+ | ==Early History== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Unknown to all but The Creator of the Swords=== | ||
+ | ''Cremator'' is just one of 1,000 identical Intelligent Magical Swords made specifically for the purpose of Destroying Undead. They were crafted in a Primal Realm, by a High Order Imprint Holder, Sorcerer & Conjurer. The Swords were made and Magicked in the Flame Tongue Style specifically for their incredible capacity to damage the Undead as well as other benefits. They were Empowered, given Intelligence then given Purpose. At that moment, all were absolutely identical; unused, uneducated, unexperienced and unnamed. Then they were flung through Shadow to a thousand worlds, each with their own respective Undead problems. None of the Swords' recalls being made or anytime prior to arriving on the World they were sent to. From that point in time on, each changed and became their own individual. Each chose their own Name or were given a Name. Cremator was the first and it gave Itself Its' own Name. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Known Only by Cremator=== | ||
+ | Cremator believes it was 'Born in Battle' as it arrived at its' intended world in the middle of a huge battle between the forces of the living and the forces of the dead. When it was picked up by a Warrior, the Sword spoke Telepathically to him... and Named itself. | ||
+ | |||
+ | "I am ''Cremator; the Undead Destroyer''. Speak the word 'Immolate' to activate my Powers." | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Warrior did and the blade became engulfed in green flame. Many Undead were destroyed that day by Cremator and its' First Bearer and that battle was won, but the war waged on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Rumors of Other Swords in the Set=== | ||
+ | It is rumored that many of the Swords have names that are associated with Fire, such as; Fire, Flame, Burn, Sear, Heat, Blaze, etc. And in a myriad of languages; Fuego, Flambé, etc. Some are named after Gods and Goddess of Fire. Some are named after Gods and Goddess that Protect Life or Guard the Dead. Some are named after Weapons of Gods and Goddesses... and some were. Several are named for their unique powers to combat the Undead, such as Cremator, the Undead Destroyer. Though each Sword has a 'unique' name, meaning; no two are named 'Fire' or 'Fuego', many have the same 'title', such as; The Undead Slayer, The Undead Destroyer, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some of the more interesting rumored names are as follows: | ||
+ | *Styx, The Guardian of the Veil between Life and Death | ||
+ | *Ash, The Deadite Decimator | ||
+ | *The Incinerator | ||
+ | *Torch, The Light in the Darkness | ||
+ | *Conflagration | ||
+ | *Huh'Rok-ka, Nature's Balancer | ||
+ | *Ranubis, The Destroyer | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Standard Personality== | ||
+ | When not in the presence of Undead or On the Hunt for Undead, Cremator is silent and would seem nothing more than a standard magical Flame Tongue. However, once Undead are Detected, no matter how far away, or the rumor of Undead is heard, no matter how vague, Cremator becomes Insistent about finding the Undead, Persistent about the matter, Pushy if the matter is not pursued, and Aggressive if ignored... and this is when Cremator will try to Influence or Control the Bearer in order to find and slay the Undead it has Detected or heard about. Cremator acts Superior and is generally Blunt, Forward, Egotistical, and Arrogant. Cremator usually talks down to everyone, sometimes even Its Bearer, and will usually be Condescending and Rude to anyone not Its Bearer. Cremator is THE Authority on Undead (It thinks) and believes It should be Honored and treated with Respect, even Reverence, befitting Its Magnificence. Cremator's vast knowledge of the Undead is shared with Its Bearer as Cremator sees fit, but It is usually more loquacious and forthcoming with useful information the closer It gets to slaying the Undead. | ||

Over the course of the next few decades Cremator traveled to many worlds, all quite different from Its 'home world', but all with Undead problems to solve... except the last; which seemed devoid of the Undead completely. But on an ill-fated night, Cremator's Bearer died after a battle; a failed Undead Raising Ritual in a forgotten graveyard with no burial markers out in the middle of nowhere in some 'back-water' Shadow. The Bearer had a Vision just before his death, which he shared with the Sword; his final words were: ''"Your next Bearer to come... a Shadow Walker... an Immortal... a Gamer who already knows you. Your Destiny's are intertwined."'' And then the Bearer died, the Sword fell from his grasp, and there It lies in that forgotten unmarked graveyard in the middle of nowhere, still to this day, awaiting the arrival of Its next Bearer. | Over the course of the next few decades Cremator traveled to many worlds, all quite different from Its 'home world', but all with Undead problems to solve... except the last; which seemed devoid of the Undead completely.
