Baardensang, Scorned Disappointment, was initially commissioned by Emperor Cedromar as a gift to one of his favored champions, rumored to have been a Viridian Knight. However, this champion soon disappeared before the Emperor delivered the gift to them, and the weapons were left carefully abandoned by the side of the road somewhere in a box. It was said that the Artifact was re-discovered by a former Viridian, now Bloodcast Knight, in their deepest state of miserable disappointment, after visiting the ruins of the Viridian Castle destroyed in the Lo Occupation. It was carried by this knight for a time, until a chance meeting with the abdicated Emperor prompted the Bloodcast to place the weapons at the ruins, where they were eventually picked up by another Viridian Knight, repeating the cycle of wielders who carried Baardensang for a time, only to discard it in a similar manner.
==Description==
Baardensang is classified as a Weapon Artifact, meaning it cannot be wielded at the same time with other Weapon Artifacts by the same owner. It is not a single weapon, but two blades, one being a longsword and the other being a shortsword, both with similar designs and inseparable, as some unseen force keeps these two weapons together. Both weapons are made of Blacksteel with a brilliant silver shine, silver engravings of intricate Fornoss and Unionism symbolism on the blades themselves, and green leather binding and tassels.
Schooling is a [[Proficiency#Point-Buy|Point-Buy]] mechanic that allows a Character to have attended a major academy or institution somewhere in the world and gotten an education there. Each school costs 3 Proficiency Points to have attended. When you purchase a pack, specify which School of that pack you attended on your Character Application. Attending a school gives a Character the bragging right of having gone there, but also a unique mechanic that can be used in Progressions to reflect their higher education, and a function that can be used in-game. Whether or not a school blocks students is indicated by the 'Open' or 'Only' next to its name. Open means anyone can go. Only means only the Race or Culture that runs the school can go. There is no cap on how many schools your Character can have attended, although it should make sense in the Backstory you have written up for them. Some packs can be bought multiple times, to get more schools of that pack, but this doesn't apply to all packs. Check the descriptions for more information.
==Artifact Mechanics==
Artifact Mechanics are split between Permanent Mechanics, Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics. Permanent Mechanics are always available to the wielder of the Artifact. Sparked Mechanics and Sparked Combat Mechanics are only available if the Artifact has an Artifactspark. Sparked Combat Mechanics are noted separately, because this makes them easier to find, but they are no different from Sparked Mechanics in general. For more information on Artifactsparks, read the [[Resources#Artifacts|Resources]] Page. For Rules on Artifact ownership, see the [[Artifacts]] Page.

==Collectible Artifact==
Artifacts are very cool, and make a Character super powerful. That being said, due to circumstances of Roleplay, a Character may end up holding onto an Artifact for months on end. This is generally not a problem, but we believe that Artifacts because of their uniqueness, should never be held onto in perpetuity by one Player. After a few months, it is time for the next player to be able to enjoy the artifact, and for this reason, Collectibles exist. After 120 days of non-consecutive Artifact ownership, an Artifact is automatically confiscated, and the Player who lost it is given a Collectible. Collectibles are thematically and aesthetically similar to the Artifact, meaning the loss of an Artifact does not visually detract from a Character's established design. However, they cannot hold Artifactsparks and only inherit the Permanent Mechanics from the Artifact they were generated from (including the rules limiting their use). On the other hand, Collectibles can never be stolen from their owner, a Collectible is owned forever, and there is no upper limit to the amount of Collectibles a Character can have, or wield/use at the same time. Collectibles may be traded away by their owner if they are unable to use the Permanent Mechanic due to the use limitation. To summarize this Artifact's Collectible properties:
Marty Will Fill This In
The Chivalric Blade Collectible inherits the Permanent Mechanic of Baardensang, but can only be used by Knights who remain loyal to the Emperor and their Order. While there are several Chivlaric Blades, each looks unique, though should be inspired by the appearance of Baardensang.

*Certain Knightly Orders allow their members to learn the equivalent of certain School Types during their training. Knights who wish to learn these School Types may invest the 3 points per Type where applicable, but cannot attend any other schools in the same Type category. Furthermore, Knights cannot claim any of the Backstory Rights, as their membership to their Knightly Order is a lifelong commitment. The Bloodcast Order is the exception to this, and their Knights may freely join any Schooling they wish.
