How and Why We Came To Be
How Priscilla was born into this world as a Dragon Crossbreed we do not know with clarity. What we do know is that Seath "The Scaleless" in his quest for knowledge, power in magic, and immortality went mad and performed insane experiments on many. Guilty or Innocent mattered not to him. Not even an offspring of the Royal House of Anor Londo was safe from his madness. The secret of Priscilla's origin has been kept hidden for generations and we still do not know the whole truth. But what we do know is that she is an innocent. Another example of Seaths' experimental tampering with the lives and souls of others with no regard for their humanity.
Her difference isolated her, kept her apart from so many around her. Even as a Royal she was not spared ridicule or ostracism. Surrounded by the sumptuousness of Royalty she grew in a barren world alone but for two and a Peculiar Doll who watched after her.
As any child would have a favorite toy Priscilla had a doll. A doll that over time became her only one true friend. Someone she could play with, share with as only children can. To her the doll became real. And because Priscilla was imbued with powers not even the Royals possessed. The doll also absorbed aspects of her power. But still, she was not alone entirely fore there were two who sought to keep her safe.
The Goddess Velka, "Goddess of Sin" and the painter Ariamis, a most unusually gifted artist knew her despair and the changes coming over The Royal House of Anor Londo. They decided to assure her safety and sanity and conspired to create the magic of "The Painted World of Ariamis".
To guard the portal to The Painted World of Ariamis, Knight Ciaran entrusted a loyal and highly trained contingent of those she commanded to take upon themselves and those who followed in a generational bond of loyal service to forever protect the Painted World and Priscilla. They became known as the Painted Guardians. And are as much apart of Her desire as are the Exiled of Ariamis.
All of Lordran was changing. Becoming something "other". A reflection of Gywns' and Seaths' madness and the Curse of the Undead. Velka, Goddess of the Darkmoon watched as the land fell to madness. One by one the they fell until finally her precious avengers were torn asunder and only but a few remained. At Velkas' bidding Priscilla had found refuge in the painting. Others, victims and exiles alike also found refuge in the Panited World. It is a "portal" to another place meant to remain safe from the madness. From Priscillas' heart she could reach out from the Painted World to all who had been exiled and experimented upon and give them shelter, a place of Safe Haven.
When Priscilla entered the painting for the last time along with the Goddess Velka. Ariamis chose to stay behind. He kept in his possession The Peculiar Doll so that no one could enter The Painted World unbidden. It was his task to pass it on to "The Chosen One" of legend who would one day save humanity. Without The Peculiar Doll no one can enter...and yet, only Priscilla retains the power to reach out from The Painted World and bring those deserving in.
Alas, Ariamis in madness went hollow, another victim of the Undead Curse and was taken to the Northern Asylum where he died. Yet, even in his madness he kept The Doll close to his heart knowing that one day the Chosen One would come. So now it comes to pass that the Chosen One must find the Doll so that they may enter The Painted World and seek the truth of Lordran and its madness.
Fore, you see...all are exiled in The Painted World. All are people who seek to right the wrongs done. To break the Undead Curse and undo the madness. We will fight to our deaths to defend The Painted World and Our Crossbreed Queen Priscilla from all who enter our realm unbidden and seek to harm Our Queen. We will hunt you down without remorse and kill you without guilt. Yet, in the Spirit of The Painted World and in Honor of Our Queen we shall provide you Safe Passage if you so choose!
___________________________________________
To those who wish to enter and do no harm to Our Queen we offer safe passage and will escort you through the Painted World so that your eyes may be opened to the truth. If you (as a player) should choose this Safe Passage then please see our thread entitled "Exiled of Ariamis Coop Options!!"
Also, in retribution for the evil deeds done to our Queen and those She shelters we will venture into Lordran and offer our help in Anor Londo, The Archives, and New Londo. Fore, it is truly Seath who has brought calamity to all. Players who seek to aid us in our quest and seek assistance in defeating Ornstein and Smough, placing the Lord Vessel and defeating Seath The Scaleless than please see our thread entitled "Exiled of Ariamis Coop Options"
Please be aware that the Coop thread is not up yet...it's in the works right now!!!
"We, of the painting are fiercely real!
The painting is the method by which any
and all may be transported to
The Painted World of Ariamis.
The Realm of the Dragon Crossbreed Priscilla!!
It began with Exiles and is now Protected By Exiles!!!
Of threats to gods and their people cast,
The Exiled of Ariamis Last.
Former Lifehunters purged from toil,
Now make their home upon this soil.
We live in hope but fight for peace,
And our family will increase.
The love of Priscilla guides us all,
Against our strength the invaders fall.
If thou seek help then join our fold,
Embrace the love and solidarity we hold.
But if thou come to cause us harm,
Your bodies break under strength of our arm.
We are the Exiled of Ariamis past,
Through the ages we will last.
Our home holds fast against the light,
Or fight the dark and watch it shudder against our might."
