📋 About This Mod

This is the \"brother\" mod to Weapons of Andraste and our 3rd themed release. We hope you enjoy this one as much as our first one, Elvhenan Weapons We added an elf vendor that will carry these for those of you who would like to \"earn\" them in a more standard gameplay fashion Rapture-X Vendor History of the Sword of Mercy Made possible with the Betrayal of Andraste by her mortal husband, Maferath, her execution ordered by the Tevinter Archon Hessarian was referred to \"The Second Sin\". This caused the Maker to turn from Humanity for the second time. The reasons for Maferath\'s betrayal are believed to be due to jealousy towards her being the Maker\'s spiritual wife. Hessarian\'s act of thrusting his sword through Andraste\'s heart to put her out of her misery is why the sword is a symbol of mercy in Andrastain lore. Hessarian later repented her execution and converted to the Chant of Light. While the act of mercy itself is well known, the lore around the actual sword used in this act did not become part of the History. This might have been intentional if the Archon was truly repentant. The origins of the sword have ties back to the ancient elven smiths that created the Elvhenan weapons. They were forged in a similar manner. The metal was dubbed \"Alamarri Steel\" after the smith who first used this method, Alamar. It was also one of the weapons seized when the Imperium invaded Elvhanen. This is how it came to be in the Archon\'s possession. Other noteworthy weapons created by Alamar include the set \"Vir Adahlen\", which was used by Andraste herself. Alamar had a very distinct design and didn\'t stray from it often. The similarities between this sword and Adahlen are very much in evidence. The sword augmented the Archon magister\'s already considerable power. Although not an Arcane Warrior, his melee skills were formidable and not widely known. This is partly due to this sword\'s enchantments. He noticed almost no difference between spells cast while wielding this sword and ones cast with his staff. A few rogue magisters discovered this when they surprised him without his staff only carrying the sword. Believing they had caught him at a disadvantage without his staff, they attacked and were easily defeated. None of them survived to tell the tale. There are burn marks on the blade right above the runes that won\'t buff out. Hessarian surmised that is where the Maker\'s anger at her execution bled through the flames and permanently tarnished the blade. Nothing is known about the fate of this sword and the only reference found was a note made in one of his copies of The Chant of Light naming it Atonement. Stats: (SS in images section of this download) That stats were made for a more Arcane Warrior, or some sort of spellcasting warrior like the Warlock class. We thought that there were not enough of these types of weapons available. It
