Moon-Breaker (“the breaker of blades”)

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.

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.
