Legendary Weapons of Altera

[dracoboy2]

The ability to name weapons has given us so many roleplay opportunities, so why not write them up?

This thread is for you to write however much you want about your named sword. Post the name and material, as well as a little (or big) story, and they will be added to the list. So go, this is your chance to be creative and if you really are a warrior, then why not tell your trusty weapon of choice's tale!

Remember these items must exist and I will check all of them before they are added to the list!

Ok, I only accept swords with stories now, I will do my own soon. This is because, well quite frankly, anyone can put "Uber awesome sword- diamond, no enchant" that has no real meaning in roleplay. My sword, and any others owned by house leaders will be included without stories as they are, in roleplay, legendary figures.

Another point. Could you explain a bit about why it is relevant to altera and legendary (and please, please have real lore approved details not just "my god game me the sword and it is ubzor and hold").

[Markisbeest]

Name: The Kitten Slayer
Item: Battleaxe
Material: Diamond
Enchantments: None
Owner: High Priest of Kilrox Markus Groothart
Backstory/Description: Forged in the heat of the Cathedral of Blood, tempered by the blood of newly born ocelots, freshly drained from their veins. The axe was made in honor of the Bloody Lord, for his cruelty is everlasting. The weapon is not superior to another diamond axe, except for the way it has been ritually blessed, by the slaughter of 100 kittens. To keep the axe in good shape the owner needs to butcher at the very least a kitten every week, although this may be replaced with a greater victim, as long as it holds as much innocence as the formerly mentioned. This usually ensures the enemy forces to be intimidated by the cruelty of the wielder.

"... For thou will slaughter all, innocent and guilty, children and adult, animal and human, starting with the smallest and most harmless, slowly increasing your target untill empires bleed on the blade of my axe..."
-Scriptures of the Bloody Lord

 

[Morpheus]

Seeing as this thread was my idea and Draco just beat me to posting it... I'm suggesting a better, easier to use format for submitting items

Name: Elven Dominance
Item: Sword
Material: Diamond/Mithril
Enchantments:Sharpness IV, Knockback II Fire Aspect I
Owner: Leorthor Ararodwen (Jagster08)
Backstory/Description: The Sword was created to be taken as a literal term to early Elven texts, the blade has great power and can easily cut down an armed opponent in a few hits.
This blade is large enough to be wielded into both hands, but yet is light enough to easily wield in one hand. It features a curved diamond blade with a Mithril hilt, explaining it's size and weight. The hilt is curved down towards and over the users hands in order to protect them from being injured whilst in combat.

"...And I grant you dominion over all you see before you, but be wary for the night is dark and filled with terrors. So you shall strike down these terrors with great vengeance and furious anger upon all who would attempt to poison and destroy your brothers. And they will know your name is the Lord when you lay your dominance upon them..."
-Extract from scripture detailing Shalherana addressing the first elves



Name: Elven Grace
Item: Bow

"...But however strong you must become, you must never descend into savagery. Maintain your grace and dignity throughout all troubles, and the world shall be a much better place, free from the strife which..."
-Extract from scripture detailing Shalherana addressing the first elves




Name: The Elven crown
Item: Helmet
Material: Diamond/Mithril
Enchantments: Protection III, Respiration III
Owner: Leorthor Ararodwen (Jagster08)
Backstory/Description: Whilst this crown may not be the true crown from legend, but it has properties of said legendary crown. It may appear to be a small crown made a silvery material with a large amount of diamond gems set all around the edge, but yet it offers a large amount of protection from attacks and allows the user to breathe for some time underwater. It is said that this helmet once belonged to a powerful battlemage, whom it protected for some time until the point of his death.

"...And this will be a symbol of my blessing, a crown so beautifully detailed and expertly forged. It may look frail and but a mere piece of gemstone, but it holds a tiny fraction of my true power over the land and seas..."

Material: Diamond
Enchantments: Looting III, Sharpness IV
Owner: Leader of The Elven Hoods, Zoren Halfdawn

After creation he entrusted it to the greatest elven swordsman of the time, Dorah Halfdawn. It has been passed down through the generations to be lost by a man known as Carh, a theif. He took the sword and was killed later by an unknown cause. Some say he was killed by Jax for stealing the sword. It was then lost for 200 years. After those years, (Warning: reference to the King Arthur legend I'm pretty sure ) a man named Zoren, another Halfdawn, found the sword embedded in a rock. As he pulled it out, he felt something magical go through his body and the sword easily lifted out of the rock. Hiril Gurth has become stronger than ever recorded.

