Description

One of the most famous stories from the first centuries after the Cataclysm is the quest for the Darkshine, the Holy Blade of the third Saint-Elf of the Third War of Power. Its last known bearer was Silfereth the Wise, the supreme commander of the northern allied army and a relative of the High Elf King. After the war Silfereth disappeared and several groups embarked on the quest for the lost sword, among them some of the surviving lesser demons which thought the powers of the Holy Blade could be used to become the next Great Demon Lord.

Although the chronicles of the Northern Elven Kingdom contains detailed information about his military career, before and during the war, Solfereth’s whereabouts after the Cataclysm is unknown. During several years some historians speculated that he died in one of the natural disasters that happened in those years, while others said that he was slain by followers of the Elven crown prince (it was rumored that Silfereth was the High Elf King half-brother).

Nevertheless, taking into account “The Never-ending Journey” one of the most famous quests of the Wandering Elf was the search of the Lost Sword. Alpherid realized that Silfereth was wise enough to do not try to reclaim the Elven throne, and too powerful to be killed by any of the surviving demons. Besides, the last time that the three Saint-Elves were together he told them that after the fall of the Great Demon Lords the Holy Blades lost their usefulness and he was going to find the way to dispose of his sword. It seems that Silfereth the Wise was one of the first beings in the world of Aiers who realized that the Cataclysm was the beginning of the end of the Age of Magic.
The book tells that as soon as Alpherid learned about Silfereth’s disappearance, he took the quest for the Darkshine alone. The quest of the Lost Sword, as the Darkshine is now remembered, took at least 20 years. During his journey he met several legendary treasure-hunters, and even the Necromancer was involved in the search (in fact, it is said that this was the reason of his downfall). According to the book, at least three lesser demons were searching for the sword; and one of them, for a brief time, was the bearer of the Darkshine. However it seems that the Holy Sword didn’t have the power to turn a lesser demon into a Demon Lord, since when it became the bearer of the Darkshine was when it met its doom.

-o-o-

Ok, I finally introduced the last Holy Blade: the powerful Darkshine (and its bearer Silfereth the Wise). This is part of my project of fitting an old story of mine into 's Aiers world. Since Silfereth was long gone before the beginning of this story, I wanted to keep his appearence unkown. You know, just for dramatic effect.

Anyways, enjoy him!!!
