PRODROMUS LEX
“Harbinger of Law”
“Harbinger of Law”
Greminor Lector was chewed out by Malkin Falimede regarding the true scope of the events surrounding CrIsis. After finding out that CrIsis truly was pro Wolfen and even more pro peace, Greminor felt guilt. He also found that Lector’s Revenge had been returned, and he goes back to the pyramid and speaks with his celestial benefactor. When asked what they wished of him with this revelation of knowledge, the entity requested that their new Demi-God, Osiris’ Unyielding Strength be made a holy weapon as the God of Oaths & Vows. Greminor agrees and mentions whom he needs to complete the task and also asks for some specific materials to be provided.
Within minutes the Seeker of Isis and Azariel appear, bearing the left and right arm bones of the late giant king, Sunder Blackrock. Azariel only stays long enough to announce this is a gift of the Church of Light to CrIsis and returns from whence he came. The Seeker of Isis is the only member of CrIsis to be informed of Xerx’ses elevation and that this is the gift to be presented upon the Festival of Apis. Greminor uses his magic to create the weapon out of time and shows Indaris the legendary incantations he must read to invoke the gods’ power and make such a weapon holy!
Together they create a greater holy flail dedicated to Osiris. Scouring the some of the ancient lexicon dub the weapon, Prodromus Lex, Harbinger of Law.
The flail is a two-handed weapon except when wielded by a giant race, like the Minotaur, which Xerx’ses is.
