Description

When the orcs began spreading throughout the newly dark covered world, every land they settled withered. Soon they reached the Taurkhan Great Woods. The few remaining Ents that were still able to speak, prayed to Seorsa, the goddess of nature, for a way to salvage the forest. Even though the great darkness, the prayers reached the deity and she felt pity for the creatures of the woods. She sent down the sky a part of her energy that took the shape of a sword. She named it Taurandir and gave it one sole purpose: to protect the forest from anyone that wished to harm it. For centuries, any fowl creature that aproached the woods was mercilessly slaughtered by its guardian until Seorsa was killed during the God Wars. After that, Taurandir stopped its function and Taurkhan plunged into darkness. The Ents died and the lakes turned to swamps. Only hundreds of years later, the great hero Saerl was comended to rescue the weapon. Great battles were fought before he reached the heart of the once imponent forest, but the objective was completed and Taurandir was taken to the shrine of the new nature deity, Sirannon. The weapon received a new charge of energy and came to life. Taurkhan was beyond salvaging and so the weapon was without purpose. Sirannon gave it a new one. To aid the hero in his quests to protect good and to vanquish evil. The hero was blessed by the deity and soon, a new order of knights was created: the Taur'ohtar. Knights that use the power of nature to conquer the wickedness of the world.

Orcs and Ents, eh? It's Middle Earth! XDD Cool, jagged blade. Looks like the trees it's supposed to protect.
