The echo bow was created from a fallen star and the scales from the great dragon Dextryth.

Bestowed with the power of dextryth. The echo bow can fold space to take out intensity target. The metal from the star made the bow indestructible and the scales were used to forge arrow tips. Dextryth is the bows designer, he bestowed the knowledge on one who was seeking his power. Only 12 scales were given so only 12 arrow heads exist. Along with the bow itself, the arrow shafts are made from the same star material.

The bow string made from fairy hair freely given.

Once bow and arrows were forged, the set was taken before Dextryth for the final piece. The blessing of the dragon, which embodied the weapon with the power of the dragon who had blessed it.

Each arrow could only be fired once for the moment it found its intended target both arrow and target are erased from existence.

The unfortunate thing is that the traveler whom had commissioned the weapon vanished along with the bow. It is said that whom ever it was touched one of the arrow tips with his bare hands and vanished. Others say he was robbed on the road.

About 200 years later the bow re surfaced along with 11 arrows, giving credibility the the traveler had banished them self.

Over time 2 more arrows were used one by a king not knowing the power of the bow, used it hunting and vanished his game. The second by a boy who knew it’s power assassinated the same king. After which the bow disappeared but the arrows, now that is guarded secret. All that is known is that the new king, fearing the bow he had the shafts and the arrow heads separated and the shafts melted down to encase the scales tips. All 9 were then hidden.

About 1000 years later the bow finally resurfaced and it is discovered that the bow has the power to fire any arrow at anyone anywhere in the world. The arrow tips themselves had the power the banish those they hit. With that the arrow become a very sought after weapon. After countless deaths, wars fought over it the bow was finally lost at sea during a massive naval battle. It is yet to be recovered.

The arrow heads however, there is one more clue as to there possible whereabouts. That is in the form of a puzzle. The kings chamber was built around the same time they hid the arrow heads.

In the kings chamber their are nine rooms.

In each room there is a fire place.

each fireplace has a fire grate

Each grate has 9 spikes

In the kings chamber there are nine rooms, in each room there is a chandelier

Each chandelier holds nine candles.

In the kings chamber there are nine rooms

Each room identical in every way.

It is in the kings chamber that a secret has been hiding.

the prophecy as told by Gab.

listen long and listen well young one, for the tail I am about to tell you is one that is written in stone, carved apon the wall of Hale. It’s the kings are at war with one another. The people are decided. Things that didn’t seem to matter before matter now. Things like where you were born, what colour the points of your ears were. The shade of your eyes. Before all this madness people judged others less. The land is divided. Elves, sprigs, fairy’s, and people of magic abilities are being persecuted for what they are and what comes natural to them. You seen mortal men don’t understand magic, they think it’s a sign of devilry. But I fear there is alot more to it than that, more than you could possibly understand.

But fear not young one. It is said that one day soon the conduit will rise up and stop all this madness and bring peace back to all the realms, for that is their purpose. It is said they will be born on a black sun and a burning night. With his birth a new form of magic will be let into the world that will change the way magic flows through everything. It is said they will have power over all things.

The siege, and the burning tree. As told by The old drunk ale house wench.

You make me sick the lot of you, happy, dancing and singing like you ain’t a care in the blacken. Hope the great fog swallows you up.

Fuck the king, murderer, usurper. Killed my king, burned my home and took my power.

My ears ain’t stop hurting since the purge. Or atleast the spot were they use to be isn’t stopped hurting.

Your king, afraid he was. Afraid of what was coming for him, afraid of the weapons already set against him.

He bunrned that tree, disconnected the realm from the source, left us in darkness.

The gift. As written in the oldest books in Tellus Moria

One, a long time ago, when the elves crossed into the realm, man was just beginning to leave its mark. The elves doted on man kind like they were children. Growing their knowledge of the land. Over centuries of living amongst each other the elves felt the rift between their realms begin to close and their magic wain. So I’m an effort to stay in this new land they hatched a plan to anchor their realms together.

Using branches of their world tree they anchored the realms together. Roots grew far and wide and eventually causing the splitting, creating the realm between. The gift this gave was an exces of magic spewing into both realms. Man gained magic and the elves got stronger. And with their new found strength the rules over man for the next 2000 years before the creation of man’s first conduit.
