weapon – Shades of Battler

Legendary Swords

Legends speak of weapons which upon being passed down from warrior to warrior slaying many great foes across the generations, that said weapon may come to develop a will of its own.

Influenced by the hands that wielded and the blood of the foes that tainted them, each blade forms a unique will of its own.

Perhaps the will of a holy demon slayer shall form from the hands of faithful paladins, slaying monstrous beings in the name of justice. But should their will weaken, should the will of the demonic beasts they slay be stronger than that of their own, demonic taint left impurified, a twisted will of death and destruction may form instead.

Whilst no more than legend, the tales of such will infused weapons turning on their masters stand as a testament towards the importance of treating one’s blade with the upmost of care.

Guardians of the Lake

Uncategorized

There was once a blade like no other, devoid of all impurity truly befit of a king. A single swing of this blade was said to fell an entire battalion. Its power drew the eyes of envy, greed and lust. Even a mere soldier could be a mighty warrior if only they had such a weapon.

Lead by the story of the King Sword’s origin a lowly squire set off on pilgrimage to the ancient lakes of pure. As did a lone knight who had previously laid his fallen lord’s weapon to rest at the depths of the lake, the squire too discarded his weapon.

And so, one night while drinking off his regret and admonishments at behest of his father for believing such a fools tale; he stumbled upon his family blade embedded in his family estate’s stone fountain, refined beyond all reason.

This began the start of a trend, to throw one’s weaponry into the nearest lake on the off chance of its return. As one may guess the Nymphs of the lakes did not take kindly to this and now defend their waters with the very blades discarded within.

Lady of the Lake

Updates

Once playful spirits who happily swam within the calm and gentle waters of the cleanest of lakes. There were the caretakes, the purifiers of water who brought joy and life to the nearby wildlife, and the odd prank.

That however changed one night..

It started with just the one, a single battle-worn sword. It was the weapon of a once great man, slain by the cruel beast that is war. Perhaps those who tossed the blade had believed or at least hoped, that the sins of their lord be cleansed alongside should his bloodstained weapon come to rest in the waters of the finest purity.

Confused the kind sprits fulfilled their only know duty; they cleaned the blade and returned it to the world of man…

It was a blade like no other, a blade without impurity capable of cutting through the toughest of steel.
