The smell of coal and heated steel permeated from the strange stone smithy, the glowing coals reflecting in every mirror-like surface...

Well, per an okay I saw I decided to make this, just 'cause I wanted to add something to this guild and 'cause I think people might find this to be fun.

Here's a few examples of things I've done, though most of these are sort of Epic in power. sweatdrop

Lawman's customized Longhorn, Peak, is slimmer than the basic Longhorn crossbow. It is of a dark redwood, worked with lions, and with a mythril bow and handle. They are also worked with lions. Its string is made of a strange metal, flexible enough to stretch like a bowstring, but much more durable, and uneffected if left strung in the rain. There are two quivers of bolts for Peak; the first is full of magical silver bolts, blessed by the shamans of his people so they can burn through most undead, and pierce some armors. The second is full of bolts that are of his own desgin. They are made from the Bloodsteel from his homeland of Thartkh'is, the Lion Peaks, the arrow head made of a special glass. The heads are shaped to look like lions' heads, filled with a concotion of explosive chemicals that burn thourgh most hides and armor. Peak is made to be handled with either one or two hands, though most Longhorns can only be used with two. It is incredibly light, and coated with a high-grade laquer so as not to break under travel-wear or battle-wear. It has a small canister under it to hold up to four bolts, with the capacity to reload four times with great ease. The slit of the Longhorn is quite slender snd precise, taking on exactly the shape of the bolt, which snaps in place as soon as it slides into it. This makes manual reloads much easier.

His Mihr?ahj blade, Slayer, does not look at all like the usual mirages, though it has mostly the same characteristics. The blade is made of Bloodsteel, the tip of the blade resembling an arrowhead. It is double-edged, the edges a silvery-grey in contrast to the blood-red of both sides of the blade. A long slim incision in the blade trails from the hilt to the itp of the blade. Like other Mirages, a twist of the pommel and hilt unlocks the multiple sections of the blade, releasing the inner chain, transforming Slayer into a bladed whip. Though with an exception, the arrowhead tip has a chain extension, which can send it farther than then the other sections. The guard of the sword is horned, resembling the forepaws of lions, the middleguard a roaring lion's head. The hilt is leather-strapped, the pommel, another roaring lion's head. With a command word, the blade can detach itself and the sections will scramble towards their target in a series of ever-changing attack formations. Another command word will set the blade aflame, assembled or dissembled.

Lawman's Baselard, Cutter, is a straight-bladed weapon, the form of a large fang, though it is also made of Bloodsteel. It has a light crook at the tip to tear open a wound on an opponent, or to puncture armor. Its handle is black with twisted leather wrapped around it, balanced to throw. When thrown, Cutter spins at a high velocity, emitting a high-pitched whistle, and usually returns to Lawman after being thrown.

Weapons: Eludrian?s unique Osric Dua, Ryuten-Kirufurya, is a large sword that is able to split into two more slender weapons. When as one, they are a 4 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 3 inch thick blade, 1 and a quarter wide at the hilt for three inches and shrinking to one foot wide until four inches before the tip where it rounds out to become a sharp ended blade-tip. The hilt resembles a pair of angels, a man and a woman holding each other in their arms, their wings spread out to become the hilt-guard. They are made of pure silver, the woman?s wings of ivory and the man?s of onyx. The blade has angel?s feathers etched in the center of the blade, going up all the way to the tip. The sword is the size of a greatsword, but can split into two swords; resembling two rapiers. They split right in the middle from the blade, but the two angels that make the hilt actually change shape; one who looks at the hilt when the sword splits can see the two angels leave each other?s arms, the woman holding herself in her arms, ivory wings spread to make the hilt-guard, while the man has his arms crossed, onyx wings spread as well. The male angel?s side of the sword has white angel feathers on the flat of the blade, while the female half of the sword has black. The blade is made of diamond-etched platinum, patterned as spider webs all across the edges. The sheath is large, and made also of silver; it is shaped like an angles wings folding around it. A thin Mythril chain keeps it on Eludrian, and is, of course, unbreakable.

First Magnus: Istolil (Endless Disease)
Second Magnus: Zilvafein (Forgotten Bane)
Grand Halberd: Ulviravae (Golden Executioner)

Weapons: Istolil was created by the Imaskari, a race of the Underdark, whom captured all matter of different creatures ? from humans to goblins, to drow elves, to giants, -- and subjugated them to a life of endless torture. Their goal to create one of the most powerful magical weapons was realized, when they had given form to Istolil.
The hilt of Istolil is one foot in length, crafted of Adamantine, with a diamond dragon twisting around it. The pommel is a perfectly cut onyx stone, clasped into a four-fingered skeletal hand crafted from Adamantine. The cross guard depicts a demon?s spread wings rising upwards, made from Obsidian. The blade is a foot and a half in width, as well as a fifth of a foot in thickness and four and a half feet in length. It is comprised of quartz imbued with Shadow magic, forbidden even in the Underdark. Throughout the blade veins of a dark substance seem to pulsate endlessly, a mark of the magic?s power, granting the blade indestructibility. A slender slab of Mythril is embedded in the center of the blade, with the runes that grant the sword its other powers.
Istolil is a sentient weapon, capable of thought, among other things. Istolil is telepathic, communicating with its master through the power of its telekinetic powers. With its telekinetic powers comes the ability to move itself, making it quite a dangerous weapon. Istolil cannot, and will not, be touched by any other than its current owner; if any attempt to wield it, or merely touch it, their existence will be torn from reality.

Zilvafein was crafted by the Ehr?Thul, in honor of Rath?s return to them. The Ehr'Thul are an elitist and empyreal race, their ways fraught with the mind set that they are the superior race, and thus are to be the only ones to remain in the High Realms.
The head of the Avatar of Woe, Rath?s first victim, was used to make its cross guard. The skull?s maw opens to hold the blade within, the large spine made erect to serve as the hilt. The skull and spine were dipped in boiling Blood Steel, giving the hilt and cross guard a deep bloody red sheen. The blade is of the exact length, width, and thickness as Istolil?s blade. It is wrought of a combination of Blood steel and obsidian, creating a dark-reddish blade, marbled with black obsidian. The black obsidian veins converge to form an eye at the tip of the blade; for it seems that the soul of the Avatar was as of yet still within the bones.
It is of telekinetic nature, its hungering for violence and carnage kept alive by the sword. Along with abilities similar to Istolil, Zilvafein?s hunger for combat is so strong that it will search out the target, never missing its target. When getting a kill, the veins enlarge, and the eye opens.

Ulviravae was created to be a perfect weapon, forged by the same ancient race who were reputed to have forged the Eternal Armor that the Eternal Emperor is said to wear as proof of his position.
Made to be wielded as a Halberd, Ulviravae is a warrior upon itself; it is a sentient weapon, capable of complicated strategies and the ability to play with someone?s mind at its own leisure. The shaft is three meters of height, made of some unknown metal that shines a dark, dull golden color. Its markings twist all around it, possibly in their native tongue. The head is a large piece of brighter metal of golden sheen, shaped to form a twisted, jagged blade closed around the axe-head. The back of the axe-head is a scythe?s blade, two feet and a half in length. Its edge is serrated, and grows black before it strikes. The poison forged into the blade is constant, now part of the weapon. The axe-blade is a third of a foot thick, with a foot-and-a-half long arced blade. The blade seems to have an edge within the edge, cutting through most anything within its path as if two blades were striking simultaneously at the exact precise location.
Due to the weapon?s powers, it can warn its master of any oncoming threats, and deflects the attacks of immediate ones.

I not only make weaponry, but outfits and other forms of equipment. n.n
