The Art Of War

"Then tell me this, what the hell are you?"
"I am you, with the flaws removed."
"Really, free will is a flaw?"
"Obsession and compulsion are much the same. Either way, we are niether of us our own master."

Where do you stand on the field of battle? Do you stand with a faction that believes magic to be the source of all knowlege and harnass it's power for the good of humanity in its entierity? Or the faction that believes magic is a sacred practice to be revelled in only by Elves? In this story of war and death, hate and mistrust a single glimmer of hope and all that is just illuminates the beacon that will end all conflict. This is a story not only of the war that consumed a world, but of the two souls who gave up everything to end it all. Cloud Strife. A young soldier who is in servitude of the faction who is opposing the Elves and Lenne a beautiful and gifted Summoner who has been enslaved by the Elves and is being slowly drained of her power to feed their greed. Cloud is just one of the troops who are led into the strong hold in which the Summoner is being kept. Their objective was to save the young Summoner and sever the Elves ties to her arcane power. Led by an Elven battle maiden, Y'bberet, they must storm the castle and save her, but many obstacles obscure their way and Lenne's energy is depleting.

So...Where do you stand on the field of war?

I had the most fun making this...I mean realleh. I have been wanting to do a Lord of The Rings - World of Warcraft - Lineage-y type of vid for about a year now. Alas, my editing prowess was a little...under-developed for such a project to I refrained. So now, that I am finally competent with my ability I decided the time was ripe to stop sitting on this idea. Now the politics that surround this vid are simple, everyone is fighting for control of magic, which - in this universe - is very precious. The Dark Elves are very prejudiced against humans and don't feel that they should be allowed such grand abilities, they are a little more symptathetic towards Light Elves, simply because they are Elves. Light Elves are more neutural and are more or less the middle men. Some Light Elves believe that humans should be privvy to their arcane practices while other do not. Humans in this world are what you would call the underdogs and are simply looking for a way to enhance their way of life, by way of magic. However, they are a young race and are considered unworthy. But as any MMORPG-er will know, every human is very tenacious and will fight tooth and nail for something they believe in...Or if they simply want something xD Phewww, well that's enough from me...Sorry to spoon feed you guys all this info I just realleh wanted to explain the backstory to this vid and the characters, factions and politics that inhabit it.
Oh yes, and the conversation between the Dark Elf and Y'bberet, when the Dark Elf says "I am you, with all the flaws removed." She is referring to the racism that occurs between the two races, as they don't get along. She accepts that they are the same species but she is basically saying that she is of a higher calling. And Y'berret's line about free will is referring to the fact that Dark Elves are born into a very cult-like habitat and are not actually allowed to converse with humans and mostly keep to themselves.
