Goblin Blades

[goderic]

So I created a blacksmith Goblin character, than read about these mysterious Goblin Blades in a couple places across the site. I don't really know much about them or how they're created or anything, but one way of introducing Goderic to the storyline could be him crafting a Goblin Blade for someone, or something else related to the creation of Goblin Blades as he is a Goblin blacksmith, and the Goblin Blades seem like an interesting plot aspect, which would make sense for him to be involved with. Though, again, I don't know much about Goblin Blades, so far all I know they can't even be crafted anymore.

The Goblin Blades are an organization of the greatest, most powerful fighters of Alanor. They do traditionally have Goblin-crafted blades, but those weapons are usually gifted to them by the Fate, I believe.

Goblin Blades themselves are very special weapons - they can cut harder than regular weapons, and if I remember correctly, they can deal mortal wounds to the fae. Even Sidhe. They're not something that are easily handed around.

[Skylla]

Folie is correct. The govlin blades are given out only to those who have earned them and are forged in a mysterious manner from the exinct true goblin race (not the garlanger goblin race). They are unbreakable, but they cannot deal mortal wounds to faerie.

There will be a goblin blade coming within the next few weeks, so stayed tuned. In the meantime, go to your court and introduce yourself to the monarch and those who are in the court. Alliances are important, as is courtly politics.

Hmm, ok. Goderic isn't the type to search people out though, he prefers his privacy, and thus wouldn't be likely to come looking for the monarchs as he's been a fixture of the court for more than a century. Perhaps the queen could send him, as the greatest goblin blacksmith since the true race went extinct, to find the secrets of his dead people, or she (or someone else) could come to him for something to be forged? He hates the fae and their politics almost as much as the bitter iron taste and hopelessness of the human world, so he wouldn't be one to come to the court and re-introduce himself after over a century. He can be found either in his chamber, his small but elaborate smithery, forging new items or racing across the land above ground, riding his Bison mantel.

Why don't you send him riding somewhere like Exordium? My character Hawk likes to fly around as her hawk mantel. She would probably attempt to engage him in conversation if you want a rp buddy

Should have been posted from this account, my b.
