FANTASY SWORDS
Swords! Gotta love em. Except for when they hurt. Every so often, I like to create something in the Fantasy genre, so weapons are usually what I go to. Although this time it appears I went crazy with the Lore.

Donburi
Began as an average Kriegsmesser, but on one day it was adopted by an unknown user. And it is because of the legends and stories resulting from the deeds of that user, the sword became known as the Donburi. The user was infamous for his obsession of rice bowls, and along his adventures he spread the art of the legendary Donburi while introducing others into its glory. The 'user' had gathered a rather large cult following, and soon a majority of the world had been heavily influenced by its greatness. One day, the 'user' disappeared; leaving behind his sword which rested upon a bowl made of gold. His sword is now kept at the sacred shrine of Donburi, where it serves as inspiration for all. Serving not as a reflection of war, but reflecting his pursuit of peace; where ironically he used the sword to threaten others to embrace the joy that is the Donburi.

Leviathanic Blade
A sword enchanted by an ancient extinct race known as the Giants, the Leviathanic Blade was one of their parting gifts to the world. It gave the user the ability to harness the power of the Giants, allowing the user to withstand tremendous force while also allowing the user to strike with tremendous force through the blade. The sword's enchantment grows in strength along with the user's determination and willpower. The Giants believed that a user with those traits would reflect the ideals of the Giants. Unfortunately, the Leviathanic Blade has fallen in the hands of a Notorious Bandit Leader, who displays arrogance alongside his 'determination' to pursue his goal of becoming King of the world. Thus his gang of Bandits took on the name of Giants, and has terrorized nations and villages across the globe.

Heros Rune Sword
An Ancient Sword empowered by runes, the Heros Sword enhances the user with runic energy. The sword has the ability to seal away magic and by doing so it contains the essence within the blade. It is rumored that the sword has accumulated enough magical essence to destroy the world, and thus it was hidden away from prying eyes. Instead it has been used as a defensive seal, from which the user can prevent use of magic. All kinds of essence has been stored in the sword, which is why some people believe the sword is tainted with an immense amount of demonic energy. Others, just see it as a tool from which they can turn the tide in battle. Ultimately, the user has the power to draw on the sword's energies; the kind of power it will be able to harness will reflect the user's motivations and goals.

Spike of Glacius
A magical sword imbued with the power of ice, the Spike of Glacius is a legendary weapon used by those who can survive and conquer the icy mountains of Glacius. Kept in a mountain cave, the sword is said to be the source of Glacius' icy terrain and its tenacious blizzards. It has not been used in over ten thousand years and the knowledge of its abilities have been lost within the stories and legends. It is said that the Spike is capable of summoning ice at will, and was capable of 'infecting' and spreading like a disease. In the old tales and books, it spoke of Ice that spread and burnt like fire; the user would harness its power to slay his foes. To this day, the Spike remains in the Mountains of Glacius, awaiting for a challenger who can withstand the frost and its burning embrace.
