BIO

Jhiilsraa is a member of a sinister race of elves called Svartalfar. Unlike the good-natured Ljosalfar, Svartalfar are a cruel and sadistic species of elf who take pleasure in cruel actions against races other than their own. Jhiilsraa herself is an enchantress of her kind and her wickedness is said to even dwarf that of her fellow Svartalfar.

STORY MODE

INTRO CUTSCENE

(We're treated with a landscape view of a mountainous forest presumably located in Norway. Five seconds later, we cut to one of mountains. A burst of green fire occurs, teleporting Jhiilsraa and a heavily-armored male dark elf on top of the mountain.)
Jhiilsraa: "Look at these humans, scattering around like they have no care in the world."
Dark elf: "You mean these simple men right there?"
(The two spy upon a couple of huntsmen who are roaming the woods.)
Huntsman #1: "Alright, we must steady ourselves. Think calmly and plan."
Jhiilsraa: "Perhaps I shall distract them."
Dark elf: "Like how?"
Jhiilsraa: "Hmpf. Just watch and find out."
(Jhiilsraa's right hand glows of green fire and as a couple of huntsmen are walking, a mountain starts sprouting out a rock troll from it. Two Steps From Hell's "Call To Arms" starts playing.)
Huntsman #2: "Men! A rock troll has emerged!"
Huntsman #3: "Quickly, attack!"
(The rock troll attacks the huntsmen who are fending it off. This goes on for  seconds until we cut to a shot of Jhiilsraa and the armored dark elf. Jhiilsraa summons a battleaxe and lends it to the male dark elf.)
Jhiilsraa: "You, you are free to attack."
(The huntsmen successfully kill the rock troll, only for the armored dark elf to teleport right in front of them.)
Dark elf: "I will face you in mortal combat."
Huntsman #2: "A Svartalfr!"
(The armored dark elf eviscerates the huntsmen to death, with only one huntsman remaining as he is on the ground, begging for mercy.)
Huntsman #1: "No please! Leave me be!"
Dark elf: "I will not do so."
Huntsman #1: "You cannot!"
(Jhiilsraa teleports next to the armored dark elf, this time with her sword.)
Jhiilsraa: "What's the matter, silly Midgardian? Are you afraid that you have only of few seconds to live?"
Huntsman #1: "Who are you?"
Jhiilsraa: "As if that ever matters!"
Dark elf: "Shall I kill him, enchantress?"
Jhiilsraa: "No... I'll do it myself."
(Jhiilsraa points her sword towards the huntsman's throat.)
Jhiilsraa: "Surely you shall tell Odin I said hi."
(Jhiilsraa stabs the huntsman in the throat and emits an evil laughter.)

PROLOGUE

In the realm of Alfheim, there exists divine entities called Ljosalfar, light elves that serve as guardian spirits for the realms, not unlike the angels of Abrahamic lore, and were the precursors of common elves such as Elora. Long ago however, one Ljosalfr named Maelphor selfishly wanted to rule over the inhabitants of Midgard, which the other Ljosalfar, save for a few, did not agree upon. Thus it led to a war between the Ljosalfar who were against Maelphor's scheme and those who backed him up. Maelphor and his allies lost and were banished from Alfheim, only to wind up in a different realm which would be known as Svartalfheim, where they became the evil Svartalfar and many Svartalfar today are descended from Maelphor himself. Svartalfar, such as their enchantress Jhiilsraa, live a xenophobic and vile culture consisting of things like enslavement and bringing doom. Jhiilsraa is arguably the cruelest of her kind as she takes pleasure in forcing other races, be they humans, dwarves, or even other types of elves, into hard labor and will not even hesitate to torture them as well.

RIVAL CUTSCENE

(Scene takes place in a mountainous area with sharp-pointed tops and skulls in certain areas, including a horned skull that spews a waterfall of blood that forms around the area like a lake. Jhiilsraa approaches the circular platform that is on top of the blood lake.)
Jhiilsraa: "Just as I expected from those who dwell in Midgard. Utterly pathetic and weak!"
Hyunareum: "Stand back, whoever you are!"
(Jhiilsraa turns around and sees Hyunareum at the entrance.)
Jhiilsraa: "So, we have ourselves a fair one with two swords, waiting to dice me to pieces. I am Jhiilsraa and you are?"
Hyunareum: "Hyunareum, princess of the Joseon dynasty!"
Jhiilsraa: "I wonder where that is?"
Hyunareum: "Korea!"
(Hyunareum walks over to the platform.)
Hyunareum: "I will make sure that peace is assured in for this world, away from harmful beings like yourself!"
Jhiilsraa: "As if Midgard will ever be free of violence and bloodshed! Not going to happen anytime soon!"
Hyunareum: "Well I will try."
Jhiilsraa: "Hmpf!"
(Hyunareum gets out her two swords. Meanwhile, Jhiilsraa conjures up green fire from her left hand.)
Jhiilsraa: "You are a nuisance alright! It looks like I'll have to do something about you. But don't worry though, I'll try not to mess up your pretty little face, Princess Hyunareum."

