I'm looking forward to someone else getting their hands on it and discovering another power.
Correct.
Name: Requiem for the Sun, but more commonly called Lightbringer.
Appearance: It is a heavy rounded head, the face has a sun engraved upon it. The back end has a sharpened spike with a downward curve. The haft is made from a different steel, lower quality and obviously added later, due to the loss of the original.
Alignment: Good
History: As the name implies, it was created in memory of the sun, by men who had wandered into the Endless Halls. It has lit the way for many a knight and warrior, its bright light often discouraging molestation from some of the darker creatures of the Halls. Fazra took it from one such knight, who thought the light alone would fend her off. Hall natives like Fazra don't know what the sun is, and instead call it Lightbringer.
Dominant Power: The head glows in response to the holder's strength. Fazra, the hammer's current holder, doesn't realize that it reflects her strength of will, and not her strength of arms.
Latent Power: TBD
I thought the latent power was decided after another PC acquired the item? Or is it just whichever player makes the decision first?
Hm... I should have read the IC before making a character. I seem to have made a little blunder; my character was written as a native to the Endless Halls. Is that okay, or should I change it up a bit?
Name: Fazra
Race: Orc
Appearance: Towering over most human women(and some orc ones) at 6'4, Fazra is heavily built. In her youth she was all muscle, and though she's put on some weight as she's left her twenties, she is still built strongly, love handles or no. She is of a subterranean species of Orc, boasting pale gray skin and larger ears for sharper hearing. Her face is still mostly young, though a scar on her lip and a bent nose indicate the hardship of her past life. Her hair is thick, black and course, and she wears it shaved on one side, and the other braided and tied back from her face.
She dresses in a studded leather skirt over chainmail with a ragged edge. Her chest is guarded by a thick steel plate, roughly formed but strong. Her right arm is bare all the way up the shoulder, and her left has a chainmail sleeve that extends to just above her elbow tight against her thick biceps. Her left hand is gauntleted with thick steel, a buckler built in.

Inventory: An ancient war hammer, one side of the head is flat, the other a sharpened pick. Though Fazra has never seen a horse, this weapon was originally used by human cavalry. She can swing it with one hand or both.

Personality: To be revealed in game.

History: Fazra comes from a clan of Orcs that used to dominate the Bright Road, so called for the gas powered lights that were originally placed at intervals. The gnomes that put them there aren't around to maintain them anymore, and only a few work anymore. Fazra's clan was notorious for ambushing travelers who stopped to camp under the surreal glow of one of the few remaining lights. The clan was strong and well supplied enough to maintain dominance, but people became wary of the road, pickings became slim. By Fazra's time, the clan was desperate, and as they over reached into more populated areas of the Endless Halls, they drew the ire of better prepared groups.

A vanguard of knights tore through them, leaving few enough alive. Though Fazra was considered an adult among her clan at 14, the knights saw her as a child, and took her in instead of killing her. Though they had killed her family, her culture respected strength, and she was more than glad to be on the winning side.
I am, but Arcalept hasn't been seen in four days. That's a a bit worrying.
@Forsythe

Just a poke.

I don't know who's posting next, but what I think should happen is the others intercept Gale on his way to the rendezvous, they decide the four of them can take on the woman and go back to help Alph, only to find him already on the way, at which point they flee.
I have posted. With a bonus original tavern song.

The last couplet would go

No greater pleasure have I e'er had
Than that sweet plump maid from Gilead


But it didn't make it into the post.
