War: a contest.

Makarios

We're currently working upon the war proposal from the other thread, and one of the small flavour powers will be to gain access to a war specific deathsight (think similar to divine order's crusade one). We were originally going to come up with them ourselves, but it occured to us that we could run a contest to pick the best ones instead.

So:
- No more than 3 deathsights per org per person.
- You can post for cities your character isn't a member of.
- 200 credits per winning entry.

We'll run this for the next week!

Archaeon

I'm guessing post them here?

Rackham

Gunna jump the gun and throw this here while I'm inspired! No way I'll be able to come up with three though.

Earning (his|her) seat as a (Lord|Lady) of the Court, KILLER ushers KILEE towards their entropic demise.

Makarios

Ah, yes, post them here!

Suggestions for:

Targossas:
> The clouds part as a ray of light graces KILLER's exuberant form, standing over the fallen KILLEE.

Ashtan:
> Discordant, shrill cries escape the withering lips of KILLEE, before KILLER rends them silent.

Cyrene:
> Bestowing an honourable demise, KILLER conquers KILLEE with knightly accord.

Eleusis:
> The Ithmia blossoms as KILLER bestows a new feast unto its soil, in the form of fallen KILLEE.

Hashan:
> Sourceless commendations sound from the dark as KILLER unites KILLEE with the cold, hard ground.

Mhaldor:
> Barely given a chance to cool, KILLEE's corpse is ingested by foul bloodworms at the behest of KILLER.

Shirszae

Cyrene

The icy currents of Shuun'eludiela whisper the notes of $victim's death, drowned beneath the lashing storm of $killer's cold fury.

Amidst flourishes of song and revelry troubadours sing a tale of war and woe, of $Killer, champion of the valley's starry walls, and the felling of $victim, Cyrene's foe.

Excited giggles and childish horseplay follow a gaggle of children as they run along the length of Ministrickle Road, re-enacting the battle where $killer had slain a would-be invader.

Kroac

Hashan:

1. Deciding that they are an impediment to the Progress of the Shadow Court, $killer has removed the obstacle that was $victim.

2. Another tally mark is added to the belt of Progress as $killer ends the life of $victim.

Jurixe

I chose to take the more cinematic approach by asking "if I were an uninvolved bystander with news that two cities were at war, how would I know who was winning?" So I decided that they had to be deathsights that could feasibly be seen worldwide (even though I know there are many deathsight messages that don't really fit this description).

Mhaldor gets an extra because I can't choose.

Mhaldor:

An ominous crimson miasma casts a bloody pall over the area as $killer brutally exterminates $person, exposing the truth of their weakness.

An ominous crimson miasma stains the firmament bloody as $killer brutally exterminates $person, deeming him|her unworthy of a place in Evil's dominion.

Targossas:

White-hot flame blazes heavenwards in incandescent rapture as $killer mercilessly executes the Bloodsworn's judgment upon $person. 

Cyrene:

The strident anthem of victory reverberates throughout the world as $person crumbles before $killer's indomitable Vashnarian courage.

Hashan: 

Silken susurrations carry $killer's name upon the wind, whispering the tale of his|her mastery over $person in the name of Progress.

Ashtan:

Sizzling spears of lightning streak towards the ground as $killer obliterates $person from Creation, a crackling tribute to the inevitability of Chaos.

Eleusis:

Predators across the realm erupt in primal exultation as $killer completes his hunt, savagely unleashing the full wrath of Nature upon $person.

Micaelis

Some things I think would be cool that reflect war and location specifically.

Targossas: 

1) A chorus of cheers ripple across Blackstone Isle as the Faithful laud $Killer's victory over $Scrub.

2) Cries of triumph ring out from Blackstone Isle, commemorating $Scrub's demise at the hands of $Killer.

3) The banks of the Silverveil River churn as the Isles of Targossas reverberate with the warcries of the Faithful, celebrating $Killer's victory over $Scrub.

Veldrin

For group kills
A group of <faction> has mobbed <target>  to death, with <killer> landing the final blow.

Example:
A group of Targossians has mobbed Proficy to death, with Ismay landing the final blow.

One on one kills
The <faction> <killer> has slain the <faction2> <target> in single combat.

Example:
The Mhaldorian Proficy has slain the Hashani Mezghar in single combat.


Applicable for all factions

[Deleted User]

Furthering the Dominion of the Infernal Throne over the Prime, $Killer crushes $Killee beneath his|her fealty to the Imperator's Wheel.

Continuing the traditions of the Imperator's Court, $Killer devours the existence of $Killee for the glory of Chaos.

Culling Creation's ordered existence, $Killer brutally casts aside $Killee, manifesting the inevitability of Chaos' Dominion.

I really enjoyed @Micaelis' location-specific ones, so here's one more in that vein:

Creation shatters as lava erupts across the scorched isle of Ashtan in tumultuous response to $Killer's triumph over $Killee.

Axios2

Oops, I was going to write them one at a time but I can't edit for that long. I'll post again, sorry! 

Farrah

Hashan:

Shadows enshroud the scene of Aegoth's demise, the source of his fate unknown.