FINAL BOSS CUTSCENE

(Jhiilsraa defeats Hyunareum, who is on the ground with bloody wounds everywhere.)
Jhiilsraa: "You think you had a chance against me, Hyunareum?"
Hyunareum: "I am not just a princess, Jhiilsraa. I am also a protector of my Joseon dynasty!"
Jhiilsraa: "HAHAHAHA! Really now?"
Hyunareum: "Yes, and I will not lose to you and your evil!"
Jhiilsraa: "Well I beg to differ, seeing as how fragile you humans really are."
Hyunareum: "You... you take it back!"
Jhiilsraa: "How about... NO!"
(Jhiilsraa stabs Hyunareum in her chest with her sword.)
Jhiilsraa: "Goodnight, sweet princess."
(Jhiilsraa takes the sword off of the now-dead Hyunareum's chest.)
Jhiilsraa: "And now to proceed."
(Jhiilsraa turns towards it, only to be teleported to a circular platform in Hell where there's a glowing pentagram on the ground and the platform is surrounded by pillars that are shaped like curved spikes sticking diagonally around it.)
???: "State yourself and make it fast!"
Jhiilsraa: "I am Jhiilsraa from Svartalfheim!"
???: "Svartalfheim, eh?"
(A burst of hellfire rises from the center of the platform and out from the fire emerges Be'al-Zebos.)
Be'al-Zebos: "So you are an elf then, judging by your realm's name."
Jhiilsraa: "Yes, but I am a dark elf and we dark elves are also referred to as Svartalfr."
Be'al-Zebos: "You Svartalfar are known to be cruel, yes? Kind of like an evil Elora."
Jhiilsraa: "Why yes, you can say that."
Be'al-Zebos: "I have been thinking this myself, may you Svartalfar be allies with us in Hell?"
Jhiilsraa: "As if! I'm sorry, but we won't swear allegiance to your kind!"
(A pillar of hellfire rises, summoning the Hellraiser trident that stands on top of the platform. Be'al-Zebos grabs onto Hellraiser.)
Be'al-Zebos: "Then I shall make you work for me, Jhiilsraa! You have alot of potential in you! An evil witch with a heart so black it can even rival that of a devil's, even me!"
Jhiilsraa: "We Svartalfar serve Maelphor, the first Svartalfr! So you may have to look for some other worthy individual to join you!"
Be'al-Zebos: "Accept my offer or perish!"
Jhiilsraa: "Then I say you are the one who shall perish!"

