Type of Equipment: Weapon- Greatsword
Description: The Lion's Bane is a massive two-handed greatsword. It is said to be made of a bone from the god of the Sun, Ra. Whether this is true or not is unknown, but what is known is that whatever this gargantuan sword is made of, it is unbreakable. Just as one of the marvels of this world, along with its brothers and sisters of the Divide, this sword is a legend. Forged in a cave of the Divide itself by survivors of the Forlorn Battle in which ended the First Great War, this sword has remained in the very place it was crafted for thousands of years. The handle of the weapon is behind the blade itself and is 15 inches long with a circumference of 8 inches, requiring broad hands to be able to wield it properly. The blade is 18 inches wide, and 9 feet long. It is razor sharp, and decorated with what is meant to resemble lion's claws. The blade is forged from an unknown, indestructible metal, and the hull, handle, and decorations of the weapon are made from some sort of wood it would seem that is also indestructible. Supernatural forces surely took place in the creation of this divine sword.
Ability (or Abilities): Because of the origins of Lion's Bane, the Seventh Sword of the Divide, it's ability is a rather obvious one. Very obvious, but very dangerous to its victims. The sword itself is a siphon. A siphon of every shinobi's most deadly and versatile tool: Their chakra. With every strike to the victim or anything attached to the victim, the sword drains 10% of the target's chakra and adds it to the chakra pool of the wielder of this mighty blade. This is not the end to this mighty blade's full power, however. Its unquenchable hunger for chakra is amplified through the wielder, letting the wielder gain he ability to feel all forms of chakra around him, big and small. The chakra can't be seen, but its presence is known. The last ability of the Lion's Bane is the 20% boost in Kenjutsu prowess, which is an ability of all seven swords.
Durability: The Lion's Bane is the seventh of the Seven Swords of the Divide, and as such matches the durability of each blade. The Lion's Bane is indestructible, and is among the only seven indestructible items in history. It can withstand anything, including jutsu. It cannot cut through everything however, it can cut through anything up to diamond, but can chip diamond, just as every sword of the Seven can do apart from the fourth.
History of Item: The creation of the Lion's Bane dates back roughly two-thousand years ago, right after the Forlorn Battle in which the Nine-Tailed Demon Lion destroyed both armies, leaving a massive crevice in the earth. The crack so big, it almost looked like the world would split in two. The bottom of this canyon cannot be seen from the surface, so not much is known about those who fell into it during this battle. We assume, however, that they would have died form the fall, and if they did not, then they would have from being trapped for so long. A handful of about 10 men did survive. These 10 men had fought previously for the Empire, and were from the village hidden in the Dunes. They prayed to one of their gods, Ra, the god of the sun, to grant them the power to defeat the monster who had exiled them from the world above. In a flash of light, the canyon wall beside them cracked and began to glow. From the crack, a massive tree with beige-colored leaves and a white trunk sprouted. Underneath the tree, the crack still glowed. The men began picked away at the stone wall with what weapons they could find form the other fallen soldiers, and eventually reached what was glowing. It was an unknown metal, and none of their tools could break it. However, the tree had grown out of it, yes? This meant that the tree could break through it. They carved bark off of the tree, cut the tree down, and then split it into several logs. Tools were carved out of the bark, and the excavation began. They slowly carved the odd metal out of the rocky wall, and eventually had all of it. Collectively there was about 30 square feet of surface area of the dense metal. The metal was thought to be from Ra himself. The 10 men worshipped him, and thanked him for sending his bone down to them. They began calling it the Finger of Ra. They melted it down with fire from the logs they had created, and it made a fire so intense, that it was actually able to melt down the metal. They crafted it into a greatsword, and used the wood to adorn it. After this, the rest of the metal was buried somewhere beneath the ground in the Great Divide, never to be seen again. The rest of the wood was burnt away so no other man could wield such power again. The men carved a huge temple into a cave in the wall of the Divide. After that, no one knows what happened to it. It is rumored to be guarded by Horus, the son of the brother of Ra, Osiris. He waits there for someone to finally traverse the deadly temple, to reach him, and prove their worth by defeating him in combat. Only then will he know that someone is strong enough to wield this Lion's Bane, the sword crafted for one purpose, and one purpose alone:
To destroy the Nine-Tails.Seven
The Divide
Sword: The Lion's Bane
Province: The Woods Province
Sub-Location: The Divide
Dungeon Description: The Divide is a treacherous landmark that runs several miles deep. It acts almost like a buffer zones between the Rebellion and Empire, separating the capitols of each faction. Deep within this crack is a small set of caves, said to hold the Lion's Bane. To get to this cave, those exploring have to take a narrow trail, wide enough for only one person at a time, while dealing with crumbling walls, swarms of large, flesh eating bats (they're weak to fire), and pitch-black darkness. RP for 1000 words making your way down to the cave entrance dealing with all of the problems above. Once at the entrance, you'll have to fight the mini-boss to proceed.
Inside the cave is a claustrophobic maze of tunnels. Though there are no enemies in this section, those searching for the Lion's Bane must crawl through tunnels on their hands and knees, facing countless dead ends (there isn't enough room to turn around, so you need to crawl backward). Large rats have also been known to run through these tunnels (Okay, I lied about the no enemies), causing problems for close quarters combat. RP for another 750 words finding your way through the tunnels. After emerging from the tunnels, the only thing that stands between you and that glorious sword is the boss. Defeat it to claim your prize.
