Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mad_Jack" data-source="post: 6959702" data-attributes="member: 6750306">An adamantine and platinum sword pommelThis decoration identifies the weapon it adorns as a Sword of Heroes, one of the 126 weapons given to those who fought at the legendary last battle of Three Forks as members of the Iron Legion mercenary troop. Out of the five hundred soldiers, only 126 survived the battle, in which they held off an invading force almost ten times their number and turned the entire course of the war.Although the pommel contains only a minor enchantment that renders all damage the sword does magical, the true magic of the Sword of Heroes is in the social implications of carrying one. Possessing such a sword marks one as a national hero. Anyone who sees the sword is automatically well-disposed towards the bearer and likely to render whatever assistance they can. However, the bearer is also likely to be constantly called upon to tell the story of his actions in that fateful battle, and woe betide anyone carrying such a blade if they haven't earned it...Next item: A sack containing broken bits of small children's toys such as lead soldiers and wooden animals</blockquote>
