(Written on mobile, to be improved later.) This is a tale that has acheived legendary fame. A tale of a swordsman, his battles and huge collection of swords. The story varies from region to region, and person to person. The following is the most commonly told version. Once, there lived a young boy. His parents sent him off to become an apprentice of a blacksmith, denying their son's wishes to become a soldier and fight. However, it just so happened that the blacksmith he was to learn from was an expert in forging swords. The first weeks pass, and quietly the young man collected leftover bronze, and while the blacksmith was away, forged a shortsword of his own. The day after finishing his sword, the blacksmith found the sword he made, and burst out laughing. He called it a joke of a sword, among other things. Furious, the young man challenged the old man to a duel, his shortsword against his best sword, winner takes both swords. The blacksmith continued laughing, and in between all of that said that he accepts the challenge. The young man held his shoddy bronze sword tightly, while the blacksmith simply took a plain iron longsword and waited for the boy to make the first move. He attacked again and again, but to no avail, as all attacks were dodged, blocked, parried and countered. It was by sheer miracle that the blacksmith tripped over an exposed tree root. It was a victory, a battle won by pure luck, but a victory nonetheless. He wanted to take the best sword the blacksmith owned, but reconsidered, as that would have been dishonorable. The boy claimed the iron sword of the blacksmith and declared that he'll be taking his things and leaving. He continued this everywhere; challenging swordsmen to a duel, and the winner would take both his and the opponents sword. Thus, the tale of The Duelist was born. He has never been beaten in any duel, he's roumored to have owned 5% of the world's swords by the time of his death, among them about 10 strongly enchanted swords. His best sword, one that he gained from a man in the Bolkov peninsula in a 4 hour long duel, was The Swordbreaker. To this day, many beleive this to be the strongest sword in existance, and many consider it to still be out there, waiting to be found. It was a long, wide sword, that for it's size was much too light. It's color was such an intense dark that it almost wouldn't reflect sunlight. The sword was extremely sharp, and all of the dark blade had symbols drawn onto it. This sword's name comes from it's enchantment, of course. Many say that with a simple and weak slash the Swordbreaker could shatter greatswords made from high-quality steel. It was The Duelist's greatest sword, the one that brought him the most victories, despite the fact that most of the time his prize for winning was split in two, or more. To this day, the entire world knows of this legend, and still attempts to doscover where his home is, and where he's keeping all his swords and the Swordbreaker. It still fuels adventures all across the world, as most likely anyone who would find this sword once more would become extremely powerful.

(Good job. Are there any hints, common theories, as to where it could be in Noliterre?)

When asked about the Swordbreaker and it's location, the answers vary depending on where you're asking, and who you're asking. The people in Avaron beleive that the Duelist spent his last days in the Noliterran Arcipelago and sailed a small ship on his own to one of the thousands of uninhabited islands and rocks, using his might to hide his sword in stone, so that only the wisest would know where to search for the sword among the thousands of islands, and only the strongest may retreive the sword from the stone. (I'm just assuming that the Noliterran Archipelago on the map isn't 100% just a handful of large islands. There's got to be smaller ones that aren't shown on the map, right?) The people of Vondexa say that the legendary sword has been hidden in the Rivne Wetlands, deep under the earth. Some say it's simply buried in a chest, others say there's an entrance to a massive dungeon that at the end holds the massive collecion of the Duelist's obtained swords, along with the 10 enchanted swords, including the Swordbreaker. Because of this, many adventurers have chosen to beleive this story and have searched the Wetlands all over, seeking the sword. And most in Orctova say either one or the other: That the Duelist has taken the Swordbreaker with him to the grave, never to be found again, or, that the Duelist simply faked his death, as he was not that old, simply too old to continue winning every fight easily, and went into hiding in a remote place in Orctova to retire, hiding his swords somewhere where few live, or few ever go to. Altogether, it is difficult to pin-point where the Swordbreaker and the rest of the Duelist's swords are, despite almost everyone knowing of the legends. If anyone is to seriously commit to seeking out this sword, they would need to study the legend of the Duelist very closely. (tl;dr there's 3 locations it could be in; Noliterran Archipelago, Rivne Wetlands, or the rural and sparesly inhabited places of Orctova, most likely small villages or towns.)

(Something interesting I just noticed, I'm a Senior Member with 4 stars, yet Plaustrum has 3, and is a Lord. This star ranking is confusing me.)
