Golden Sword

Location: 1103,494 - Suraia Hills

Until the famous battle at the Field of Ohot in 255 b.G.e., king Wurpugh's sword served as merely a lavish golden decoration suitable for military parades. It wasn't customary for kings to take part in infantry scuffles and it's difficult to say why this particular ruler rushed into the fiercest fighting, half way through the battle. The entire event was most peculiar, since Wurpugh one of the most serene dwarven kings began to shriek and spread death all around him. The most bewildering thing about the king's sudden intervention, was his extraordinary movement. The soldiers watched in awe as their king moved as one drugged, following the sword's movement, instead of the other way around. It looked as though the sword was pulling him criss-cross through the battlefield, against his will. The dwarfs were suspended in disbelief when the enemy at first continued to advance and then retreated in panicked flight. After the battle, the king's mages tried all possible magical procedures on the sword for months until they accidentally guessed the password. They were rendered speechless, when the sword SPOKE! Soon the appropriate scrolls were found, wherein the history of this unique weapon was written, but a mistake was made. They decided to place the sword in a shrine worthy of holding the weapon, but the sword refused and with great speed "embarked" upon an unknown location. Its "words" were only later understood. The sentence "I seek a master worthy of me" fit into the story quite well. The Golden sword, as the weapon was called, was never heard of again. It is probably still searching for a master worthy of wielding it.
