First.

illustrate:

The light emitted by the blade is treated as sunlight, and provides 15 feet of bright light and an additional 15 feet of low light. When the blade is unfolded, you can use an action to expand or reduce the bright and low light radius by 5 feet each. The upper limit of the light range is

The bright and low-light areas are each expanded by 30 feet, and the lower limit is reduced by 10 feet each.

The Dawnbringer was forged by worshipers of the ancient sun god Amaunata. It was originally just a magical weapon of excellent quality, but after the owner died in battle, it was integrated with the spiritual thoughts left by the owner during his lifetime. Over the years,

As time went by, it gradually became a truly legendary weapon.

Note: Since the Dawnbringer has been left in the Underdark Realm for too long, many of its functions cannot function at all. Priests of the non-evil camp are required to spend an hour every morning to use the fields they have mastered.

Divine power is used to warm it, and this ritual continues until the holder is recognized by the weapon, so that it can exert its true value and power.

——The existence of Dawnbringer is to bring light to the darkness, allowing the holder to continue fighting against the evil enemies in the darkness.

…………

Brian carefully observed the lightsaber, and the doubts in his heart were gradually solved.

I finally understand why the attributes of ‘Dawnbringer’ look so poor, completely unable to match the real legendary equipment.

However, what reassured him was that this was not a damaged legendary equipment.

Otherwise, it would be a shame.

After all, legendary quality equipment is very rare even in the entire material world. It is even so rare that even those powerful legendary professionals cannot guarantee that they will be able to get one.

Even the powerful gods can consume their divine power to mass-produce magic equipment below legendary level, but it is undoubtedly impossible to mass-produce legendary equipment.

If they really have the ability to produce legendary equipment in batches, it indirectly proves that they have the ability to increase the strength of believers to the legendary level in large quantities.

Because if the gods want to forcefully create legendary equipment, the amount of divine power consumed is simply not something that a god can easily afford.

In more severe cases, it may even directly cause weak gods to face the risk of losing their level.

The reason why this is the result.

The main reason is that when a piece of equipment reaches legendary quality, it means that the piece of equipment has a certain power of rules and domain.

This kind of power that can only be mastered by legendary professionals cannot be created by casually consuming a little bit of divine power that is not painful to oneself.

Because they all consume the original power of a god. If compared to humans, the original divine power is the blood essence of ordinary people.

Once it is consumed, it must take a lot of time to recover.

The reason why legend is called ‘legend’!

It’s not that they are artificially named like this, but behind every piece of legendary equipment, there is a legendary story that is unknown or widely circulated.

Therefore, the probability of legendary equipment appearing is actually lower than that of professionals who advance to the destiny legend in the material plane.

However, the only advantage of these legendary equipment is that there is no life limit.

As long as they are not damaged or forgotten in an unknown place, they will be passed down forever, and may even become more powerful as time goes by.

Brian withdrew his gaze, and with a thought, a piece of gold foil paper that was completely preserved in the sarcophagus appeared in front of him.

He saw that apart from a thin layer of dust, it was also covered with writing.

Before being expelled by him, the Psychic Crystal Servant told him that when he took the sword, this gold foil paper was stored with the 'Dawnbringer'.

He also specifically asked him to check it out.

Brian waved his hand and used a simple trick to clean away the dust on the gold foil.

After it regains its bright golden luster, start looking at it carefully:

Netheril calendar year 2598.

An army of more than 3,000 orcs invaded central Netheril eastwards.

Under the command of Lord Bruta of Skamharth, the orc army was divided into eight teams and rushed out of the Legion Mountains of the Gods, surrounding the border city of Shanes.

Offering no opportunity for negotiation, they sacked the city and continued their march westward.

Countless refugees fled south across the Basin Lake and quickly carried the news to the nearby city of Andranteide, warning Netheril of the invasion.

But what is surprising is that none of the powerful floating cities of Netheril came to support the defense of these ground settlements.

The orcs' advance did not encounter any effective resistance until Bruta's army reached the narrow Humeishila Trail in the Polaris Mountains.

The only path through the mountains is hundreds of kilometers long. It is a winding path that is too narrow to allow two orcs to walk side by side.

A dense phalanx of six hundred temporarily organized Netherese warriors stood ready here, blocking the path.

General Martik Stratga, a worshiper of the sun god Amaunata, stands among the soldiers with one hundred of his bodyguards.

Despite the huge disparity in numbers, the Netherese soldiers still stood firm and relied on their superb combat skills and magical support to do their best to slow the advance of the orc army.

Unfortunately, Bruta's entourage included several powerful shamans. They used totem magic to cross the solid granite walls on the side of the path and outflanked the Netherese army.

Although his soldiers were heavily surrounded, General Mattik still shouted the name of the predator and launched an attack bravely and fearlessly.

The orc commander Bruta passed through the dense battlefield and dueled with Mattik in person.

The vastly outnumbered battle caused most of the personal guards around Martik to be killed or seriously injured, but he still stood bravely and fearlessly, waving the Dawnbringer symbolizing the sun god Amaunata, and accurately threw a beam.

A fiery divine art.

As the fierce battle came to an end, Mattik Strutt was finally outnumbered and died in the battle. His head was cut off by Bruta and made public.

After paying an extremely heavy price, the orcs seized the trail, but the fierce resistance of the guards delayed their progress, allowing all the refugees from Netheril to escape, avoiding a horrific massacre.

Martik Stratga and his bodyguards used their self-sacrifice to give countless unarmed civilians a chance to live.

It is his fearless spirit of self-sacrifice and almost legendary military exploits, just like the dawn messenger in his hands, that will always bring light to the darkness and fight bravely against the enemies in the darkness.

——May the glory of the sun god Amaunata never dim!

…………

The 'Battle of Humesheela' was the last glory of Netheril's surface army and the beginning of the decline of the divine power.

From then on, the civilians who lost the protection of their vitality completely lost their right to speak freely and became the tools of the great arcanists living in the floating city to extract all resources.

At the same time, this was also the turning point when the great arcanists began to become indifferent to the gods.

As time goes by, the Netherese people's faith in the gods has also been lost at an extremely rapid and irreversible rate, forcing some gods to take measures to preserve their divinity.

Therefore, the great arcane empire is not as beautiful as imagined.

For the common people of that era, if they wanted to get ahead, they could only accumulate enough wealth to live in the floating city through several generations of hard work, or sign a contract of sale and serve in the floating city for life.

Because only by living in the floating city, their descendants would have the opportunity to be exposed to magic education and learn arcane arts. This was the correct way for an ordinary person to become an arcanist during the Netheril era.

Brian put the gold foil paper recording the "Battle of Humaihira" back intact into the sarcophagus.

"Priests who are not from the evil camp..."

He looked at the 'Dawnbringer' in his hand, considered it for a moment, and promised it, "If there is a chance, I will find you a master who is truly worthy of you."

"However, the first thing you need to do is to help me return to the surface." After thinking about it, he made the final addition.

"Buzz!"
