Name: Tarasque

Area of Origin: France

Said to be the offspring of the Onachus (a Scaly Bison-like beast) and the biblical Leviathan (a gargantuan sea-monster) the Tarasque was a monstrous chimeric beast that devastated much of Nerluc, in Provence, which resides in Southern France. The monster was depicted as a dragon with the head like that of a lion, six short bear-like legs, an ox-like body protected by a turtle shell and a scaly tail that ended in a scorpion’s stinger. The king of Nerluc had failed to vanquish the creature with tactics of warfare, using his warriors and weapons. It wasn’t until 48 AD that Saint Martha (the sister of the biblical Lazarus) tamed the creature with hymn and prayer that the citizens were able to attack and kill it, much to Martha’s dismay. Sorry for killing the newly docile monster, the townspeople renamed their town to Tarascon. It’s been theorized that the Tarasque story was one of the first ‘Beauty and the Beast’ stories, becoming the inspiration for countless fables for years to come.

- VLAD III -

The IMPALER. Voivode of Wallachia. Devourer of the mohammedan hordes, and Son of the DRAGON (Half-breed WYRM vassal) who defied his lizard masters. Though he protects his people fiercely he is draconian in his punishment to those who defy him. No amount of blood will sate him now and neither APE nor WYRM are safe from his wrath.

why does wiggly sword exist? What are they good for?

Skill: Shows off the blacksmiths massive horse cock. In a time before modern machinery some crazy Germans and Swiss hammered beyond natural human limit. They probably did it as a meme then realised it was actually useful as a weapon. Sharpening a wavy blade would have been a nightmare.

Functional: Good for duelling sword vs sword. A traditional sword allows you to slide off an enemies blade if your swords clash, because the blade is straight. The waves in a flamberg blade creates vibrations which hurts the opponents hands, that doesn’t sound like much but it gives you an advantage. Very useful for parrying since the enemies sword will strike, then the blade gets stuck on your wavy blade or they pull away from the impact shock. Either way you will have an opening to attack. Also the waves cut much deeper similar to a serrated knife. If you got cut once by this blade, you would not be able to stitch your wound shut, you are pretty much sliced bread.Aesthetic: Someone challenges you to a duel, while they unsheathe their boring longsword, you unwrap your wiggly sword. They immediately apologize and run because you are rich enough to afford a wiggly sword and probably have multiple wenches giving you ankle parchments.
