Death". The mark itself is never visible to any but the Queen, and directly links the barer to the Island.
Over the years, the warriors have had to travel to numerous Realms, times and places. As such, their Island has grown. It now contains a full Fitness & Aquatics Center, with extensive training and combat equipment; along with brand new clay tennis courts. The Island also contains "Natural Hot Springs" which offer the Power of both Healing and Immortality for any warrior as long as they remain on the Island.
The Amazon Academy provides full schooling and training for all inhabitants of the Island until the age of 45 (not a long time since you are immortal while on-Island). Each Amazon is fully trained in all styles of combat; languages; and weapons use. The Academy also offers various forms of Dance Discovery (the Queen felt the Ancient ritual dances could be improved upon greatly with some work and rhythm).
There is also a full range of Audio and Visual technology and entertainment centers. Satellite TV hook-up; Inter-Realm-Net access; and e-mail are just some of the basics. The Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is continually under expansion with each new Realm Travel. All warriors are enrolled in advanced technology and weapons classes before any and all Realm travels. (Please contact Larc if you require information about available classes).
And, last but not least……..Even though this Amazon Tribe wages battles throughout the Realms of Time & Space for the sake of all mortals……they are not only a KICK-A** Tribe, but one that knows how to have a lot of fun!
