Re: Gift from the Gods
yah.... the metal is a special form of siderite ore that came from the asteroid belt. Rog, the many tallened hunter... the incarnation of the dead celstial who's body makes up the belt has grate hatred for the wyrm and the currupted as the curupted killed him, and it has changed the iron in the planetary remains into the altered impure siderite.
When purified it and used to cut currupted beings it will do dubble damage (after soak)... so it's fairly valuable, but being that it's from the astiroid belt... which was never easy to navigate in the first place and is now a nebula, it's hard to come by.
Most call it star metal as it is the sorce of many sacred / holy weapons of ledgend in the past. Once the ore was smelted and made into weapons by alchemests or mages they made weapons that by mundaine standerds were powerful supernatural things back in the time when sords weren't made of tempered iron at best. The rage felled siderite swords could cut just about anything, brake any other sword save another starmetal sword, and slice through armor... and fighting monsters... well it was what it was made for....
Most starmetal swords are owned by supernatural beings so history just figured swords of such quality where just the first steel swords, forged by masters who keep the secret of making them to themselves for ages.
But yes, mages can make siderite, making siderite with qualites similar to 'starmetal' is not quite as easy.
You basically carrying around the last wrathful revenge of a dead god. *gives thumbs up for that* sucks though that the incarnation finally died too
..... but he did try and destroy earth >.>
Nothing personal really, just felt that earth was going to die from it's corruption and his last act before throwing himself (along with jupiter) at talos was to try and give her a mercy killing.... ahd take out a large percentage of the corruption in the universe with it.
Thankfully missed for the most part....
Now if you could get some of that metal from the two chucks that hit Canada and Siberia well that would be nifty stuff.... not only star metal but it aborbed avatar shards from the soul storm, and energy from the reality bomb that distroyed mount quaf.
o.o
but I don't see you getting any of that this game besides ravens eye, and he's kinda attached to that.
