It's fun, yes. But yes, I would kind of like to see some of what they are like interacting with people. Perhaps one of those legends or the impressions of a farrier who had to deal with one?
Very nice - like to see a bit more to give them more personality. These make a nice building block.
A neat idea with solid write-up. Would be nice if it could be expanded in ways already mentioned above.
Oh my! this really tickles my funnybone; the spawn of horses and spiders, passed of as ancient, noble beasts. Very original!
Very clever premise, and I think quite usable. Dante must have forgotten to include this layer in his Inferno.
Me'likes! Phantasmagoria from Pieh's Wicked Plume.
good, but if you where going for the mini quest it has to be a pattern of 2+ Identical numbers. i.e. 7777 instead of 5757. pretty good sub otherwise.

I am just assuming that the sword is thus named in honor of one of their first noble nights that did great deeds. More of an homage to a great warrior vs. it requiring certain magic. The armor, being a true piece of equipment, albeit lost, seems to simply remain a legend and perhaps they feel it would be slightly blasphemous or in bad taste to name their own armor after a true set.
Just brainstorming a little about it. More about continuing to grow the legend of Huran and sprout out the idea. I might be a little biased about it too. ;)
We get a good idea of the history that person that implemented the the use of the Sword of Huran among the Spellsword Mages wanted to invoke, but we get nothing else. This another item right up that isn't about the item.
I'm confused on a number of points. is it the armor or the sword that was magical? The sword got its magic from the armor? If Horan bequeathed Dren his armor, then why is it the sword of horan, and not the Armor of Horan? After he downed Hek, Dren then fled? Why was Dren after Hek?
I think this could use a little cleaning up; I'm gonna wait to vote on this...
Excellent, this is sweet, it has a varied tone to the write up and a great deal of depth achieved with a conservation of language. I could see using this as pit stop in Noir-ish style mystery. The PC may need some knowledge that only a man of the march has and thus have to find him and break his stride at least briefly-maybe wait for eclipse or something.

I've read this over now several times, and the idea keeps growing on me with each repetition. As a general rule, I need to have a reason for something before I try using it in a story, and this really does help explain the mysterious helpful stranger. I like it rather a lot, actually. Excellent work, Pieh!
