The Acclaimed Holy Halberd of Crusade
[Music]



Where many brandish blades in defense of the Honor of their House or Creed,
the Enclave brandishes Render, the emblazoned blade of Crusade's immense ferocious wrath.
While one questions the creed of those of the God of War, one thing is certain. Their accursed
hands are wroth only with the fury of the Sylph of Conflict.

Render is no different.


History:

Born of the beginning conflicts of the Old World, this halberd began as something thrown
in an old trunk in a caravan. Dragged out by one known as Klaryn Lyssain, informally known
as Raphael, and used as an auxillary weapon in the Coalition-Anhald war in it's advent, and further
rumored to have been destroyed along with many of his material belongings prior to his death.

Known to have killed and maimed many entities in it's existence, aswell as the aid of slaying a
drake; though under the calm protection of one elf known as Vesryn de'Savi Xilleth, a knight of
Sallana and protector of Mockingbay prior to it's beginning. By this time, the weapon grew the
reputation to be far more blunted and damaged, though kept in check so as to be used further in
the near future.

All good things must come to an end, though. As Vesryn fell to great strife with the Champion of
Silas, Sif Sigurd, so too did Render, the halberd fell in the hands of a harlot- one who recognized
it's steel make and damaged portions; it's gruesome curve and bloodied steel surface. So true is it
that she had no idea how to wield it; so she brought it home to her son. Lo and Behold, however,
this halberd belonged to it's father.

The family never knew what happened to Klaryn, nor did they particularly care as their home was
always threatened most if not all of the time, being low nobles and had hardly anything but the
wealth they incurred from the Walanescu traitors whom threatened the Kaiserreich, but this halberd
became a breadwinner so to speak. Arike, whom held this at the age of fifteen had begun training
with it and hardly ever brought it into the public eye was the result of a demon being slayed in one
of the very first openings of the Rift, scoring him the demon-hide he has today.

In the years following, enough time and meditation with the God of War, Render in the hands of
Arike became a weapon to be feared despite it's nearly mundane origin; boasting no great gems or
legends renowned by Man nor Elf, this weapon is tattered but of good use- aswell as consistently
rebuilt by Arike and kept in good form for use in the future. Nigh-sharpened, this weapon is held
with great pride in the name of Crusade.

Trivia:

1. Rumored to have committed deicide through the murder of Aldred.
2. Was nearly burned in lava as a result of a bad accident.
3. Is nearly sixty years old.
4. Nearly always covered in stained blood, no matter circumstance, even when cleaned.
5. Potent demon slayer, and a great way to cut bread.


Statistics:

Render, like any halberd boasts the axe-head, a crows beak spike and a spike on top for lancing people;
though it seems to have a difference to most, it's tapered and brought down to a mere five feet in length
to combat zweihanders aswell as enemies choosing to get closer mistaking the weapon to be far larger
than it is. It's head is covered in countless rubies and the symbol of Crusade engraved into it's mid, and
where a clean, sharpened blade should be is a nigh-shrived, blood stained axe-blade; covered in notches
and cuts in it's length; a quarter inch thick to ensure that even if plate is present, a cut will miss but the
horrid shock wouldn't.


The stock itself is bolted down the entire length with startling silver and steel langettes all the way down to
it's butt cap which bares a blunted spike for clearing enemies at close quarters or stabbing, where as the cap
itself was shaped so as to crush skulls akin to a quarterstaff.

raphael died, it got dropped, some thief picked it up, vesryn bought it inexplecably, vesryn died, a harlot picked it up, gave it to arike, and it's likely gonna burn now or something, who knows.

i honestly didn't even know they were different characters i thought he just changed names a lot

Is that sketch to scale? It seems a little short for a halberd~

Is it a distanced depiction?
