The Dolman Copy- a copy of the Malachrite Falcon
By: MoonHunter

There are dozens of copies of the Malachrite Falcon, most of which are decoys or mcguffins for a variety of cons and scams. Some of these Falcons are somewhat famous in their own rights, as they will have colorful histories.

The Dolman (named for the city of its origin) has such a colorful history of its own. It was used by a local Evil Cult as bait to draw out any other occult groups in their area. They dropped rumors and left clues to tantilize the occult orriented. They created an elaborate mini-temple that was trapped to capture adventurous or greedy souls. The trap was successfully sprung a number of times. Those poor fools were then sacrificed to the Dark God. Some of the energy was syphoned off into the Dolman Falcon to enhance its "mystical" qualities AND to be used for later magics.

After a few decades of the trap working, the Dolman Falcon developed a great deal of mystic energy power. It developed into more than a mere battery. It became an actual generator of magical energies, increasing the amount of magic around the item.

Eventually, someone escaped with the prize. While they were disappointed that it did not hold the KNOWLEDGE OF THE AGES, but a mystical energy generator is still worth having. The owner was short lived, as others wanted the Dolman Falcon for themselves. Many think it is the Malachite Falcon. Others know it is a copy, but covet it for its supposed magical powers. The cult continues to dog the owner of the Dolman to regain the item.

Even in the tomb hunting and occult circles, The Dolman is currently lost to history. Every now and again rumors of it resurface, and people scramble in that direction.

Malachrite Falcon By: MoonHunter
Items » Art and Music » Magical

The Malachrite Falcon is one of those legendary treasures that people have been hunting for over the centuries. The Malachrite Falcon has a legendary past, mixed with the Great Orders of the Past. The Malachrite Cult, The Sethians, the Kings of Cronos, and just some of the great orders who have owned it. The last public owners were the Blades of the GoldenSun, a legendary order of warriors from the ancient Imperial days. The Blades were either the greatest warriors for Good or the most famous scam artists depending on who is writing the history. When the Blades were “broken” by Emperor Coscious the Mad, their treasuries were looted. The Falcon was one of the treasures not accounted for. It was considered spirited away by some Blades.

Ah a nice take on an old favorite. The Maltese Falcon if I am not mistaken. A decent version. I will need ot view the real Malachrite Falson to see if it holds up to par with the fake version. Well done Moon.

I'll throw a paw up there for you.

Similar comments to the original. One minor point - sometimes you wrote Dolman, other times Doleman. no biggie :)
