===The War Gong of Stavenn=== | |||
An imposing construction of rahnse, bone, and rope, this large gong lies silent with suppressed | |||
power even when left undisturbed. The disk itself is the height of a tall Xiur and fashioned | |||
entirely from rahnse. It is suspended by ropes thicker than a Kohdons arm from a crossbar of fused | |||
bone resting atop two pillars comprised of the same material. Adorning its face the Stavennite Crest | |||
has been etched into the surface before being painted with what now appears to be dried blood. | |||
Surrounding the Crest, five images of battle have been painted with such meticulous care that they | |||
appear almost lifelike. Above and to the left of the Crest a Diavlous has been painted at the | |||
completion of a powerful swing, his axes stained with gore and a pair of newly headless Justicars | |||
tumbling to the floor before him. Moving clockwise, the image of a Sidhe Noctusari can be seen; fist | |||
clenched before a rapidly disintegrating Warden, the hapless fools face caught in an expression of | |||
unimaginable agony. The next image is of an obviously wealthy desert Mukhtar, his back arched | |||
slightly backward as a Saboteur, barely discernable behind him, drives a blade through his back and | |||
out of his chest. Directly below the Crest, a Limorasi can be seen cackling with sadistic glee as | |||
she prepares to tear the third limb off a living vodun doll. At her feet, a Mage of Kinsarmar can be | |||
seen screaming in agony, his staff falling useless from the stumps where his arms used to be. The | |||
final image is that of a Malignist roaring in triumph as she drives the point of her Daegger into | |||
the heart of a cowering Cleric. The image has been painted so meticulously that one can even discern | |||
an explosion of light denoting a Seraph guardian whose charge has succumbed to death and the bronze | |||
shattering shards of Seraphic Aura that proved no impediment to Elimination. | |||
It weighs about 1000 pounds. | |||
