Skill: Shows off the blacksmiths massive horse cock. In a time before modern machinery some crazy Germans and Swiss hammered beyond natural human limit. They probably did it as a meme then realised it was actually useful as a weapon. Sharpening a wavy blade would have been a nightmare.
Functional: Good for duelling sword vs sword. A traditional sword allows you to slide off an enemies blade if your swords clash, because the blade is straight. The waves in a flamberg blade creates vibrations which hurts the opponents hands, that doesn’t sound like much but it gives you an advantage. Very useful for parrying since the enemies sword will strike, then the blade gets stuck on your wavy blade or they pull away from the impact shock. Either way you will have an opening to attack. Also the waves cut much deeper similar to a serrated knife. If you got cut once by this blade, you would not be able to stitch your wound shut, you are pretty much sliced bread.
Aesthetic: Someone challenges you to a duel, while they unsheathe their boring longsword, you unwrap your wiggly sword. They immediately apologize and run because you are rich enough to afford a wiggly sword and probably have multiple wenches giving you ankle parchments.
Made for the festival yesterday with @fastrilbloodwing ! It’s always nice to work with other amazingly talented roleplayers. Thank you for coming and thank you for participating!
For the Forsaken called Keeland- One Obsidian blade to be sharpened and picked up on the 9th when SF has the booth open. The blade is sharpened and inside a paper box awaiting Keeland’s return.
Notes: The blade has seen heavy use and has several chips in it, creating a jagged edge that would tear and make for a bad weapon. Obsidian is one of the sharpest things I’ve ever seen but it’s brittle. A well crafted obsidian scalpel is better than anything made from steel. At any rate- I feel like Keeland got the blade from Outlands. The hilt is Fel iron and the bands are from a demon. Wrathguard? I do not have a warlock in my employ to ask. But it is not the normal animal or sentient bones I have seen. The magic that lingers in the blade is most certainly void magic. I wonder what kind of person Keeland is to use such magic?

The final product was the result of days of labor. I don’t know if Aestus feels the same was I do when a Lightforged weapon is done. Normally it felt invigorating, pleasant, leaving a lingering sense of happiness and peace. But a Lightforged weapon is different. It drains me and through me the Light. Channeled for hours, prayers and hymnals, blessings, and whispered pleas sung to it. It was an art, a labor of love. Elven blades get stronger with each remaking. But Lightforged blades made by elven hands are truly unique.
Ethalarian Dawnstalker, also known in easier times as Shahin was to be the recipient of this blade. Unlike Thanidiel Highdawn’s blade the Light did not fill me with the same presence I needed to fit the blade perfectly to him. One might wonder if Lightwielders are truly so different that I would need another. The short and simple answer is yes. With any magical weapon that’s made for someone in mind you need to know them. How they fight, how they are, what sort of magic do they normally wield? The more you know the better you can craft the weapon to become an extension of the man.
Ethalarian Dawnstalker is a man who prides himself on his skill with a broadsword. He moves fast so he can strike first, get past their defenses before they can attempt to attack. Precision and swift moves chained together with fluid and dexterous strokes speak of someone who has fought giants and won. He does not have to be faster or stronger, but rather more clever. Like many Blood knights he seems to be full of anger and rage and his magic is an example of that.
It makes me wonder what they have gone through to constantly carry that anger inside of them. Glowing coals ready to become searing flames. But I digress.
The metals I use to make the blades I will keep to myself and those of my forges who have earned the knowledge. The blade is going to be slightly heavier than what he is used to but thanks to Aestus the Lightforged blade came out beautifully.
The blade was made for Shahin and since ‘Phoenix’ suits him so well we made certain it resembled it. The pommel is gold and with Catriah’s adept hands resembles feathers. The grip is black and yellow dyed leather, enchanted to resist heat. The guard required more work on my part but again, with Catriah’s aide I was able to capture the details that we had sketched out. Four outstretched wings with a red Saber’s eye. Saber’s Eyes are used by enchanters when they make creations to enhance strength.
The Phoenix’s head rests on the blood red blade. It took Catriah considerable time to do the etching. Those lines glow with the magic held by the blade serve both decoration and purpose. It is modified from the sword of Sophy Adelis. It was rumored that the elven cleric was able to channel so much of the Light she often would break her weapons for they were unable to handle the fury and power of the Light. To solve this problem she locked herself away for a year and a day until she came out and proudly declared she had a solution. Fortunately for us her blade still exists and remains on display at her memorial on Sunstrider isle. It prevents more Light than the blade can handle from staying in the blade.
Fortunately Ethalarian is already fast and will hopefully not singe his brows.
And finally while I thought of removing the point to make it an executioner’s weapon, it did not fit the design. It’s full tang and a proper elven blade.
I find myself more grateful for Aestus and Catriah everyday. I might have managed something like this on my own if the Light filled me with such purpose but I struggled this time. Aestus channeled the Light for everything and helped as my striker, Catriah took over the design once the blade and hilt were finished and transformed from a work of art into something elegant and refined in three days and nights all on her own.
We give it to him on the soon. I hope he appreciates this. These blades have only gone up in quality since Aestus and Catriah have added their skills to my forges.
