Popular Post wolfie2kX 528 Posted December 8, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2015 There are a lot of books in Sacred, but you gotta think there could have been a few more... Like this one: Oblivion Armaments The Oblivion Armaments initiative was an experiment by Comrade Chancellor Vladimir DeMordrey during the reign of Aarnum III. Chancellor DeMordrey, being typically power hungry as most of his lineage, decided to bring together all of the blacksmiths, sword, bow and armor makers to flood the market with cheap weapons and armor in a bid to raise an army to take over Ancaria. The sales pitch for these products was: “Our Weapons Will Send Your Enemies to Oblivion.” While it is true the weapons and armor were inexpensive, quality suffered as the various smiths were in such a rush to get these arms made, they ceased putting any care into the finished product. The Chancellor DeMordrey was summarily executed following the failed coup attempt as his troops, unable to put a dent in the royal guard’s armor fled in terror and were mowed down by the king’s cavaliers. Much of the weapons and armor made by the group now renamed Oblivion Armaments was seized by the royal army and melted down, however, the sheer number of weapons and armor that was created made it impossible to collect all of this misbegotten junk. In addition, many of DeMordrey’s soldiers who were killed in battle were buried with their weapons and armor as a sign of their shame. The smiths involved in the creation of these abysmal weapons were all sentenced to ten years hard labor for being willing accomplices to DeMordrey’s treachery and production of such substandard items. The smiths collectively argued that this was their plan and that DeMordrey had gained their cooperation by taking their families hostage. The jurists were moved by this argument and as such the sentence was reduced from being drawn and quartered to the one given. The jurists’ counterargument was simply this: “All it would have taken is just ONE of you to have the stones to have put a flaming arrow in Vlad DeMordrey’s eye socket to have ended this farce before fifty thousand people died needlessly.” 2 Link to comment
Popular Post wolfie2kX 528 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2015 Another book that "could have been" - had Prince Valor lived long enough to put it out there. Green Ancaria A quick note to all of the heroes running around the kingdom these days... PLEASE pick up all of the stuff that your enemies drop when you kill them. In the wake of the recent undead uprising, there have been a lot of casualties and consequently, the kingdom has become cluttered by lots of useless swords, axes, armor and other gear that quite frankly, is becoming an eyesore. 2 Link to comment
