Divine Fury

This unique rapier is indeed a glorious sight to behold. The blade is crafted of reddish-gold bronze with a silver edge, the guard a finely polished platinum, the wire-wound hilt a reflective obsidian, the pommel a glittering waterstone, and the balance as graceful to wield as the weapon is to look upon.

When drawn, the Divine Fury (as the weapon is known) shimmers a rainbow of furious hues; the crimson-gold of the blade glittering like fire, accented by the sparkle of the silver edges that shine as if the weapon were blessed by the Light itself. The Divine Fury is a Bronze Rapier by all definitions of the word, featuring a narrow 37-inch blade connected to a 8-inch hilt, granting the rapier an unusually long length of 45-inches. Though designed primarily for thrusting attacks like other rapiers, the Divine Fury appears to have been designed with mounted combat in mind, for while this may be a sword with a rapier hilt, the narrow blade itself has been forged for military service; evident upon the weapon in that the rapier has a sharply tapering blade, allowing the weapon to maintain great thrusting potential while allowing for stout blows to be rained upon those who would dare stand in its way It is unclear as to how the crimson-gold of the bronze was forged, but the unusual hue of the blade has not been forsaken by the majestic hilt it attaches to: octagonal bars of platinum sweep around the hilt in gracefully flowing designs, terminating in finals which mirror the elaborate waterstone pommel. The hilt remains bound with obsidian wire around the leather grip, finished with the addition of a platinum thumb ring linked below the guard - akin to those of Parrying Knives - to allow greater control over the graceful rapier.

"In the night there came the rain of fire, which crashed as though an avalanche of stone. There were craters in the square, and inside upon the reflection of the pools within were the stars, from which we forged out vengeance and took back the land of Light from the creatures of Shadow."

The writings of a Scourge with whom the Divine Fury was apparently buried, explaining how a poor village could possess the weapons to challenge the minions of Shadow that laid waste to their town, and how the town was united under the cause of the Light in doing so.

The account has never been verified, though the Divine Fury was the supposed outcome of the Scourge's part in the event. It also remains unclear as to when this event was supposed to have taken place, or in what Township. Regardless, it cannot be discounted that the Divine Fury is a curious weapon indeed; both in regards to history, and the unusual craftsmanship of the beautiful rapier in general.