ENDING CUTSCENE

(Jhiilsraa and Be'al-Zebos clash weapons for five seconds until they stop at a draw.)
Be'al-Zebos: "Jhiilsraa, may you and your fellow Svartalfar join me and my forces of Hell in bringing about the apocalypse?"
Jhiilsraa: "And why should I?"
Be'al-Zebos: "You Svartalfar impress me with your full-blown immorality, the kind of immorality that would even fit in the same pedestal as us demons and devils. If you swear loyalty to me, both the Svartalfar and the demons of Hell will reign supreme. What do you say?"
(Jhiilsraa kneels before Be'al-Zebos, pretending to swear allegiance to him.)
Jhiilsraa: "Prince Be'al-Zebos, I shall become your second in command. I am willing to help out the forces of Hell in their takeover of this world."
Be'al-Zebos: "Yes, exactly what I wish."
Jhiilsraa: "I am glad you are allowing me to serve you..."
(Jhiilsraa takes out a curved dagger and jams it onto Be'al-Zebos's crotch (the stabbing is off-screen, BTW), causing the devil to get down on his knees in agony while holding his (still off-screen, mind you) stabbed crotch, screaming in pain. The giggling Jhiilsraa get up after the devil kneels in pain.)
Be'al-Zebos: "You... you DECEITFUL WHORE!!!"
Jhiilsraa: "You think I would ever swear loyalty to you and your kin?"
Be'al-Zebos: "You will pay for tricking me!"
(Jhiilsraa gets her sword and decapitates Be'al-Zebos. She takes out lava-like blood stained dagger and the devil's headless body collapses down on its stomach.)
Jhiilsraa: "I have an idea of what I shall do. I shall take the demons in Hell as my slaves."
(Jhiilsraa walks towards the Sphere of Wonders.)
Jhiilsraa: "Sphere of Wonders, make the demons of Hell submit to me, Jhiilsraa, as I shall bind them to work for us Svartalfar."
(Jhiilsraa cuts the sphere in half and the scene flashes into a white background. Two Steps From Hell's "Crusaders" starts playing as the white background fades to a scene in the mountains of Svartalfheim. We see a svartalfr carriage being driven by chained, half-naked slaves consisting of humans, elves from Alfheimr, dwarves, and even demonic denizens from the Judeo-Christian Hell like Migrandis, Bromes, and Belial. Bromes appears to have had his arms amputated and his horns cut off, Migrandis is strapped onto Bromes's chest, and Belial appears to also have had his horns cut off.)
Migrandis: "Can you believe this crap? We denizens from Hell are now the Svartalfar's bitches!"
Belial: "I hear you, Migrandis."
Bromes: "..."
Belial: "When I was freed from my prison, I never thought someone would free me only to conquer me and this is all that Svartalfr's fault!"
(Cut to a flashback of Belial's vessel prison breaking apart, setting him free. Only for Jhiilsraa to show up.)
Belial: "Finally, after two years I am free!"
Jhiilsraa: "Oh really?"
Belial: "Who are you, and what did you mean by "Oh really"?"
Jhiilsraa: "I am Jhiilsraa, the enchantress of Svartalfheim. I have come to have you and your kin do the labor in my realm."
Belial: "WHAT?!?"
Jhiilsraa: "You heard me, devil!"
(Belial summons his trident Nequitius and flies towards Jhiilsraa for the attack, only to then cut back to Belial, Bromes and Migrandis in Svartalfheim along with the other slaves.)
Belial: "And to make matters worse, prior to freeing me, she killed my brother Be'al-Zebos! Now Hell is powerless thanks to that dark elf harpy!"
Migrandis: "What was her business coming to our world only to fuck the population in the ass?"
Belial: "You ask me, because I wish I can just break free and tear the bitch apart!"
(Jhiilsraa, who happens to be inside the carriage, walks over towards one of the windows and pokes her out at Belial, lashing out at him in anger.)
Jhiilsraa: "I heard that, former Prince of Darkness!"
Belial: "You just want to play us like fools!"
Migrandis: "Yeah, like he said! So fuck you!"
Jhiilsraa: "Really? Fuck me? I beg to differ, imp!"
Migrandis: "I wish Be'al-Zebos was still alive."
(Jhiilsraa turns her attention towards Bromes and Migrandis with a sinister smirk.)
Jhiilsraa: "Tell you what. Where we're heading, I will make sure you two's job will be quite severe. How is that?"
Migrandis: "...I don't wanna fucking know what your talking about."
(Jhiilsraa laughs as she returns back in her carriage.)
Jhiilsraa: "Now to your stations, fools!"
(Cut to a fortress which appears to be filled with dark fantasy architecture. The slave-carrying carriage approaches the entrance. Two Steps From Hell's "Crusaders" stops playing.)
Migrandis: "I knew I should've stayed home in Hell."
Jhiilsraa: "QUIET!!!"
Belial: "...Why you miserable dark elven cu-"
(Sevendust's "Ugly" starts playing as the Epic Blades II logo pops up. Seven seconds later, the logo fades away and credits start to roll as we see various characters from the roster performing techniques with their weapons in a black background that has technicolor fire of different variants rising in different directions per character appearance.)
And now for the real LAST 1st Seasons Pass entry for Epic Blades II! And it is the dark elf, or Svartalfr, Jhiilsraa!

You know, since the inclusion of another elf in Epic Blades named Elora, I always wanted to include a dark elf in some way or another and while coming up with one, I came up with who would eventually be like an evil version of Elora. So then came the idea of Jhiilsraa.

Now the dark elves (yes I'm labelling them as Svartalfar but for the remainder of this description, I'll just straight up call them dark elves) in Epic Blades are depicted similarly to the dark elves in Warhammer. Aside from adding a spin to their lore for Epic Blades, I made it where they are an evil, sadistic and misanthropic bunch who bring harm to people and have no qualms with enslaving different races (including other kinds of elves) into harsh labor.

Jhiilsraa is pretty much like an elven Taria from Mace: The Dark Ages and a little like Tanya from Mortal Kombat (in addition to being voiced by Jenifer Hale of course) in that she is a cruel sorceress whose immorality is said to dwarf that of her superiors. So yeah, she's that cold-hearted of a bitch.

Long story short, if you like dark elves, especially dark elf chicks, then Jhiilsraa is your gal!
