[QUOTE="Varianor Abroad, post: 4079356, member: 12425"] Some ideas: This weapon was made for a wealthy noble's son, a fine dandy who died at the hands of the Pirate Queen Yamilla. She found it made a fine toothpick, since she was an ogress. When she perished at the hands of the Ragged Seven, their leader Svim kept it for his own. Svim died leaping out a window to escape an enraged husband. That lord tried to break the rapier in rage (since Svim was already broken), and failed. He threw it into the sea in a fit of rage, where the merfolk found it. They gave it to Captain Kenmar, the great privateer, who slew over thirty-seven pirates with it until he retired. Now it passes to you. The tale of this weapon must be kept secret. For it is a great blade, a magic blade, but the enchanter of the weapon values privacy. There is no maker's mark upon the blade, yet it is lighter, stronger and better than any other like it. Each wielder of this before you has pledged to secrecy as well, so that the maker cannot be found. Save that if you meet a wielder of the blade, you will each know each other has held it. Jorila the Duellist commissioned this blade. She was better than any man with a rapier. With it in her hand, she slew the Hag of the Reef. She challenged Tremra the Pirate Wight to single combat, and won. In a single night, Jorila battled from the east to the west of Port Dweomer. Those who fought honorably, she wounded. Those who were her foes, she slew. Those who wielded magic, she cut off their hands and ran them through their ankles, so that they were forever hobbled. She disappeared. You must pledge to find her if you accept this blade into your hands. [/QUOTE]
