Description

Well, this picture was made as a present for a very dear friend who helped me in some delicate situations :P.
The picture self shows a dragonforged item, here a longsword made of a green dragon. Dragonforged equipment is very powerful, if you can handle theyre special...habbits, because every character trait of the Dragon who created such an item is still allive in there and also the source of their power.
In case of this longsword the owner have to be a very intelligent person with an enormous will and also devotion. So you will see that kind of weapon mostly in hands of Mages, especially of Warlocks, and Druids. Also some Paladins are known for wearing this kind of stuff.
If you have the requirements waring this sword and if it accepts you as his new "owner" you will gain the special abilities of a green dragon:
1. its grants you Ultravision, nothing will be unseen for your eyes
2. gives you an superrior charisma, people will die only loocking at you
3. if you got mental abilities (mesmerization, thought control, etc...) they will turn to maximum power
4. you will be immune to all mental attacks and you won't need to sleep anymore
5. If you are a Druid, your regeneration of physical and psychikal powers are increased
6. you can understand the language of green dragons and will be accepted as a member of theire realm
7. with the time wearing the sword, you will build up an empathic connection to it, at last may stronger then friendship

Next to the very powerfull abilities the sword also have the advantage that its a formidable weapon, indestructable, unforgiving and it hits always the weakest point of an enemy in a mysterious way.

The disadvantage of this sword is, of course, its strong will that have to be beaten. Also you never know if you control the sword or is it leading you.
But if you are strongminded this weapon will be the best friend on a battlefield.
Once a long time ago, there was a powerful warlock searching for the secret of etheral magic. One day the concordium of mages get frightend about his power and so they decide to put him into a prison without any possibility of escape. So they overwhelmed him and take him into dark tower at the edge of the known world, gurded by armies of undead and also demons. Finally the mages of the concordium take all his items, poweful but dangerous stuff, and claimed it for themselfs, but nobody was abled to wear a single longsword. This was one of the dragonforged weapon and it was searching, nearly crying for its owner. The mages heared the screames inside theire heads and nealry made them insane. So they decide to get rid of the sword and hide it far away in a wasteland. But the sword still call and one day, the call was responsed. An Orc found the sword and ,of course he was not intelligent enough to avoid the sword he touched it. And from then on, the sword controled him and an ordinay Orc starts to become the leader of its realm ,by duelling the former chieftains, forged the different orcrealms together and formed a kingdom known as the green empire. This one Orc also formed an army, mighty, cruel but also brave and deadly and starts traveling to the edge of the world. To a tower surrounded by the evil forces of undead and demons. In an epic clash they beat up the complete undead army, killed the undead legion and freed the warlock out of its prison. The sword changed the owner and the powerful warlock become the leader of the complete orcish nation. He destroyed the mages concordium, conquer the nearby nations and make the green empire to one of the mightiest kingdoms ever existed.

This small story only shows the power, that are imbued in dragonforged items, but also reveales the weakness of them. Without a powerfull owner they are only things, without any power to chaqnge destiny.

To the artwork (sorry for the long text before, but i think it is essential to understand the picture a bit more ;) :
This picture was made with pencils and some acrylic colours and took me 2 days of work :D
The quality is not that great, because the scan is made of scan of the original :P (can you still follow? :D) and so the colour have (only a bit) changed.
All in all Iam satisfied with this picture and I hope you like it too :).
