📜 Karma

“Karma works in a deceptively simple way: It will auto-target open spots during a battle and cause harm to the enemy immediately AS LONG as they deserve it. The blade will also deflect and parry instantly any attacks towards the wielder"

📜 Trident of the Sunken King

“Found deep in the blue abyss, the weight of this weapon is impressive… They say it weighs as much as a full whale… but when you hold it underwater it’s as light as a feather… "

Swordtember Day 24 - Venom

Envenomed Blade of Archprincess Liagria of the Lilies

#Swordtember2025 #Swordtember #ConceptArt #Lore

On old paper, a painting of a greenish hued short sword. There is text, it reads:

24. Venom

Envenomed Blade of Archprincess Liagria of the Lilies

The Archcrown has long been supported by a quasi-religious order of (mostly) women of noble birth trained in various clandestine arts named the Daughters of the Lily. This support ranges from assassinations to covert missions to foreign courts. Daughters of the Lily are often assigned as innocent seeming ladies-in-waiting to members of the Archroyal family but double as skilled bodyguards.

This order was founded by the Archprincess Liagria of the Lilies, who had learned the ways of shortsword and dagger and had an extensive knowledge of poisons. These techniques would be passed on from noble mother to daughter over many generations.

Archprincess Liagria is credited amongst the Daughter of the Lilies with the assassination of her brother, the Archking Liagrius II. Liagrius II had been a violent and capricious man and in the eyes of many at the time, would have been a disaster for the still relitively new Llameryn-Leolinius Dynasty. Her fratricide cleared the path for her brother, Clovis I, to become Archking (at that early time, women were not yet able to inherit the Archcrown).

Daughters of the Lily assert that the assassination was carried out with this very envenomed blade and often base the designs for their own blades on it.

Venom - a very thin shortsword. the grip is fashioned to look like a lily with a snake wrapping around it. the snake's head ends on the blade and its tail goes up the grip and ends up wrapping around the pommel which is fashioned to look like a lily about to bloom. there is a dark ichor dripping down the blade.

Swordtember Day 18 - Beetle

Siwari Wing Blade

#Swordtember2025 #Swordtember #ConceptArt #Lore

painting of a sword on old paper. There is text, it reads:
18. Beetle

Siwari Wing Blade

Made from scavenged wing cases and wings of a large beetle native to the Bluestone Desert, the sharp wing is fused with a metal hilt using esoteric rituals understood only by the Yarerin clan of Viðezel, the House of Smiths.

These wing blades are often employed by members of the Siwari, guardians who patrol the vast deserts of Yarezel deterring any outsiders from venturing too close to the few remaining Elven cities. The Siwari also guard shipments of Bluestone for the Blue Hand Syndicate - the only organisation that sells Bluestone to the rest of the known world…

Beetle - a slightly curved blade. the hand guard is made of an irridescent beetle wing casing and the pommel is topped with the end of a beetle's foot. the blade begins as golden metal and merges into a thin blue beetles wing.

I quickly fix messy topology from bevel and inset in Blender using MESHmachine's Unf*ck tool, then bring the bevel back to its original shape with the Unbevel tool.
