Inaugural Post: The Peacekeeper

So.... Colton Drechsler of the White Armory handed me an arm-load of weapons the other day. Swords mostly, but there were some daggers in there too. Now, if you're familiar with the White Armory at all, you know what a treasure trove this is. I've been collecting Colton's weapons for most of the time I've been in SL, so I wasted little time in starting to drool over them.

I looked at these in amazement and commented "You know... at this rate, I'm going to have to start a weapons blog."

Colton laughed "Go for it."

So.... here we are.

I've got a LOT of weapons... and not just from the White Armory, although those make up the bulk of them. I'll share some of these here, and show some of the best weapons to be had in all of SL. Maybe I'll take a peek at some events, some clothing... who knows?

Starting out in this inaugural entry, I give you my personal favorite sword from the White Armory; The Peacekeeper Two-Handed Sword.

This beautiful weapon is powered by the A&D Engine 2.13 but its due to be updated to 2.20 soon, and does damage in Spellfire, Gorean, or SafeZone meters. It is a back-drawn sword, with smooth animations.
The detail on the hilt and blade is amazing. This picture doesn't do it justice, so here is the vendor art:

The texturing on the hilt and scabbard is extremely detailed leather, and if you notice the metal of the pommel itself ALSO contains a texture, giving it the look of of a piece that has been artfully and lovingly polished.

As a side note, the Uniform I am wearing in the above photo is the official uniform of the White Rangers, a tournament and medieval combat group sponsored by the White Armory. The uniform was designed and created by none other than Bee Dumpling, Queen of the White Armory and genius virtual seamstress. Her designs complement Colton's weapons perfectly. And as a FURTHER side note, the Peacekeeper is actually  the official sword of the White Rangers, albeit the heraldry on the blade reflects the White Rangers Crest rather than the one on the retail version. For more information on the White Rangers, there is an info-vendor inside the White Armory store, or you can Contact Me, NullandVoid Resident, for details.
