Welcome to the almighty
Era of the Sixth.
Shangri-La.
The Wraith.
An otherworldly display of supernatural might ripped the fabric of space and time, allowing the enigmatic spirit of the Dark Carnival to encounter Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, revealing to them six mystical revelations. Each of these revelations manifests and takes the form of a Jokers Card. For roughly ten years, the Jokers Cards have slowly revealed themselves to all, bringing with them their magical messages. Many have been waiting in agony at the approach of the Sixth Jokers Card. Their waiting is now at an end.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first to come was the Carnival of Carnage. The years of breathing the souls of rotted minds have brought to all a severe case of "Ghetto Insanity." When the upper crust looks down at the down-trodden and those that do not fit their profiles as freaks, all part of some exhibit of amusement... then it is time to give them a show they will never forget. The heartless will pay for not hearing the cries of the helpless in a whirlwind of mass carnage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ringmaster soon after entered the scene, formed by the wicked ways of man to judge over the very fate of humanity. The time of reckoning is at hand as the Ringmaster walks his path. What is the real evil that plagues mankind and who are the real demons that taint whatever they touch? The Ringmaster sees past all words spoken with forked tongues and examines all deeds as he perceives their psyche. And those that fail to pass his judgment shall be dragged off to the pits of hell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third era begins as time comes to a standstill, as the heart slows its continuing beats until silenced forever. Yet time is eternal and this small pause is just the beginning. In the darkness stands the Riddlebox, waiting for those who have passed out of this plane of existence to turn its crank. When the music stops and the contents are revealed with terrifying speed, one will know for sure what fate awaits them. The few lucky ones will be bathed in the warmth of eternal peace while the others will have their sanity torn from their souls as they gaze upon their hell-spawned evil reflections.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fourth era is sent in motion by the Necromancer from the Netherworld, the Great Milenko brought forth from your own evil needs and perceptions. All that one lusts over, everything that tempts, all the jealous desires are mere illusions, blinding one to their own evil deeds. These evil deeds slowly kill, and as part of the body dies, the Great Milenko gains more power. There is no escaping the Great Milenko for he is a part of everyone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The temperature rises as the twins of the fifth era emerge. Jack and Jake, the Amazing Jeckel Brothers. They appear before the departed soul to perform a juggling act, the stakes being the fate of their spirit. The more sins committed in the past, the more blood soaked balls are added to the complex display. There is no escaping them for they are our conscience. Jake the Just brings the warming flames of mercy and Jack the Sinister brings the charring fire of evil. If the juggling ends without a fumble then the gates of Shangri-La are opened...but if Jack has his way, Jake will fumble the act and the soul will be cast down into a pit of eternal suffering.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now the sixth era begins...but what role shall the Wraith play in the cosmic balance? What is the Sixth Jokers Cards message to the world? Do not fret...the answers will soon be revealed.
