Description A blade designed by a nelri artisan. Other than that, little is known about its origin. However, judging by its design, it may have been forged for a bladesinger's hand. The jewels within the guard are fashioned in way to represent the unity between the three moons closely orbitting the mother planet, Aikurisu. If this is so, it's likely this dates back to the nelri worship of Rothelim and his known three daughters from Esha's womb.

Another beauty. You make such artistic weapon look realistic. Just enough detail to give it life.

I love the green and blue color scheme!!!!! and the almost-cream color of the weapon itself! gorgeous!

Aikurisu In reply to PoldalleLovesnare [2009-04-06 07:08:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks.

The almost-cream colour was basically me trying to achieve an antiquated look about this. Didn't want rust, persay, but something that spoke a touch of discolouration over the years.

mmmmm...I see, I see. To me it seemed ..I dunno...spiritual/magical almost but I can say the whole of the weapon has an "aged" feel to it

Very unique and once again the lore fits perfectly. You show the known history of the world in it's weapons like how people would once do a very long time ago. ^^

Hehe, thanks. ^_^

Hopefully, by the time I've written an actual short story, people may be able to identify with the world better from all these tellings.

LunasKiss In reply to Aikurisu [2009-04-10 02:32:12 +0000 UTC]

yeah, or at least make them think twice about what they already know and what could be. I love creation stories, the Japanese one is pretty neat, well the one I read about...I'm sure there's a few.

Aikurisu In reply to LunasKiss [2009-04-12 06:44:22 +0000 UTC]

A Japanese creation story?

lol, I think I'm coming close to finally deciding on what to write my first short story on too... though, maybe not. I need to think of something I'm actually capable of. x_x

LunasKiss In reply to Aikurisu [2009-04-13 06:30:59 +0000 UTC]

yeah, like one of the tales they would tell about how the world came to be...

Well that's good...and I'm sure you'd be capable of it! It'll probably take time but sure you can do it.

Nice colours but the edges of the blade look a little bit too soft for my taste, especially the tip.

Hehe, thanks mate. And hopefully I'll have a few drawn sooner than later. May be a little contention between them and the zaira bladedancers though. The later will be easier to draw for their... kind of appeal.
