Sorrow

This is the information about Sorrow, as I believe was compiled by Celtar. Having bonded to the weapon myself, I know this information to be true. -Madmountan

Sorrow's actual description is: a massive vaalorn sword

Some years ago at one of the grand pavilion auctions I saw a two hander come up and Bankur won the bid on it. I waited years for this blade to come into my hands. Keeping track of its owner and whereabouts. Finally I own the weapon, and it has indeed caused Celtar much sorrow. Hence the name he has given it.

Bard Song: Done by Merryleon at much danger to himself.

You sing:

"Sword with a value untold

What price gets you sold"

The first thing you notice is that the sword is of normal

weight for a weapon of its type, yet there is something

irksome about its feel in your hand.

You sing:

"Sword that I find myself singing to

What purpose do you faithfully do"

The sword suddenly turns on you, lashing out!

The sword starts to pulse with a dark rhythm, drawing you

closer. You begin to feel your soul weakening as you start

to submit to the bidding of the sword. Rage builds within you

driving you bezerk!

You sing:

"Sword with a value untold

What price gets you sold"

An aura of great magic surround the sword, its vibrations

lashing back at the sound of your voice. The sword begins

to vibrate in your hands, nearly uncontrollably. You realize

with a start that this weapon has a life of its own.

Merryleon struggles to hold on to the sword as his sings.

You sing:

"Sword before I toss you with the waste

Is there a purpose to your taste?"

As you sing, you sense resonant vibrations coming from the

sword, matching pitch with yours. Soon a harmony is

achieved, and a brilliant display begins to materialize before

you...

Dark skies loom overhead and thunder-bursts roll though a

blackened valley. Two lone figures stand locked in mortal

battle with monstrous blades. War songs fill the air, brilliant

flashes of lightning obscuring your view. When they have

cleared, the battle is at an end, one of the fighters impaled

upon his own sword. Suddenly a horrible shrieking deafens

you, as the fallen figure is seems to be consumed by his

blade...

You sing:

"Sword with a value untold

What price gets you sold"

Your breath becomes labored as you try to coax yet more

out of the sword...

Images race past with unbelievable speed! Foes falling in

battle... Friends turning against each other... Thousands of

faint voices, echoing through the sky... Hundreds of years

passing in mere seconds... All the while a horrid screaming

fills your ears. As you attempt to delve deeper into the

sword's history it suddenly lashes out at you!

You are stunned!

You sing:

"Sword that I find myself singing to

What purpose do you faithfully do"

The sword suddenly bathes you in a warm red light, pulsing

with your breaths in a hypnotic rhythm.

You learn nothing new about the sword.

Ok besides being x6 enchanted. This is everything I've learned about the blade. Its a "he" as well. From what I see from the bard song. Will it ever attune to Celtar? No idea. Fun roleplaying item but damn deadly to the weilder. A few typos I note in its abilites as well. New note: The sword starts at +18 the min training to hold it is 9th. The AS goes up on the sword as you train. I do not know the max bonus at this time. Though Celtar at 18th was getting a bonus of 36.

Further note: I think this is the message that starts when it starts attuning to you. (pure speculation on my part though)

The sword suddenly bathes you in a warm red light, pulsing with your breaths in a hypnotic rhythm.

p.s: baring the Thingol Diamond, Ive never seen such a heavly scripted item. Actually its much more scripted then the Diamond. And til I learn if it attunes or not, I wont be using anymore spirit draining powers if you follow. Three decays via spirit death were enough to teach me.<Grin>

The cold guardian dies an abrupt death.

A number of items ranging from 8 to 19 feet from the void

were picked up and sucked toward the blackness. The items

did an accumulative damage of 70 as they caromed off a

cold guardian. The void disappears without further incident.
