Weaponry:
  • Avarice, a Rimtar Steel saber crafted by Thordil, worn on his right hip.
    This saber is made of the highest quality Rimtar Steel and is, due to the Korog boon and artifact, both perfectly balanced and incredibly damage resistant. The black blade itself is plain, while the curve in the sharpened side of the blade is barely noticeable. On the blade, right below the crossguard, the initials "A. T." are engraved on both sides, in an elegantly flowing font. The black crossguard consists of a flat oval with a hand guard that curves away from the blade on the edged side, its end connected to the base of the pommel. The hilt is made of fine, sturdy mangrove wood and left bare. The black pommel (Oakeshott type T3) sports a scent stopper design. The hand guard is connected to its base, in between the pommel and hilt. The end of the pommel is adorned with a violet sapphire.

  • Excoriate, a Rimtar Steel dagger crafted by Thordil, worn on his right hip in front of his saber.
    Stag antler handle, Rimtar Steel blade with hourglass engraved. The markings on the blade, below the crossguard, is where the hourglass would be on both sides, ~14 inches overall.

  • Shade's Bane, an unusually lustrous side-sword crafted by Ventare, when worn it is sheathed on his right hip.
    A simple side-sword with a dark handle wrap and steel construction most definitely made fit for use. However the blade itself stands out in an unusual and bright way given the steel is coated in a layer of silver.

  • Crystal Sword, an Orange Crystalline arming sword granted by the being Know.
    The weight and other measurable attributes of the sword to imply it is extremely light, as though it were made out of crystal - which it apparently is. All other material concerns however, beside for its durability, seem to imply it is roughly equivalent to an unusually durable steel. Attempts to bend it imply it has a similar tensile strength to low grade steel, but it always returns to its prior shape, and there is no sign of it ever snapping or breaking from use. In addition it is also incredibly scratch resistant, as it seems to have a mineral hardness higher than that of synthetic diamond.
  • A pair of knuckledusters in his jacket pockets

He prefers lighter swords e.g. Rapiers, Sabres and Cutlasses. Most often he is found fighting with a saber in his left hand and a parrying dagger in his right, however unorthodox as he is right handed this is for the purpose of throwing off most combatants who are used to fighting opponents who are right handed as well as allowing him to lead with his dominant foot, improving his footwork.

  • Brewing - From a young age he was taught the ways of brewing. Over the years he has participated in the development of many a fine brew. e.g. Shipwreck Rum, Cutthroat Rum, and Sundown Rum.
  • Smithing - Has picked it up out of necessity having to produce custom fittings for his leather works and mechanistry. Preferring to work with precious metals he has recently begun learning how to maintain his arms and armor, at least those that still require it.
  • Carving and Carpentry - Ardaric is a Master carpenter and shipwright.
  • Appraisal - Ardaric has a keen mind and quick wit when it comes to things of worth, due to the many years he has in his line of work it has become second nature to judge the value of precious metals, stones and more.

Is this the same Ardaric that did the slavers back on the old map? Aaaaay. :D
My character Corven was involved with slavers, I think Ardaric might have been as well? Not sure, don't recall.

If it's the same guy. I remember my Moor Erikor was one that was taken towards the end. Erik liked Ardaric, despite, you know, being his captor.
