Hi guys. Finished this custom piece up this week. Hope you like it.
We will be adding it to the web site soon, as well as making a video of it.
Cimmerians Mother Sword Fully Functional
Background:
As an unseen blacksmith creates a masterwork sword. The sword is completed, and it is clear that the blacksmith is Conan's father. Conan's father explains to young Conan that he should not trust men, woman, or beasts, "But this you can trust," indicating the sword he has crafted.
It is winter, and Conan is still young. Mysterious black riders, bearing a strange standard of a serpent with a head on each end surmounted by a black sun and moon suddenly and savagely attack the village. The villagers fight bravely, but they are not soldiers, and do not last long. Conan's father kills several of the attackers, but eventually succumbs himself.
As the brutal attack winds down, Conan's mother is the only adult still alive. She stands guard over Conan with the beautiful sword her dead husband crafted holding the little boy's hand. The leader of the attackers, Thulsa Doom, a mysterious man with straight hair and piercing blue eyes, approaches the pair and suddenly wheels and decapitates Conan's mother. A grief stricken and terrified Conan watches as Thulsa Doom takes the sword his father made.
Conan and the village children, the only survivors, are led away in chains as slaves while their village burns.
And so begins the rise of Conan!
