Talk:Ilbratha

Obviously, I wrote this as featured article bait. :) When Eli the Tanner said an item would be nice to have in the queue, I tried to think of some famous items of the Realms and thought one of the classic magic swords would be nice. I hunted around for one with sufficient history, images, and a good range of sources, and got lucky on Ilbratha, one I'd worked on a bit before as it intersected with the Vast.

I expanded a lot on Fw190a8 and an anon user's work. I'm afraid adding so much meant I had to rewrite a lot, but I preserved it wherever possible (I colour-code my work to do so).

The problem with writing a detailed history of an item is that it doesn't do so much on its known, just follows someone else on their exploits and is occasionally used. So, I focused a bit of Azoun I's military campaign. This seems fair for the Mistress of Battles. I invite someone who's read The Sea Devil's Eye to expand on the bit about the mermaid warrior Princess Jian. Else, I'll try to expand on the underwater history later.

I'll fill in the infobox when I've finished updating the Item template. — BadCatMan (talk) 14:39, September 12, 2014 (UTC)