[Brave Rubber Duck]

Name: Wind of the Desert
Item: Bow
Material: String / Sticks / Leather / Skeleton Bones / Iron bars / Flint and Steel
Enchantments: Power V, Flame I, Infinity I
Owner: J'Dar Kahest (BraveRubberDuck)

After so many years of hunting, and with all the secrets that my own father, a hunter, shared with me, I ended up personalizing and tweaking my bow in all the ways that I could. Using iron bars to reinforce the main structure, I found out that it was a lot harder to pull it back, but one single arrow could crush several melons in a row, without even slowing down.

But even if you have a powerful bow, if you cannot aim correctly, it wont do you any good. That's where an old traveler helped me. He was a craftsmen, and had developed some sights and arrow support for bows, as well as a system that light the arrows on fire at the exact moment as they were shot. He told me that that way, the meat would already be cooked wen the animal died, making it much more tasteful that those who cook the meat only a couple of hours later. He was too old to hunt by himself, so he gave them to me in exchange of some food that I've hunted the day before. God knows what is made of that old man nowadays...

The last part, was more of a finding. I was at a tavern, just grabbing a last meal since I was planning to continue my journey during the night, to cross a small desert that was standing in between the tavern and the next town. The bartender was saying that I was crazy to cross it during the night, but with the high temperatures that that place hits during the day, the night time was my only option. As I pick my sack, a couple of lads asked if they could join me, since they as well were going to the same town. They told me that we needed to move quickly, since monsters usually wander around that desert during the night, but that was no problem for me. I gathered my belongings and waited for them outside, as the sun starts to set, giving us enough time to get to the desert already during the night time. As we set foot it the still warm sand, we do see some monsters on the horizon, but decided to keep going. As long as they don't see us, we should be okay. But they were getting close as we moved, and those two guys really did not understood the idea of "going low". It was just a matter of time until they saw us...
All of the sudden, an arrow flies by us. Then another. And another. Apparently we had some skeletons tracking us down. Lucky for us, I did spot a sandstorm approaching us from the south. I told them to stay down, and cover themselves with their capes. The skeletons were getting closer, but as soon as they pass the last dune, the storm surrounds us. I cover my face with my scarf, leaving only my ears and my eyes out. The skeletons could not see anything due to the storm, and they spread out trying to find us. It's time to shine...

A couple of minutes later, the storm follows his path, leaving in his trail burned skeletons, with their skulls cracked open by my arrows. The two fellas were still trying to take the sand out of their boots wen they saw the burned bones. "I heard stories about this storms, of how deadly they can be. But I didn't know the winds of the desert had such a devastating power.", one of them said, still amazed with all the bones. "Yes, the Wind of the Desert..." I said, looking at my bow. It suits him well.

We were ready to leave, and continue our journey to the town, wen I saw something near one of the bone piles. It was a strange quiver, made out of some old leather. Mine was already damaged with the use, and I was planning to buy a new one, so I may as well pick this one up. It was empty wen I picked it up, and as soon as I placed one arrow inside, the arrow got stuck and the hole a lot tighter, leaving only space for that one arrow. I was confused, and picked up my old quiver again. Probably my mind playing tricks with me, it's just an old quiver for only a couple of arrows. But before I threw it to the grown, I tried to remove my arrow. As soon as I started pulling it out, another one came up. And then another one. And another one... It was a skeleton quiver. After you shoot one of those arrows, even if you try to pick it up, your hand will go trough it like if it was not there, leaving only a smokey outline of were the arrow use to be. And a brand new one will appear from inside the quiver.

To this day, I still have no clue how does that thing works... But at least I know that I won't run out of arrows wen I'm hunting in the Wind of the Desert.

Proof of existence:​

(You asked for a background story, here you go )

 

[Roablade]

Name: Scorpio
Item: Talwar
Material: A Rhewdur blade with a Diamond fuller. Has an Ivory cross-guard(With the name 'Scorpio' engraved on it), grip and hilt.
Enchantments: Bane of Arthropods V, Looting III
Owner: Drowan Hawklight
Backstory/Description: This blade's story begins with it's cooperative forging by a Frostpeak dwarf and a human bandit for the sole purpose of being the weapon of the Chief of an unofficial clan of desert bandits. The Chief had led his subordinates through the community's transition from a farming village to their current state, earning the respect of his allies and fear of his enemies. When he died his son inherited his position and the blade, and when he died his own son inherited his position and blade. However, dark times fell upon the clan as a plague swept through the community, slowly giving most of the bandits a slow and torturous death. The Chief succumbed to the plague as well, and with no heir he entrusted the family heirloom, Scorpio, to the remaining bandits which had not fallen victim to the plague and commanded them to leave the land. However, the group never made it through the desert and the sword was lost for several years...

Until a young man 14 years of age literally stumbled upon it half buried in the sand, picked it up, didn't bother to find out if it was owned by anyone and started using it to cut cacti for water. The blade, being held in the hands of a sentient being after so long, began to hum in anticipation...
