Here you can see what I write like. The content comes from an original fantasy universe I've been working on. I tie it in relevance to what my user page says about Dragon Age II, so please do not delete this. It would be all right if you suggested a good site to write my universe on, but if I move content to there, I will simply use this page for something else.

Behind the scenes
Since I complained on my profile that The Last Straw was like my introduction to the pipe organ all over again twice, I decided to give you an idea of what that experience was like. This is my attempt to portray that villain as an Archdemon. Part of my reason for doing so is how much of a supernatural super-villain he was. Portraying him as an Archdemon is only a minor exaggeration. Also note that I don't mean "abomination" as in this, but rather as my own personal definition of any creature that combines traits of completely different animals (so according to me, mermaids, griffons, etc. are abominations).

The Dragon of the Sea
The Grand Imperium worshipped Lilt as the Dragon of Love. Lilt bonded with the sea itself, teaching about how romantic it was. He showed sensitivity to the relationships and conflicts of mortals.

As centuries passed, he began to complain that things were getting less and less romantic. Ultimately his sanity became increasingly questionable, and strange things happened when he was upset. Rain turned blood red when he was angry, pools of water dried up when he was sad. In the end he appeared to the port of Romance, tearing into his own chest with his claws in a dramatic show that romance was dead.

The Imperials were not the only ones confused. A ship from the Royal Isle, the Mistberg Trader, came to investigate. One of the sailors described it as follows:

"We thought perhaps he'd killed himself, but it was questioned whether he could actually be dead. To the best of anyone's perception, he'd sunk into a wide hole in the seabed and never come out.  We dove to investigate, thinking perhaps he was healing, or had fainted.  When we reached it, I screamed.  A twisted mixture of sea creatures rose right past us, growing some monstrous mockery of a beard.  Their god was gone."

The abomination clawed the Trader to pieces on the spot. Having authority over the surrounding area, the Imperium attempted to get control over the situation, only to have their fleet destroyed by the thing that was once their god of love. Lilt went on to raise an army of strange sea creatures and led them to prey on ships for four years until pirates destroyed him. All the while he produced strange, bombastic music and confused everyone - nobody even knew it was Lilt until three years after the transformation.
