The grade 4 and grade 5 refining contest had come to a tie! Dred and Temptress stood on the podium for first by breaking through in the middle of the contest. Their weapons were both high grade 5.
Dred, of course, made a fearsome sword with intricate inscriptions woven into adamantine steel. The metal was notorious for resisting inscriptions but Dred had shown his power. It was not complicated but the achievement was hard to overcome.
Temptress had made 2 short swords that complimented each other well. They were made of an alloy of erebium, a dark steel that easily accepted poison inscriptions, and sliverthread, a bright blue metal that allowed for much more delicate inscriptions compared to normal metals. It allowed the 2 short swords to reach high grade 5 as she had delicately woven the patterns into them.
