The Emperor’s Reach Best Enchantment

Triumph of Conquest Enhances On-Kill Bonuses

This Enchantment is by far the better choice, boosting the sword’s on-kill bonuses and increasing its buff duration. Its alternative, Bend the Knee, pales in comparison to the powerful bonuses provided.

Parries already inflict high Stun when done successfully, making it impractical to sacrifice its attack and movement bonuses for a parry buff.

The Emperor’s Reach Overview

The Emperor’s Reach	Information
	Weapon Type: Sword Class: Unique Weight: 6
Description
Whoever holds the title of emperor of Aedyr is undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in the world. But even his reach has its limits. It was with just this limitation in mind that Fercönyng Hafamund III gifted this sword to one of his most accomplished warriors, a champion from the ranks of the Tall Grass. Hafamund declared that "wheresoever this blade spills blood for the empire, all will know of the limitless reach of Aedyr's emperors." Ironically enough, the original wielder of Emperor's Reach died at the hands of a simple spearman whose weapon's superior reach spelled the end for that Aedyran champion of old.
