This Dark Age is infamous as one of the most tragic periods in Chinese history, characterized by rampant crime, widespread famine, and senseless violence. This story is about a legendary weapon rising from the dust to illuminate the light of righteousness. About 6 feet long, pure gold, yet perfectly weighted for combat. Decorated with a pleated leather shaft, red-orange feathers at the base of the blade, and a double-edged, 1-foot-long blade, sharper than any weapon in the world.
This story takes place in a land far East, the land of history, the land of culture — the Kingdom of China. China was once a brilliant place, a hub of great minds, scientific inventions, and new technologies, but this soon became overshadowed by the rise of an evil tyrant. Under his leadership, the kingdom’s borders closed for once, and the king imposed an iron fist ruling over his subjects. The earth began to wither, the riverbeds ran drier and drier as seasons passed, yet the king's ruthlessness remained constant. However, the people of China remained faithful to their king, trusting in the divine right to rule: an item decreed by the gods themselves, simply known as the Spear. This weapon of war was the prized treasure of China; whoever wielded the Spear held China on its knees.