Ryssa

Cyrene

The white drakes of the mountains roar with approval as <killer> eliminates <killee> as a threat to the Vashnars.

The icy mountain air steals away <killee’s> final breath as <he|she> falls in battle, <killer> dashing away to continue the fight for <her|his> City.

With indignant rage, <killer> executes <killee> for bringing war to <his|her> mountain home.

Astarod

Targossas
======
Holy Flames encase the carcass of the heretic, KILLEE, leaving naught but cinders at the behest of KILLER.

As an act of a Warden of Creation, KILLER conducts the final deliverance of KILLEE.

Cheers erupt from Silverbright Square as it is heralded to the Dawnspear that KILLER, the ARMYRANK, has vanquished KILLEE, the ARMYRANK. 

Taryius

ELEUSIS

(Spring|Summer|Winter|Autumn) winds whistle through the forests of Sapience as $KILLER lays $KILLEE's corpse to rest in nature's embrace.

-Changes based on the current IG season.

ASHTAN

A whispered invocation to <CHAOS LORD> escapes $KILLER's lips, as he brings $KILLEE's life to an abrupt conclusion.

Whispering an invocation to <CHAOS LORD>, $KILLEE brings $KILLEE's life to an abrupt conclusion in service to the Court.

-Idea being that the Chaos Lord would be randomly selected from the known pantheon of Chaos Lords, and therefor different every deathsight. For example it could be an invocation to Dameron, or maybe Lycantha or Palpatar, etc etc. How chaotic!-

CYRENE

Crystalline waters spew skyward from the Unending Spring, an aqueous salute to $KILLER's triumph over $KILLEE.

Asmodron

For these kinds of deathsights, as they pertain specifically to declarations of war, I feel they should be based on such in order to standout in the spam of deaths.

We already have statutes that have some pretty great patriotic elements, as well as -many- a flashy deathsight, so I went more with ones based on the idea of wartime.

Ashtan:

Paving the way for the Chaos Court, <killer> has eliminated <victim> in the Seat of Chaos' grim vision for Sapience.

Hashan:

Declared a hindrance to the advancing forces of Progress, <victim> has been dispensed by <killer> per the Shadow Court's agenda.

Mhaldor:

The marshaled legions of Evil roar out the name of <killer> as he enacts the Fifth Truth upon <victim> on the battlefield.

Targossas:

Seeking to cleanse away the corrupt, <killer> has purged <victim> from existence in the crusade of the Dawnspear.

Eleusis:

By law of fang and claw, <victim>'s broken form lies before <killer> as Nature moves to reclaim the land.

Cyrene:

Charging valiantly to the fields, <killer> has brought low <victim> in order to eliminate any and all threats to the Heart of the Vashnars.

Achilles

Targossas:

Cheers are heard from the Dawnspear, as *killer* has eradicated *killee*, rebuilding Creation under the banners of Light, Righteousness and Good

Audible applause is heard from the Dawnspear, as they rejoice at the death of "killee" to "killer"
Hundreds of arrows are seen over the Dawnspear, as the bow-maidens of the Dawnspear salute the triumph of "killer" over "killee"

Ygia

Two additional for Targossas, since I only put one before:

> Children's glee sounds out across the Mirror Isles as a storyteller reenacts the battle where [KILLER] felled [KILLEE].

> Caliphan wets a quill with ink as he marks the victory of [KILLER] over [KILLEE] in the annals of Targossas' history.

Brythan

Targossas:

Uttering a prayer to the Bloodsworn with (his|her) victory, [Slayer] has removed [Slain] from the path of Creation's advancement.

I personally like almost all of those by @Jurixe as well as @Taryius' 'Fifth Truth' deathsights.

Archaeon

Targossas:

Dawnblade -

The legions of the Dawnblade advance, the boots of (killer) trampling the corpse of (killee) further into the mud and viscera.

Luminai - 

Truth has borne the weaknesses of (killee), as the Luminai subdue another target.


Harbingers - 

The censer of (killer) swings over the corpse of (killee), billowing holy smoke as the zealous prayers of the Harbingers chant praises to the strength of the Dawnspear.

Targossas in general

The piercing Light has revealed the Truth of (killee)'s folly, as (killer) strikes (him/her) down with Righteous fervor.

Vakvyr

Cyrene:

Slayer has proven to Slain that he|she is merely another obstacle that the Heart of the Vashnars can and will overcome.

Slain crumples under the mountainous resolve of Slayer and the Heart of the Vashnars.

If Slain is fortunate the artists of the Heart of the Vashnars will record his|her name in their works dedicated to the triumphs of Slayer.

joke:
Slain should have taken the hint when Slayer gave their speech on the merits of extreme xenophobia.

Archaeon

Cyrene: 

Vakvyr resumes his novel after being rudely interrupted by Archaeon's ill fated assault.

Archaeon

Mhaldor:

Taryius has viciously pummeled Archaeon into submission before the Lord.

Archaeon

Hashan: 

Her hypothesis proving correct, Farrah has proven scientifically that she is the better of Archaeon.
