GOTHAR OF THE HILL PEOPLE
This here history was looked by great bard Aytayla. She correct many stupid mistakes and made story much clearer. Me thanks lady Aytalya." Gothar.
The History of the Hill People
by Gothar of the Hill People
Ah the days and nights pass by fast! Me have finally persuaded me servant Son of Kookaracha to tell the story of hill people in preety talk. He be outcast of clothman. He always grumpy and he no like me much. But finally he agree to write short history of hill people.
Hill People – Nomads of Ispar
I am Gothar of the Hill People! How I loved my home Ispar! I spent many a good year there until the gods decided for me to go to another world. My people and me lived in the Northern Snow mountains of Ispar. Our resourceful and strong tribe were spread out over countless miles of the mountain range. Our spread out bands would flourish in the harsh environment of the northern mountains. Sometimes we would meet other bands from our tribes. We would have great feasts then. . But we would always part to continue our wandering ways. The hill people were great hunters. We had club stick warriors, bow fighters and even the rare, honorable and wise shamen. We always heard stories of clothmen and their grandiose cities and inventions. But we did not pay them no mind. The clothmen never ventured in the northern mountains anyway. Our close knit tribe was content with living our simple life. In our long oral history there has not been a single hill person who left the tribe to other lands.
This all changed not too long ago…
The Great Storm and the Purple Portal.
Then came the fateful day of the great storm. Us hill people always encounter snow storms but they cause us minimal trouble because we can always find adequate shelter to weather the storm. But oh my. This was the Great Storm. The Great Storm was something we have never encountered before. Later on I would find out that this storm encompassed ALL the northern mountains. Our hill people were swept up, many died, and all of us were separated.
On the first night of this disaster, I found a purple swirl… Seeing that nothing more can be lost I stepped inside.
The Dark World.
I ended up in a world of evil men and exotic monsters. I was sent to the blue stone many a time my first day in this nightmarish world. But I had to move on. I used my previous teachings from my tribal shaman Guntak to heal myself and make my weapons deadlier. I used a new weapon I found in the fields of this world. The crossbow helped me grow stronger everyday and to venture into lands where the evil clothmen could not follow me… There I used my fists and the crossbow to grow strong enough to resist the clothmen. I also now had possession of the skins of strong monsters that I used to make something to protect me. I could now run away from them though I could not yet harm them.
These were the times of hope.
Grimwell – The Wise One.
One day as I was hunting I came across an old man. This old man did not attack me. He did not make fun of the way I talked. Instead he took pity on me. He sat and talked long talks with me, tolerating my poor speech. He talked to me of this dark world and made many things clear. I know knew that not all clothmen are evil there are many who try to make this world better. The wise ones name was Grimwell. He was now my leader teaching me the ways of this world. Though Grimwell was old he was very powerful in magic. He wowed me with his ability to kill Large creatures. I know had a friend. I grew stronger during this time and now I could even defeat some clothmen that caused me trouble.
The Arrival of Bill…The Orgy of Death
Just as I suspected that I would never see my people Bill of the hill people found the purple portal. He brought with him thousands of hill people from the ravaged mountains of Ispar. I was overjoyed. Little did know that a great evil has surfaced…
Bill and his many people started fighting with the evil clothmen right at the exit of the portal! Although very weak and untrained in this land they succeeded in killing a many evil clothmen due to their sheer numbers. I soon realized though… The great storm has changed the hill people.
No longer were the hill people a united peaceful tribe. The Great storm had destroyed and killed many a hill person and the only ones left were young men. Many of these young men grew mad out of the many misfortunes and lack of teaching. Many of them were now cannibals, craving for the flesh of the clothmen. Bill was the head of this evil.
But there was a light in all this darkness… Two wise shamen survived the storm and now were in the Dark World. One was Shaman of the hill ppl. Another was Shaman of hill people. I have heard rumors that they are long lost brothers. There was also Conan the librarian’, a great and strong warrior wielding the Axe of the mighty lugian. Many other good hill people survived, Tog, Raize, Rog and others.
Finally Bill initiated what was to be the curse of the hill people. Bill made the orgy of death. Bill and his cannibal people went from town to town eating both evil and good clothmen. Many a young hill people died due to Bills Orgy of Death. Now every single clothman wanted dead hill people. The already hard life of hill people got harder.
One day Bill finally died. But the damage was already done. Both shamans, grieving the death of so many young hill people, found their ways back to the now wasted lands of the northern mountains of Ispar.
