[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 2243355, member: 63"] Ooh, what's that one do? And while the Holy Grail is an obvious answer, it's been done too much. Likewise, no Lance of Longinus/Spear of Destiny. I need something a bit more obscure. If the game somehow turns incredibly comic between now and then, it will end up being the National Treasure, complete with "Ooh, scrolls from the library at Alexandria." Ugh, that movie saddened me. In the setting I have, dragons don't have a fear aura. Instead, they have any aura that stuns or knocks unconscious fey and magic-users, which is why the stories are always about knights fighting dragons, not wizards. I wonder if I could do anything along those lines. Some sort of powerful weapon? Well, let's go down the list of ancient items that existed by the 4th or 5th century, that aren't around today: The Holy Grail, Spear of Destiny, Crown of Thorns Weapons of various mighty warlords -- Caesar, Alexander, etc. Excalibur. Hmm. That's always a nice one. I know most stories say the Lady of the Lake gave it to Arthur, but I recall there were a few others. Anyone remember any details. Grendel's arm. [/QUOTE]
