Bazkoare the Heroes’ blade

Bazkoare the Heroes’ blade

  In eons past, when Dragons ruled. The Mistress with Five Faces sought dominion over all dragon kind. To this end she bent the mighty magics she controlled, and crafted with those magics the Dragon Crown. With the power to control any dragon, She of Five Faces thought herself unstoppable.

  The Platinum King of Dragons Bahamut learned of the Crown and tried to assure his brothers and keep them from despair. Bahamut set out to destroy the Dragon Crown, but even he, with all his great power could not get close to the crown for he would fall under its power. The Platinum King decided to enlist human aid, and set about crafting a blade of such power, that he could send a human against the Dragon Crown to destroy it.

  Bahamut applied his will to the task of crafting a blade. After a year and a day, he had produced a platinum blade representative of his power, and he would make a gift of this blade to a human champion.

  Bazkoare Kirin proved worthy to wield the Platinum King’s blade. For many years Bazkoare fought battles against the forces of She of Five Faces. Many times was he wounded, many times was he on death’s door. The power of the platinum blade healed him, so he might continue the fight. Eventually it came to pass that Bazkoare found himself facing the evil Queen herself. An epic battle ensued. Try as she might the Queen was unable to strike down Bazkoare; such was the power of the Platinum blade. With a mighty stroke, the Queen lashed out once again, and this time, mortally wounded the human champion for good dragons. Knowing he was the only hope of saving the dragons, Bazkoare rallied all his strength, and struck one last blow. Such was the force of the strike, that he sundered the Dragon Crown.

  In a tremendous flash of released power, the Dragon Crown shattered into three parts. The power released struck the lesser dragons dumb. Only the most aged and powerful of dragon kind kept their intelligence, the younger dragons reverted to a primitive mind and became as animals. The great power was too much for Bazkoare; only his spirit remained, inhabiting the blade that has saved him so many times before.

  The three pieces of the Dragon Crown were lost into the world. She of Five Faces sought them for many years, and she seeks them still. Once a generation the Evil Queen summons a foul champion to seek the Dragon Crown and restore her power.