Gothar was alone again…
The Dark Days…
Then came the dark days. Though I grew strong and continued hunting, I was sad about the death of the hill people. I know knew the art of the axe. I went hunting and fighting evil clothmen with me leader Grimwell. Me suffered many defeats then…
The New Hope
The last 7 days and nights I have found the shaman of hill people again. He is strong and well and he is now training. Conan is back too. A young hill people warrior has also joined the ranks. His name is Cash Grill of the Hill. From his many days in the dark world, Cash has acquired a love for money and shiny things. His love for money pales to his swordsmanship ability. Though young and inexperienced he is able to dish out as much damage as me. There is also Boris the Spider. I do not know much about him. We still search for Shaman of hill ppl in hopes of finding him.
Though the hill people still experience much trouble we have finally had victories and our rebirth is apparent.
Carebear: Me no like
carebears for many reasons. One reason be that they greedier than average darktider. They
be also be only interested in amassing much useless crap which they sell. They be also of
very weak character. This image be of carebear extraordinaire Vortigan of Frostfell. The
very first time me saw this one was in Lugian Citadel dungeon. Me was initially surprised
by carebear’s boldness in showcasing his carebear pride in the form of his name.
Usually former carebears look down and feel shame of their previous carebear lives. They
either deny they ever were carebear or they vehemently preach against the evil which is
carebear. Me was very inclined to attack this one even though he be of higher level than
me. Me changed me mind when me reconsidered me moral thoughts. Me then continued to kill
and die to lugians. When me died 3rd time me was surprised to receive message
from this carebear blatantly mocking me death! Me promptly told carebear to shut mouth.
This was not effective because he start saying how he big because he one level higher than
me. Me didn’t want to deal with such stupidity so me ignored him. Second time me see
him was in Melville (AB). This was at time when Melville was getting very ripe as town of
cowards and neutrals. This be shame I think. When Mel Anoma find and transport first
people to Melville he was not planning this to be town of cowards! He wanted town to at
least be effective defensive fronts for Baishi and Uziz. Oh, here be funny story. One time
silly clothman get pked in Baishi and end up back at Melville lifestone. He scream
“PK PK PK!!!”. When he do that all the cowards at the lifestone thought Melville
was under attack and ran into the Baishi portal, right in to the arms of the Baishi
raiding force. Pitiful cowards. Ok me continue on. Me come back to Melville after lugian
hunt to sell little loot. First thing me usually do is jump up on tent and do buff in case
of attack. While me was buffing me hear that “Blistered by Vortigan of
Frostfell’s lightning Pluto dies!” Me was very surprised! Maybe me was very
wrong? If carebear can kill enemy maybe they not so bad after all! Well me jokingly tell
this carebear that “at least carebear good for something…” Carebear either
too stupid or too touchy because he sure get angry. Me hope for the eventual demise of all
carebears.
Deception: This image be
taken when concealment of one’s level was finally possible if one failed to assess
you. This silly clothman mistakenly thought that all hill people be small so he take swipe
at Gothar even when he not know what Gothar’s level is. Me could have exterminated
this Itchy one but me let him go.
Frenchie: Above image be
one of the earliest victories for Gothar and Hill people. Me servant Sim Sim was
peacefully appraising treasure that me get from previous hunt when two hooligans attack
her. She try to log off very fast but to no avail the biggest of the two struck her down
with arrow. Luckily me went to sleep not to far from where Sim Sim was and me ambushed
them two bad ones very well. Me took out lightning axe and first drove the weakest one who
was probably around 15 level like me then went for big fish! This French by Kaanaky was
level 23 and me destroyed him decisively. Me even got to chase him for little while when
he start to panic. What fun. Conan the Librarian came by towards end to give moral support
so that be real good! It great to know that Sim Sim be avenged. Look at Conan’s big
great axe!
Funny: Me just thought this
here image funny.
Red Axe: Red Axe! Oh the
pride I had when me finally received the great big axe! Many a day did it take to finally
construct big red axe. Grimwell help me much with his vast knowledge of Red Axe. Here be
me good friends Child, Grim and Arkalius Bladen who help with trek to Red Axe! Al be not
in picture because he had to hurry somewhere.
3Hill: Here be image of
Cash, me and Lowthar! Us be presenting arms in ceremonial clothing. Lowthar be very
independent hill. He also most likely has highest level of any hill! Last time me heard
Lowthar be 42nd level. Who say the hill no know how to level? Although Lowthar
declined to be part of new unification of the hill (he have other plans) he many times
adventured with me and cash. Though Lowthar was not in world at times when me and Cash
battled evil, me is quite sure he would have presented as great ally. Some say Gothar be
ripoff of Lowthar. Some say Lowthar be ripoff of Gothar. Neither be true.
