Back to the 100 Swords of Sepathok
<< Frostingdeath | Sward of Adjectivity >>
Dark Doomblade of Magical Overarching Darkness
Forged while the legendary Forge-King of the Dwarves Gragnakas was undergoing a "goth" period, the sword was meant to convey his utter contempt for life and color, and is exquitisitly decorated with skulls, roses, dragons, cute mice, and other regalia of horror.
However, Gragnakas got really drunk while making it, and instead of imbuing a mystical air of darkness and fear, the sword blinded him, and forced him to endlessly spew forth bad, dreary poetry. Once he sobered up and realized what he created, he sold it to the brooding anti-hero Tal'Thak and went back to work. Shezdor is believed to have found the sword still being clutched by the corpse of Tal'Thak, who had died of a massive blow to the head that he apparently didn't see coming.
Shezdor was later slain by the Weird Thing, who took this blade and mailed it in an anonymous valentine to Heeroh Troughberry (the war refugee), seemingly as a way to get rid of it. Heeroh was a poor warrior at best, but his daughter Orphenna set it to good use, plunging it through the Omni Scarf and into Zenethir Foulblade's neck. Zenethir died instantly. Orphenna left the sword impaling Zenethir, pinning his corpse to the wall.
Discussion
I thought that it was Selent who sold the sword to Tal'Thak. -Tim |
I think that Tal'Thak ended up giving it back to Gragnakas for some reason, then he wanted it back but by then Selent had it. Later he sold it to Sepathok and then he recovered it again after Sepathok's untimely death only to meet his own demise at the hands of Shezdor. I can't remember why Tal'Thak sold away this sword though, either the first or second time. -bfg00 |
