Hummingblade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hummingblade\nwas buried with Terra Songbird, just outside the Ivory Vale. According to Terra\nSongbird (if a bard\u2019s story is to be believed!), she was with a group of her\nfellow adventurers who had become close friends, and arrived at the new\ncontinent in hopes of finding new adventures (and new songs and stories) to\nshare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\nwhat Terra had shared, she and her companions traveled from the Ivory Coast, to\nRidgecrest, down to Stone Guard. From there, they had made their way to\nLakefront, then to Redstone. They encountered a green dragon in the Fern Dale\nand quickly escaped, and then encountered The Cult of Dragons having made a\nbase at Silvercrown Castle, and yet again, narrowly escaped. Heading southwest,\ntowards a large town called Drastor (according to several nomads they had\nencountered) in the desert lands known as The Broken Land \u2013 Terra and her\ncompanions took shelter in an ancient temple that was half buried in the golden\nsands, when a vicious sandstorm overtook them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\nTerra, her and her companions were trapped in the ancient temple after the sand\nburied the entrance. Inside the temple, they had moved about \u2013 and discovered\nthat they could not understand any of the writing on the walls. Everything in\nthe temple seemed ancient. Even the Hieroglyphs were in languages that were not\nknown \u2013 even to Terra, who had spent a good part of her life studying history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terra had\nconcluded that they had found proof of an ancient civilization. While her\ncomrades sought a way out of the temple, Terra studied the hieroglyphs trying\nto make sense of them. Eventually she began to conclude that it seemed the\ntemple was a part of a Holy Order \u2013 very, very primitive in origin \u2013 set to\nbattle ancient evils of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terra found\nan ancient sarcophagus that had become ajar overtime. Inside was a mummified\nhuman, who looked to be of royalty as he wore a crown. Beneath his arms, which\nwere crossed over his chest, was a longsword of exquisite beauty and quality,\nunlike anything Terra suspected would have been forged by such a primitive\nculture. When she attempted to reseal the sarcophagus, the blade seemed to hum\nto her. Without realizing it, she reached out and touched the blade, it glowed\nbright blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moment later, several trolls attacked (their own cavern beneath the golden sands, having collapsed under the storm and created an opening to the temple). During the entire fight, the blade remained glowing and vibrating in Terra\u2019s hands. With the trolls defeated, the blade ceased glowing and the vibrating stopped. On their travels back to the Ivory Coast, in hopes of returning to the main continent to have her bardic college study the blade and her findings, Terra and her companions were ambushed by a pack of gnolls not too far from the Ivory Coast city gates. Terra had named the blade \u201cHummingbird\u201d because of the way it vibrated when it sensed specific danger. Terra was never able to discover the pattern of what made the sword glow or vibrate or sometimes, both. The blade\u2019s secret, she assumed lay somewhere in the ancient temple. Sadly she and her companions never marked it on any map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blade was discovered in a grave (which was Terra’s grave)<\/a>, just outside the Ivory Coast, and came into the hands of Calliope<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
