So in re-reading some older material, I came across something that has to my knowledge never been addressed on the board. Hamanu< King of Urik used a sword called the Scorcher during the cleansing war and dropped it into the sea of silt after Raajats imprisonment.

So from my knowledge of the Scourge of Rhkard, this seems like a powerful weapon, and if it fell into some ambitious deviants hands could make for an interesting adventure series.

In addition Rikus killed Boras with the Scourge, so it could be assumed the Hamanu ditched the blade out of fear? Obviously he did not want it near him and a great series of adventures could be played off of Hamanu actually having a party of PCs recover the sword or destroy it.

Any Thoughts?

The Scourge was actually encased in an enormous chunk of obsidian along with the Dark Lens located at the center of the Cerulean Storm if memory serves me right.

Hmmm. Because the Sword Rikus had was the Scourge of Rkhard which boras used in his final attack against the dwarves. Am I wrong or are you talking about a different sword?

If a sword was encased, it would have been the Scourge. Btw, Hamanu did not wield the Scorcher in the Prism Pentad, as that sword is lost until the PCs locate it in Dregoth Ascending.
