Infamous And Famous Named Sword And Weapons Game

[lemec]

Inspired by the 'Need help with names of the Black Sword' thread.

Each player chooses one "Named" weapon from a science-fiction, sword and sorcery or fantasy universe and add it to this thread, one at a time.

Unlike other games, this has no order other than that, chaos is encouraged here. :D

Please write the name of the weapon,type(if you want) and who wields it and/or what world it is from. Thanks! Players can post as many names as they want to, but only one per reply. The number of the item shall be one. :lol:

Anyway as an example, I shall begin with:


Name: Courflame

Type: Sword (possibly a broadsword)

Character: Gord The Rogue (Ally of Rexfelis-The Cat Lord)

Universe: 'Greyhawk World' Oerth, Flaeness

Description: Made from two swords,one half is crystal,one half is black.

[Eldren Rogue]

Type: Sword (appears to be a long sword)

Character: Morgaine kri Chya

Universe: CJ Cherryh's Gates series, not specifically named

Description: Forged from a crystal like substance that receives and channels the power of the Gates, the blade is engraved with runic script that spells out the operation of the Gates. The hilt is shaped as a dragon, arms forming the cross piece, tail curling about as the hand guard, jaws clenching the blade. When drawn fully from its sheath, it flares with an opalescent light and a well of utter blackness opens at its tip. Changling is itself a gate, one that casts what it drinks to the void.
