Doom Weapons

Can you resist the power of a Doom Weapon?

"A weapon wielded by the hand of a good person can save the world. A good person being wielded by a Doom Weapon may destroy it."

Calling a Doom Weapon "cursed" would be like calling a chainsaw a letter opener. Both wrong, and comically understated. There are many things about our world that even the oldest and wisest Loremasters have yet to understand. Among these mysteries include the horrifying Doom Weapons. We know they exist... there are at least a few out there, somewhere. We do not know what they are nor where they came from. We know they talk. But it is yet uncertain how they so reliably manipulate the hand that wields them. It is the folly of humankind to covet such power? Do great women and men always fall to the temptation of ultimate power?

We are likely to find out... soon.

History of Doom Weapon Lore

The first Doom Weapons appeared in our video game, DragonFable. Sold by the Mysterious Stranger there were three of these terrible weapons. This was a pretty early release in DragonFable-- back when Cysero and I were creating and running the game. The story of the Doom Weapons grew, and things got pretty dark. Man, I love the writing in DragonFable. If might be worth taking a peek at this forum post about DragonFable's Doom Weapons... and their counterparts. Not much lore there, but it nice to see them. One of our most fan-favorite villains, Sepulchure wielded a Doom Weapon. I love it when they talk. Way back when we were pitching a TV show to the networks they scoffed at the talking weapons because it reminded the execs of "Bob the Builder". /facepalm . They had no idea. But to the best of my knowledge, we have never had a story showing how the Skullstaff of Doom, Shadow Reaper of Doom, or others had actually been created. (Although I may be wrong on this one.) I always wanted to tell the story so a player could experience it being a part of it. Sort of like how players got to experience what it was like becoming a Chaos Lord in that one AQWorlds release. Is this something you would like to see happen?
