Sharpe’s Bizarre Blade Bazaar Item #999: “Final Falchion”
Price: 999 sols

The great sage Thornzorn was once asked the following question: “Master, what will be the very last sword forged on this planet as it is dying?” Thornzorn, a man of peace, found this to be a compelling question, as he hoped that the answer would show a future world free of strife and war. Over a series of intense divinations that lasted for weeks, he was able to tease information from the aether about the weapon that would be the last of it kind. First came information about its shape, its composition, its size. To his surprise, Thornzorn found that these were well within the means of contemporary swordmaking, and he gave the specifications to the great smith Ajuk to make a replica. That replica is what you see here: not magical in any way, but a vision of swordsmanship yet to come as realized by one of the great swordsmiths of ours or any age. Buy now!

Flyssa’s note:
When Ajuk finished making the sword, he came to give it to Thornzorn. The old guy was getting ready to find out how far in the future the sword was made, so he was like “come back tomorrow, smithy.” Well, Ajuk came back the next day and he found Thornzorn dead on the floor. I guess it wasn’t a good answer.
