In a mythical and mysterious land named Etheror, there were high cliffs made of granite that lead to a sacred plateau.
The plateau rose above The People’s Valley suddenly and dramatically. It went straight up for thousands of feet. All who laid eyes on the massive structure were astonished.
But what was most astonishing about the plateau walls was the giant sword stuck into them. Though half the sword’s length was hidden from view, it extended several hundred feet into the surrounding air creating a remarkable contrast.
The sword glistened brightly in the noonday sun, and it never moved. Even the strongest winds could do nothing to shake it from its place in the plateau cliffs. And a hand large enough to grasp the sword’s handle was very difficult to imagine.
All the people in The People’s Valley loved the uniqueness given to them by the presence of the sword. And their love persisted for so many generations that they no longer thought about what would happen if the body attached to a hand large enough to grasp the sword’s handle were to come and claim the sword.
