Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar

[TheLastIstari]

Those who know their Persian Mythology should recognize what this blade is right off the bat. To those who don't, I'll be more than happy to explain it.

 

In Persian legend "Amir Arsalan-e Namdar", the protagonist, Arsalan, is born to an Egyptian Mercant and a Lady of Constantinople, who fleed when the city was conquered by European invaders.

 

Anyway, moving forward. The Shamshir-e Zomorrodnegar was the only sword capable of harming the demon Fulad-zereh, who had been charmed by his mother, a powerful witch, to be invulnerable against all weapons save the Shamshir.

 

The Shamshir itself was rather powerful. It worked as a charm against magic, and when struck by a sword, the wound could only be healed via a potion with certain ingredients, including the brains of Fulad-zereh.

 

The original owner of the sword however, was in fact, King Solomon, which helps explain why it's got all the jewels.

 

I've been wanting to get a nice version of this shamshir in Oblivion for a while, but never really got the chance. So I'm making a request. Unfortunately, there are no good pictures for reference as a shamshir. Ironically, the closest I could find was that of a dagger. Though I'm sure if one were to modify it a bit to fit the proportions of a shamshir, it'd look beautiful.

That's the image of the dagger. It's not the greatest, but it's the best I could find.

That is a shamshir. If one could modify the blade to take the shape of the shamshir (Though keep the emeralds and the gold!) and the shape of the sheath (Once again, keep the emeralds, the gold, and the clusters of diamonds on it!) that would be amazing.

 

You do not have to enchant it, I am capable of doing it myself. Nor do you have to put it ingame via the Construction Set, I can do that myself. I just need the models and textures ready for Oblivion. If you do wish to enchant it, I'd say a resistance against magic (however high you want is fine), and an ability to damage health would fit as well I believe. Maybe a damage endurance enchantment as well. If you want to put it ingame, please, please, please, do something other than placing it in the Market Place.

 

Kudos will of course, be given. Though in truth, I find kudos to be a bit small in thanks, it's the best I can offer.

 

I do hope someone takes this up though~
