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.

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 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.

-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.

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.

 ==Artifact Mechanics==
-Baardensang is a Unionist God Magic Artifact. There are rules associated with Artifact Ownership, see the [[Artifact]] Page. Artifacts also provide 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.

-====Permanent Mechanics====
+===Permanent Mechanics===
-* Baardensang grants the user a +2 to Attack Stat (breaks cap up to 11) in an Honor Duel, or in combat with a Knight accused of being dishonorable. Be aware that accusing knights of dishonor left and right may lead to consequences with those orders or those very same knights.
+*
-====Artifactspark Mechanics====
+===Sparked Mechanics===
-* Choose 2 Free Packs from the following Categories: Melee Point Buy, Training Point Buy, Veteran Point Buy
+*
-* Baardensang has led Viridian Charges since the Lo Occupation, and the brave spirits of knights who have since passed look on with interest to its wielder. A wielder of Baardensang gains the Chapter mechanics from two of the following Viridian or Bloodcast schools: Hohenfels, Eulenberg, Basileon, Forneik.
+*
-* When in battle with Viridians against or alongside Baardensang’s user, gain +2 to Defense Stat (Breaks cap up to 9).
+===Sparked Combat Mechanics===
-====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.
+==Collectible Artifact==
-* 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.
