Baardensang

Baardensang, Scorned Disappointment
Artifacts
Name	Baardensang, Scorned Disappointment
Origin	Viridian Order
Type	Weapon

Baardensang was commissioned by Emperor Cedromar I as a gift for a specific person, however this person soon disappeared, and the weapons were left carelessly abandoned by the side of the road somewhere in a box. Baardensang are two weapons, one longsword and one arming-sword sized spata, both made out of Blacksteel with intricate Fornoss and Unionist symbolism on the blade itself, as well as a green tassel. The symbology implies Unionism burning down Fornoss symbology, however the depictions could be interpreted in many different ways. Baardensang remains unfound again, after it was lost by the previous owner, rumored to be somewhere in Regalia, to be found by someone in their deepest state of miserable disappointment. Rumor has it the original intended recipient of Baardensang was a Viridian Knight, but in the absence of its intended owner, the weapon was instead used in a pivotal moment during the charge of the last Viridians in the Lo Occupation.

Appearance

Baardensang is not a single weapon, but two, 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 engraving, and green leather binding and tassels. It is said that Baardensang sings together, with both swords swung in unison producing beautiful wind-chime like sounds.

Legendary Artifactspark Mechanics

• Choose 1 Free Pack from the following Category: Melee Point Buy
• Unique: Baardensang represents the peak of martial skill and prowess. Whenever the user makes an out of combat Dice Roll using Strength, they always succeed at the highest result. (Remember, Strength may not always be capable of solving all problems, even if successful). Additionally, whenever the user uses the Ability Technique Parry, its Cooldown is reduced from 1 Hour to 20 Minutes.
• The Legendary Artifactspark Weapon grants the user +3 Attack Stat (breaks cap up to 11) and +1 Defense Stat (breaks cap up to 9), and sets the minimum for their Attack Dice Rolls to 5. When the user is KO’d, they can choose to instantly teleport them, and the Artifact, safely to their home. This can only be done once (and must be reported to Lore Staff). Subsequent uses of this teleport mechanic must sacrifice the Artifact’s Spark in order to teleport the user and the Artifact. The Artifact is considered de-sparked, and the Artifactspark is granted to whoever KO’d the user.
