The Fatebringer
- The pistol on her hip
The most prominent of her tools, the one most feared by her enemies, and arguably one of the more powerful blessed weapons on Azeroth, though it is still a long ways off from The Ashbringer. The weapon is useless in any other person’s hands, as it won’t fire, and even if it did, it would be no more powerful than a normal gun.
Lil used to carry a flintlock pistol, but being a person who appreciates practical things and having extensive knowledge of gunsmithing through her goblin engineering, she decided to upgrade. The flintlock was dismantled, and the thick blessed metal barrel and mechanism was reforged into a cylinder, and a thinner, rifled barrel. The rest of the metal was used for the hammer and trigger. The rest of the metal used to hold the gun together is lightforge metal. The grip is made out of oiled oak from the Hearthglen, and is carved with symbols of The Holy Light. The grip is mostly symbolic and doesn’t carry any significant power, unlike the rest of the gun.
The cylinder’s smooth exterior has the words “Damnation”, “Imprisonment”, “Purification”, “Disintegration”, “Chastisement”, and lastly - and most feared: “Suspension” written on it. The cylinder does not rotate when the hammer is drawn, it is operated manually to decide the fate of the target, they vary in severity and situational use.
The hammer makes a sound akin to a church bell when it strikes the chamber cap on the first shot, all through magical means. The trigger reacts to Lil’s touch after having rested for a reasonable amount of time (meaning it has been holstered in the meantime, the battle being over).
The chambers are not physically loaded with bullets. Instead, when struck by the hammer the chamber fills with light and discharges an incorporeal bullet of said light, the bullet makes a “bang” like any other (Lil made sure of that in the design, would make for a boring gun otherwise, no?) and wounds the target before delivering the intended fate to the soul and/or body (which ones it affects depends on the fate).