Silly Hat: Look at this
silly hat! How can one be deceptive when one wears such an ugly green hat! Me had long
laugh as I posed with silly hat in the middle of Shoushi. Some asshole clothman finally
grab it from me after he kill me. Me did not shed too many tears for hat.
Victory: Me can safely say
this was highest level bad clothman the hill ever killed to that point in time. Who be
knowing… maybe even until today. Story start off in Lugian Citadel as always. Bad
Loch and his bad vassal Xonin attack Citadel. Since me like to be fully buffed and
prepared before me make me kamikaze attack on higher levels me make swift recall. Arrogant
Xonin who be 25 levels higher than me tell me to come back and fight. Me pretend me big
coward and tell him that me really scared of big Loch and big Xonin. This of course be lie
but me no want Xonin to know that me be making counter attack into Lugian Citadel in a
minute. He tell me “ok gay”. After me buff meself in Melville (AB), I futilely
cry out “who want to come and die gloriously with Gothar?”. Me about to recall
back to Citadel when believe it or not Moonglum say he join me in battle! Let me make
statement that of ALL the times me called out for the people of Melville to join me in
battle this be the ONLY time some one who not coward answered back. Me not know how things
change in 3 months that I was gone but me preety sure the situation be not better.
Moonglum and me prepare ourselves at count of 3 and portal recall to Citadel! Us find
Xonin immediately and attack bad one. He surprised but he kill Moonglum almost instantly
with his evil drains. But me continue to hack at Xonin with big red axe and he die! Oooh
what glory! Moonglum’s death be very much not in vain for he get nice little ring
which me take away from corpse. Xonin be very angry that he die so he say bad words to me.
Xonin was level 51 that time so victory was big. This be showing glorious and honorable
kamikaze attacks not always fruitless. Me know that for sure.
Og: This be one of me
encounters with legendary Og. Og have significant history with the hill people. When
Bill’s hill people arrived Og took pity on them and gave much mullah, pointy sticks,
twang sticks, and other weapons. His savage brain admired our simple and natural plight so
he no attack us. It can be said the hill people be the only ones Og has never harmed. He
was sure ally of the hill at that time. Long time passed by between the Orgy of Death and
this encounter between me and Og. Me decided to battle Og for two reasons at that time.
One reason be is that Og was attacking Baishi. Baishi be very respectable town controlled
by honorable clothmen and me was not about to let Og cause trouble there. Another reason
was that me was eager to engage combat with the legendary Og and see how me do. In the
image Og seems to be running away like coward but this not the case. You see Og smart. Og
be luring me and someone else so no others will see us battling. This way Og can win
battle and slip away like gorilla. This time Og almost came out victorious. Og stopped in
his tracks and preceded to attack me new find ally behind me while me hacked uselessly at
him. Me managed to get some hits on him but they were very shallow. When me stamina ran
out me used me magic skill to do the dirty and evil drain on Og (Yes, me admit… me
did the drain drain). This what turned the tide of battle and Og died while me ally had
only 1 hit point to spare. Og died very honorable death, he did not run away like other
cowards. Me and me ally were very happy that us killed Og, for to kill Og is great feat
indeed. Me encountered Og another time in Lugian Citadel. This time Og spoke to me in
head. Og tell me that Hill people and Og brothers. He say to not attack Og. It is known by
all that Og almost NEVER utter word. This time Og did. And when Og speak, he mean it.
After that me never attack Og even whem me once saw him listlessly standing in the fields.
Sith: This be image of me
and good old Sith of the hill people. Sith was in dark world for very short time but he
stood out from the rest of the hill in that he used bow. Me sad to know that Sith went
away so fast but what can one do.
Xbow: Here be good example
of Asshole clothman. Me, Cash and setanta were doing the hunt in Stonehold dungeon when
some clothman found preety crossbow. He no like it so he say “who want it?”. Me
say “ Me want it! Me want it!”. He no give it to me and he say me ripoff
Lowthar! Well Setanta got it and he give it to me. So there! Me get good crossbow
eventhough Emerald Axe asshole. Me hope he had many future misfortunes after this event.
Me thank Setanta for great crossbow!
Setanta: This be here image of me, Setanta, and Cash Grill of the Hill. The mighty and kind Setanta came to help get rid of Cash’s big vitae, which Cash suffered in the Stonehold dungeon. Setanta helped us in record time and good Cash was ready for battle in 5 minutes flat. This be us in battle position.
