Forge of Creation voting people ! Round 3, this time involving lore.
RATING
Each lore has "marking guidelines", based on which you'll be able to rate the lore. The categories are :
Relashionship - Your story must not be way too out of place (has to still relate to the dota 2 universe - containing the heroes's names for example makes you eligibile for this)
Length - Nobody is here to read dime novels. Make sure it is of proper length, not too short but not too long either.
Originality - New elements in each story? How original do you think each is? And why?
Coherence - This is mostly about making each of them readable. Possitioning in the page, placing every comma or question mark is important here. You are making these so people read it, and if people get tired reading it... there's no point in making them.
I like the poem! I feel that some parts are exactly necessary, hence the lower length score.

Great story! I think you missed his 'illusions' and all his plane shifting, hence the lower relationship score.

Wonderful! It is a little long, as you have said. Brilliantly written, though. GJ

Very interesting, but somehow doesn't have to do much with Abbadon himself, only the mist is mentioned.

Very awesome storyline, I really enjoyed it. However, you should try to put it through spell-check at least once, as you have a lot of missing spaces and capitals! :D

Doesn't have a clear relationship with the dota-verse, thus the lower Relationship score. Very optimal length, though.

It's a nice change to the original lore, and the poem/song idea is cool.

A lot of those comments are mine :l....And you also didn't give me a vote.
The poem aspect of his lore is really cool, length is kept in check, and the connections were obviously there. However there were some structure errors that made the poem sound strange at times.
An obvious relationship to the dota universe but it lost points in originality for relating it to Tusk. Overall grammar and sentence structure was good however.
Love how you brought his individual spells into the lore. It's a little long, but is very original and very well written. Invoker is the new Shadow Demon, lore wise.
Connection to the mist and the Nyx, and after I read the last paragraph I took a look at Abaddon's helmet to see that it looks a lot like a Nerubian's head. Cool relationship there. Great story all in all.
I love the relationship to Beastmaster and Magnus's abilities but the actually plot of the story feels very similar to his current lore, thus the decreased originality score.
Short, sweet, and to the point. However other than the mentioning of Dazzle joining a battle there is really no other relationship to the dota universe.
Alrighty then, I think that's it for me. Great work from everyone, and may the best writer win :)
