Legend: This Great Falchion’s name is Archmalese (slayer of monsters). Arch has been submerged within Typiacon’s layer for almost 500 years passing, he was forged around 625 years ago by E’thesbian Soulforge, a local craftsman of old Estonia but more predominantly known as an arch sorcerer of the Dyrmasian Order in old Estonia. E’thesbian sought after a way to rid of the many horrendous creatures which terrorized his homeland, his magic's and traps were not enough. With this always atrocity always on his mind, he began the creation of a great Falchion which could vanquish his enemy’s with a single blow. After spending a considerable amount of time acquiring specific and somewhat dangerous components for the swords ultimate power, he indulged in having the greatest of all swordsmiths forge him a two handed great Falchion made of nearly solid adamantite. This substance was extremely expensive and very hard to forge, thus forcing E’thesbian to wait nearly a year for it’s completion, although the haste spell he cast on the smith each day helped considerably.

Once complete E’thesbian began fusing the Falchion's final components to it’s shell. Melded black opal was used to craft the Falchion's handle, while rhino hide served as a handle wrap and an eye from a beholder was used as the Falchion’s pommel, which hosted the sword’s magical powers of vanquishing. After the sword’s total construction was complete E’thesbian submerged it within a caldron of liquid which adhered to the adamantite blade, thus amplifying the cutting edge. At this such time E’thesbian couldn’t wait to administer his new sword’s blade to the next beast which wondered into his local hometown. Within two months just outside the cities' fields a local farmer screamed aloud for help as his innards were squeezed from within his body.

Set out for vengeance E’thesbian faced the creature with intent on having the monster’s head upon the Falchion’s tip which he recently endowed with a life-force and called it by name. The monster was not a familiar creature to E’thesbian but he did not fear it since he held Archmalese by his side. The battle raged on with E’thesbian suffering blow after blow from the beast which would not die. Esthesbian struck the beast with mighty blows which slashed deep within his foe, dropping it to the ground many times, to only have it recover and attack again within minutes of a somewhat assured victory. After knocking down the beast for the 5th time E’thesbian was forced to retreat back to town to tend to the massive wounds he suffered from during the fight. E’thesbian was very distraught with the outcome and cast Archmalese into a banish portal (vanish spell) wishing to never see him again. The spell left Archmalese buried within Typiacon’s horde, to be forever lost from E’thesbian’s grasp.
