The Doom of the Bone Colossus - A Splinterlands Horror

in voilk •  2 months ago

    In the haunted wastes of the Shattered Necropolis, the dead do not rest. From the depths of an ancient crypt, a monstrous entity has emerged—The Bone Colossus, an abomination of forgotten warriors fused into one towering nightmare.

    The Awakening of the Bone Colossus

    Long ago, the Necropolis was home to the greatest warlords and conquerors, each seeking to defy death through forbidden magic. In their hubris, they bound their souls to their remains, hoping to rise again when the time of conquest returned. But the dark arts they wielded spiraled beyond control. Their souls, instead of reviving their individual bodies, fused into one grotesque entity—an undying titan of bone, fury, and shattered memories.

    For centuries, the Bone Colossus remained entombed beneath the ruins, its tormented minds locked in eternal battle within itself. But with the coming of the Chaos Legion and the disturbance of ancient seals, the beast has risen once more. Now, it roams the Necropolis, seeking to complete the wars it once fought, crushing all who stand in its path.

    The Horror of Undeath

    The Bone Colossus is unlike any undead minion. It is no mere skeleton or wraith—it is a walking battlefield, its body an amalgamation of warriors lost to time. Skulls whisper curses from its ribcage, spectral weapons strike from its many limbs, and souls shriek within its hollow chest. Every foe it slays is absorbed into its form, adding to its ever-growing might.

    The Necromancers of Mortis seek to control the Colossus, but it bends to no master. Others believe that if its core soul—a legendary warlord’s remains—can be shattered, the Colossus will crumble. But finding the core within its shifting mass is a task no one has survived.

    The Hunt for the Soul Shard

    A single artifact is rumored to sever the Colossus’s connection to its endless legion of souls—the Soul Shard, an obsidian relic hidden deep within the cursed catacombs beneath the Necropolis. Many adventurers have sought it, but none have returned.

    Now, as the Bone Colossus marches toward the heart of the Splinterlands, warriors, summoners, and relic hunters prepare for a final stand. Will the monstrosity be banished, or will its army of the damned continue to grow?
