Message: <blockquote data-quote="RedWick" data-source="post: 3421788" data-attributes="member: 29119">Eberron.A thousand years before Xoriat open upon the ancient Dhakaani, a demon tried to wage a war against the goblinoid nations.  A coatl, working with the best weaponsmiths of the time, crafted seven swords.  Each sword was inscribed with a mystic squiggle (aka schema).  When all the swords were placed and arranged in a particularly auspicious location and a ritual was enacted over them allowing the coatl sacrifice itself in an attempt to bind the demon.  It worked and the demon has remained bound for the past several thousand years.  The swords were distributed amongst the various Dhakaani tribes, going to the leaders of said tribes.  Each tribe rose in power and the swords came to be recognized as emblems of power and whatnot.  Over time, the swords were lost or buried with their wielders or whatever.  Eventually the swords drifted into legend, and then into myth.Enter the PCs.  With the end of the war and an interest in surveying the ruins dotting the landscape, some evidence of the swords existence has come to light.  Currently, there are three groups looking for the swords.  The Heirs of Dhakaan, who wish to use the swords to restore the former glory of the ancient Dhakaani by crushing the other civilizations(bad); The modern nation of Darguun, who simply want to keep the swords away from the Heirs and establish their nation as a legitimate modern power (somewhat good); and a group of cultist worshippers who have discovered the location of the ancient seal binding the demon and who need the swords to weaken/break the seal (very bad).The PCs have just recovered one sword from a group of Dhakaani.  I haven't figured out where the rest are quite yet.</blockquote>
