Countess, you asked for a sword. Here is my submission.
*opens the case I was carrying and removes the sheathed sword.*
A double edge saber, forged in the heart of Desulevenes. There is no blade like her.
*Unsheathes the sword, her glimmering blade glinting in the sun.*
Her blade is a beskar alloy, forged with a Twisted Damascus pattern, San Mai’ed with a Folded Damascus heart of cortosis.
*swings the sword in a few well practiced slices.*
She has a hollow ground edge, and a coating of a mild nerve toxin and diluted Kouhun venom, giving her all the more bite.
*Runs hand down its length.*
As far as enchantments go, the only thing besides her coating and the intrinsic properties of the metal is her altered magnetic structure, she has a very high thermal tolerance and wont melt not even for a star.
*sheathes the sword, and offers it to you.*
If this sword does not fit your daughters desires, I will be happy to forge her a new one, seeing as this was more a test of ones craftsmanship than anything.
Any questions?
[spoiler] that is not all, just what I thought necessary to include here. If you want more on the sword just ask and I will pm you, or add it in another spoiler, but not the effects of the coating though, I’ll pm you those.[/spoiler]
Story.
[quote]What should a sword be?[/quote]
A hammer strikes hot steel, sending sparks scattering, to set the scene.
[quote]A weapon of destruction?[/quote]
A medieval battle with infantry clashing, blood spraying, and steel flashing.
[quote]A symbol of nobility?[/quote]
The scene shifts from medieval knights, through history, highlighting figures of esteem and nobility, ending with 1910s European aristocracy.
[quote]A relic of some arcane peacekeepers?[/quote]
Now we see the Jedi, tens of millennia before their fall at the end of the clone wars.
[quote]Or a tool of malevolence?[/quote]
The view crumbles revealing the ancient Sith of the same era, with blades equally wicked as the Jedi’s were refined.
[quote]In parts, but not in whole.[/quote]
The bladesmith cuts apart a length of metal plate, stacking it in a new order, then places it in a furnace.
[quote]What a sword should be, is what its wielder needs.[/quote]
Through presses and under hammers the steel passes between trips to the furnace, methodically taking its shape.
[quote]Nobility needs nice, light blades to be worn at all times, for the sake of an image. Soldiers need a strong sturdy blade that won’t fail them in combat. Those ancient Jedi needed a weapon that reflected the lofty aspirations after which they perused. While the Sith they faced wanted items that would further their power and might.[/quote]
Into an acid etch to highlight the patterns of the damascus.
[quote]That, is what a swordsmith would say.[/quote]
The bladesmith finishes the sword with a highly detailed clamshell guard, a hilt of Wroshyr wood rapped in nerf leather, and finished with an Ankarres sapphire pommel.
[quote]Not what a swordsman would say.[/quote]
The bladesmith wipes the sword of and inspects his work before sheathing it.
[quote]I will say that a sword should be an extension of oneself, as unique as the being who wields it. That is what I strive for in my work, to provide the best swords anyone can get.[/quote]
