Dim/Armaments

When Unbreakable Lotus was Exalted, the Unconquered Sun gave him two items. One, a massive hammer, the other, a breastplate. Both were crafted of oricalchium. The Sun added as Lotus accepted these gifts: "One day, these will fail you." When Aylott nearly killed Lotus, despite the Solars' best efforts, this prediction came true. Lotus lost his goremaul, and in its place he requisitioned a Grand Daiklaive, made by the hands of his own Brother, Forge.

Strength-Of-Many Oricalchium Grand Daiklaive \\ Artifact ••• \\ +6 Speed, +2 Acc, +10L damage, +2 Defense \\ Gifts: Hearthstone, Efficient, Terrifying Might \\ Commitment 5 (Oricalchium) \\ These stats do not include the 5MM bonus.

In Lotus' mind, it was his reliance upon his Faith that what led to his defeat at the hands of Aylott. Casting aside the many fabricated beliefs and practices, Lotus reverted back to his barbarian ways, yet not without the control he had grown to appreciate. One of his old beliefs was the reliance upon his tribe, now his Circle, to help him in his endeavours. With this in mind, Lotus asked Forge to create for him a new weapon, one that would never fail him. Forge began his work, first collecting a small vial of blood from every member of the Circle, including them in the creation of the weapon. Strength-Of-Many is the physical manifestation of the Circle's strength. In weilding it, Lotus shows the true strength of friendship and trust.

Strength-Of-Many was crafted using DS's new fabrication rules. It began as a mortal Greatsword. Three levels of Artifact were purchased, giving 11 creation points and 3 gift slots. The gifts were Hearthstone, Terrifying Might, and Efficient. This yeilded an additional 2 creation points, making the total pool 13.

2 points went into Speed, boosting it from +0 to +6 \\ 0 points went into Accuracy, boosting it from +2 to +2 \\ 8 points went into Damage, boosting it from +6L to +10L \\ 3 points went into Defense, boosting it from -1 to +2

Stoic Vestibule of Might Orichalcum Breastplate \\ Artifact • \\ Bashing Soak +4 \\ Lethal Soak +6 \\ Mobility 0 \\ Fatigue 0 \\ Commitment 2 (Oricalchium) \\ These stats do not include the 5MM bonus.

Stoic Vestibule of Might was given to Lotus at his Exaltation by the Unconquered Sun. It is a simple thing, with engravings of a stalwart fortress worked into its overlapping plates.

Stoic Vestibule of Might was purchased at character creation as a normal Artifact • Oricalchium Breastplate
