Forum Event - Legendary Weaponsmith
This event relies on our member's creativity in designing their own Artifact Weapon with
visuals, theme, special powers and story behind the weapon's existence.
Event Rules:
- The artwork must be original. Copying artwork from the game won't do well. To be fair with people who aren't artists, they may use art from other games, but that isn't as much valuable as original art.
- Weapon name must be World of Warcraft-like, meaning that Doom's Doomray of Doom isn't a fitting name for this event. The NPC who used to wield it, should be original as well, may even be one of the player's characters name.
- Create a story for the weapon. No Artifact Weapon is Legendary without a good story behind it. Tell who wield it first, when, for what and where it has been lost, according to the legends. These are examples to help you get started.
- Special Powers. Pick a theme fitting the class and specialization the weapon would be for. You can explain some divergences with the story, but a weapon for a Rogue that throws fireballs would be hard to justify, for example. Also, make sure to create a realistic item. It's meant to be powerful, but also something that could be in the game without destroying balance. Absurdly powerful items will just be disqualified and not considered (ex. a weapon that sunders entire worlds).
Event Rewards:
The best designs, elected by the Staff will win the following rewards:
- Forum Reward: Forum Title "Legendary Weaponsmith"
- In-game Reward: one specific transmogrification of choice + item (except Legendaries).
There will be a community poll on the forum as well, in which the winner wil be given the following rewards:
- Forum Reward: Forum Title "Legendary Weaponsmith"
Note: If you have previously won this event and have the title, you may choose to be granted "Legendary Weaponsmith+"
Windshredder, Cursed Blade of the Berserker
After the events of the First war and the growing threat of the newly formed Horde, the Alliance of Lordaeron needed strong and brave warriors to defend the human kind from the filth that crossed The Dark Portal. But what is a strong and brave warrior without his masterfully forged weapon ?. Every man, who was trained in the art of war was destined to become a fierce warrior but not every tool of war was destined to become a worthy weapon for the proud and mighty defenders of the human race. Because of this, the Council of the Seven Nations assigned a young blacksmith, named Alfred Scmied to go to the mysterious and very skilled elvish blacksmiths and the strong and also very skilled dwarven weapon masters and learn the secrets that make one weapon a great one. He spend all his youth learning and developing his blacksmithing skills to the point that both elvish and dwarven craftsman acknowledged him as an equal, which was unheard by that time. At the age of 35 he returned to the humans and was given a task to create a powerful weapon that would help the warriors of the Alliance. So the once young blacksmith, now a skilled craftsman started to work day and night to forge the perfect weapon.
The two-handed sword was enormous, yet light as a feather. It looked like you can’t wield it even with your two hands, but after you grab it you feel that the sword is as light as a stick. Alfred decided that he will test the sword, he grabbed it and lift it high above his head. The sword felt almost like a child’s toy, but as he struck down the nearest piece of wood that was laying on the dirty floor the air split in two, just like the peace of wood. From there he took the name of the sword - Windshredder. Young Alfred, always wanted to be a warrior. As a small boy his grandmother told him many stories about the vicious and strong warriors, who could split a man in half with a single strike of their sword. From there he decided to name the sword Windshredder, Blade of the Berserker.
As he grow up, his father – the only blacksmith in the small town near Lordaeron, started to pass the family craft to the young Alfred, but the boy wanted to be trained as a warrior. One day in the small town arrived a knight, who was send to recruit young boys to be trained in the art of war. Alfred immediately sprinted to the knight and begged to be trained, but the knight refused, because the boy was too short and too skinny to be trained. Then Alfred decided that he will become a blacksmith – just like his father and continue the family craft.
The Council saw the sword, and decided that this masterful blade must be wield into battle by a great and mighty warrior like Bron Evencane, a proud defender of the human race and a captain in the wars to come. Captain Bron accepted the sword from Alfred and the council gave him his next assignment – March on Blackrock Spire !
The Alliance forces, not only humans, but elves, dwarves and gnomes marched on the greatest bastion of the Horde at Blackrock Mountain. Bron was at the front line, together with his squad of knights and his mighty blade – Windshredder. He charged through the orcs with such force that with every strike at least five orcs were split in half. They were doing good, until Bron heard a voice, an orcish voice behind him.The orc was looking directly at Windshredder. Bronn charged the orc and cut his head off, but not before the warlock finished the spell. The captain felt it, but he kept slashing through the orcs until suddenly he dropped the blade. After the battle was over, and the Alliance won, one of the elves found Captain Bron, barely breathing, surrounded by hundreds of dead orc’s. His legendary sword was at his side but he couldn’t lift it, no one could.
The orcish warlock, cursed the blade so that if you wield that sword into battle, you must pay a great price and possibly it may cost your …. life ! Because of this the blade is now called Windshredder, Cursed Blade of the Berserker. The whereabouts of the sword are currently lost, because the blade haven’t been used since battle of Blackrock Mountain.
