[Revenant]

Most people have heard of the Sword of Fury and many also have seen it. The Sword of Fury can be seen at Rookgaard, it's at the red marker on the screenshot of the map. You leave rookgaard to the north, then cross the bridge of there water to the west, proceed north, along the troll tower to a small hill with a minotaur on top of it. Next to it lies a very small isle. On that isle are some fire fields with a spiked sword in the centre. If you read the sign, that is on the mainland, you read that "only the humble may touch the sword of fury".



But seeing it is not enough. We want the sword of fury. This took me a long time to discover and stuff. I travelled to the mainland, went to the Isle of Kings and found a book with the orcish language there. I learned it, then got rooked again. From there I moved to the Blind Orc and asked him about the Sword of Fury. He said a great orcish blacksmith created a sword, a humble warrior fought with it against the human intruders and when a mage fired a strong fire spell, the sword absorbed it. The warrior died. It was taken to a lone isle near his place of birth. Far before the isle of Rookgaard was even discovered by the humans. The orc was buried, his sword was placed above is grave, surrounded by the eternal fire.
In centuries the spell weakened. The fire left the sword and now remains eternally beneath it. I decided to ask no more but when I told the old orc that I had to go, he told me one more thing:


"Even though you are a simple man, you took time to understand us orcs. You think about what you do, the way I do. The problem is I started it when I became blind, you know how to be humble. So I tell you this. We orcs live around a magic circle on this island. It consists out of stones, surrounding a ritual place. The cave to the grave of the ancient warrior lies beneath."






So I went to that circle, defined on the map above. You all know it, if you ever explored Rookgaard at least. Long pointy stones stand in a circle, 8 pieces exactly. In the centre is a smaller stone. It looked different to me so I decided to try out some things. After wasting 20 weapon types, 2 pickaxes, some orc skulls, 3 months and all my muscles, I knew it wouldn't work. Suddenly I had an idea. Loui, the monk you can find outside the town of Rookgaard, to the west, in the premium area, is a herbalist. I spoke with him and he said he has seen a magical explosion in a cave to the north and he found a way to reproduce it.
After some hammering he finally told me the ingredients of his... exploding potion. I needed to find 1 Moon Flower, 3 Shadow Herbs, 3 Fern and 8 Powder Herbs. I used the mill to make powder from this all. Then I went to the goblins, and caught 2 of the stones they threw at me. After it all, I went back to the stone bridge. I placed the powder in a circle around the rock before I used the 2 stones to create a spark. The powder was enlightened, the Monk warned me but I wanted to see it all so it exploded into my face.







When I came back after respawning, I saw two people wondering where the rock in the centre went. I tricked them by saying Seymour gave away some starter gold if you asked him for help below level 5 (They were level 3 and level 4). I had complete freedom, I used my pickaxe on the revealed dirt tile. There I encountered a cave. It was dark in there and I forgot my torch. I used my hands to find a wall, then followed that along the road. The cave went strengthly to the south. It took me more then a day to reach the end and there it was; A small monument with dwarven symbols carved into it. I learned many languages to be sure to survive and I can currently communicate with minotaurs, orcs, dwarves, cyclopses and dworcs. The tomb contained a riddle. It was all long ago and I vaguely remember it. I don't know, I think some aura around the monument, erased my mind. I don't know what I faced in the cave either. Was it a fire devil... Or a dragon?
However, I opened the tomb, entered the hole below. In there was alot of fire, and some creature blasting at me. But that didn't matter to me. I saw a chest. I ran to it and took what was inside. It was a bag, containing a key of pure gold and next to that it contained a diary. It was a minotaur scription which said that the mighty mage of the minotaur did not want to be disturbed with his study of the humans, so he asked his minions to bring this key to the dragon's lair. The owner of the diary died by the dragon, and his fellow minotaur left it here, with the key. But now I have it, though I do not understand how this cave would lead to the sword of fury, as the blind orc said. I decided to continue with my journey and follow the hints I had. After I went to minotaur hell, I fought the minotaur mage. A teleportal brought me to a large cave room, enlighted with candles where multiple orcish monks attacked me and said I was not allowed to enter the sacred place. I had to fight them and believe me, though they were. Afterwards I found that the road was free, a stair went up and above that flames were visible. Floating in the air.






In the meanwhile I read one of the Mage's books. It was a piece of written minotaur history. It said that the Minotaur blocked the way to the orcish tomb because they wanted the sword of fury for themselves. But the mage still had to study how to pass the fire around it. He though was sure of his success, because he thought he was mightier then any other magician. I suppose the sign next to the isle was right; The Mage wasn't humble at all with this opinion about himself. I gained my experience like everyone else could. I am a poor peasant, with perhaps a better mind to solve riddles then the average man, or perhaps not. I guess that all made me humble enough at the time because I was able to pass the fire without any trouble. I didn’t feel the magical flames at all. I climbed up, and wanted to take the sword when I heard someone screem from the shore. I turned around, and there he stood. The Blind Orc.


"You are Worthy young one. I didn't catch up your name, but I know you're the one I talked to before. It has been a long time since I spoke with someone in my own language. Now here's my last hint, I may never see you again, but I want you to do this well. None ever managed to get to that blade. Pick it up, and stick it in the fire. Then balance on it for 10 hours."


I did this, then I took the blade out of the ground. It took the fire with it. When I looked at it, I saw the blade returned to it's original magical state as Firesword. Then I decided, this treasury and myth belong to the orcs and the people that walk this planet. I did not want to break their dreams of solving this mystery on their own someday. I left the sword there, on the island, and I went back to my home.
