Moon-Breaker (“the breaker of blades”)
Posted on September 1, 2024 in Steel-Realms
Moon-Breaker the blade of the dark gods. Very little is known about, as it has vanished for thousands of years… it assumed to be lost or sundered in the wars between the Sea King enclaves around the Raj Sea when The Sundering happens in CY 5000. About it, it was said that a wielder and onlooker could feel its weight not just in the hand, but “… its blunt weight felt like a cold weight on the spirit and mind.” It was a tool of malice personified, and exuded the bitterness and hatred of its maker – the dark elves in conjunction with Sun Stealer. Its very shadow was like a “… spreading of black wings” when unsheathed. So evil was the blade, even Sun Stealer himself was loathe to wield it without great cause.

So evil was the blade, even Sun Stealer himself was loathe to wield it without great cause.The blade has a sinister black light on its edge. In darkness it looks like black water. The blood that it lets turns black, looking as if the surface of the blade is splashing itself across the area.
Common Knowledge / Easy Difficulty
Dissonant whispers eminate from the weapon. It is quiter when in daylight.
Rare Knowledge / Very Hard Difficulty
Stone Cutter was forged to fight Moon-Breaker. Once the blade breaking Stone Cutter was fielded, Sun Stealer developed as fear of wielding the Moon-Breaker, because each time he did or lent its manifestation, Stone Cutter would be unleashed. In the edges of the Orrishai and the Dark Lands are many a collapsed peak that cast a protective shadow and was hewn down, exposing Orrish to the Sun-Bane. This must have been at great cost; Neither blade was wielded much after the other went into ‘hiding’. The true purpose and animosity of the blades to each other has mostly been lost to time. Stone Cutter would occasionally be used, taken from the Hall of Heroes, but without its greater purpose, most of its powers (while impressive) were underused.The Shielders of Pomata

Raising a force against the Necromancer of Vale Evander
The Necromancer is said to have an attendant now, someone named The Silt Man. He has laid siege to a couple of the ancient towers in the Vale Evander, the combined might of the wizards of the Vale Evander has held firm and defenses have not yet been breached, though many have died and clouds of residual corrupt magic roll across the land for days before dispersing.
They coordinated and lead a force of High Kings soldiers and stormfront hillfolk in a three way attack with the Merchant City Coin Riders mercenary band and Hadzyhn Greenshimmer the elven general of Ynth with an army of spear and bow.
They plan to converge on the broken dam of Turtleback. It is said the necromancer has amassed an army of skeletons and zombies. Also with him is an army of blights that his powers have drained of life from Ynth. The Silt Man commands these blights.
