Otherwise, there's really not that much out there -- most Google searches end up ultimately pointing to the content of the aforementioned article...

The information therein, however, probably overlaps considerably (or totally) with that in the Dragon article which has already been mentioned (and which I am afraid that I have not seen). It does through light on Kelanen's scar, which is mentioned in the Deities document, but not explained: K. was once "as comely as any deity", if memory serves, but one of the trials he undertook in order to become the Prince of Swords resulted in his disfigurement. The legendary blade Fragarach the Answerer and its copies also have a long pedigree, but that is another story. I hope that this helps.
Prochytes 10-20-05, 12:33 PM	As for the nine swords (or an earlier version of them; the story has changed a bit from 1st ed., I think, but I could easily be wrong): they were all given names in the original "Temple of Elemental Evil", but I am afraid that my copy of that module is elsewhere. They were all presented in English and they were all variations on the theme of "Answerer"; one that sticks in the memory was "Squelcher". Ho hum. Not every epic hero gets to call his sword Excalibur, Glamdring, or Stormbringer, I suppose...
GreatSiron 10-25-05, 12:18 PM	Yeah I've heard about that mod, but have no idea how to get a copy of it. Where can i find a copy and how much?
