Ninjas are japanese warriors....literally meaning "enduring warrior". Ninjas aren't neccessarly bad or evil, they are always loyal to their master or daimyo. If a ninja is captured by an opposing faction. It is the code not to rescue the captured ninja, and for the ninja not to give any information of his clan. Ninjas job is spying, espianoge, assasination, sabatoge, scouting, they are also used on the battlefield "battlefield ninja:sly:" with troops in combat.
I am a huge Samurai fan, watched a lot of japanese old skool black and white movies. I played and beat Total War, and Total War Mongol Invasion twice each. A good movie dealing with japanese warefare in large numbers is "Ran" by Akira Kurasawa. :thumb:
Another good japanese warrior movies are "The Samurai Rebellion", "Shogun", "Lone Wolf and cub", "The 47 Ronin"(forgot the japanese name...Cushuginura?), and "The Seven Samurai".:cool:
btw, I'm not Japanese, I just love their culture.

No Joe, that's not what a ninja is... this is what a ninja is like:
Ninjas can kill anyone they want! Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

Oh, and "Exodus_dk", I'll have you know the magebane is an artifact of great importance! It is the legendary weapon from Ultima 7! It destroyed the opponents mana in one shot! I believe that drunken bloke wielded it. Any weapon that that drunken bloke wielded is most certainly worth more than a jerkoff blade! Furthermore, it's sitting... well, with all the other 'named' (and named, btw, means anything with a unique name, IE: "Crescent", which would differ from "Daedric Long Sword", or, "Iron Maul" etc.)...
I had aught to make a list of all the weapons I have... wait, I don't care enough! I did count them though, 19 of them...

Hmm - but then - where is magebane... Because I haven't found any penguins nests which I can search through - or a nice swamp northwest of cove where I can make a makeshift bridge out of planks :)
I just thought I'd found a magebane - which was a glass claymore in the tomb I mentioned in my last post. And it can't be that one - as the real magebane is a onehander - and really ought to be a saber(perhaps a katana would be acceptable). Besides it is blue not green :(
Plz. spoil me on this one.

*SPOILER*
Magebane is a glass claymore that is enchanted with 20-40% resist magicka for 10 sec on use. And I'm pretty sure it is worth 50K+ in the game. It is in the Urshilaku ancestral tomb. Not exactly sure where, but it is being held by one of the many mummies scattered about the tomb.

Yeah, it's in the urshikalaklu burial grounds off some skeleton I stole.
It has a name, it's a named weapon. =)
(Edit: Isn't it cool how you remember all these fun things?? like in Zelda, I STILL remember most of the secrets from that game... Things were much funner as a newbie when I'd spend craploads of time doing worthless stuff... damn you everquest)
