It shouldn't be so slow paced. It should be like an 80s rock anthem

It isn't immediately obvious how to make a sword with a hollow channel containing mercury, that's protected so the mercury doesn't alloy into the metal and be lost while changing the metal. I'm sure it's possible, but maybe easiest to construct it in parts. Maybe drill the channel after the forging, coat the inside of it with plastic or something, add the mercury and then put some sort of cap on the end.

It's been years, but - they were showing her around the torture machines, and said, "This one is called the Revolutionary. One sits here. Will you?" It took her aback for a moment, but she complied - no choice - and it installed in her brain a sub-personality that would make her hurt herself unless she focused on it (or he held her hands) until she slowly killed herself, likely in her sleep (couldn't focus to stop it.) He didn't know if she'd use the knife - nor so quickly.

@GreenGestalt Making a "Terminus Est" today would be quite straightforward; practical swords are well within our understanding and ability. The "soft" and "brittle" swords you're talking about are display pieces, never meant to be used in combat. And the bead of "hydragyrum" is simply a small amount of mercury flowing up or down a tube within the blade according to its inclination.

@RotoPlasmX Well, you want to "Borrow" some SCA guy's sword and then cut the tip off of it? They'd re-define "Get Medieval" on you!!! It'd be awesome if someone would make a "Terminus Est" someday. Don't know if today's technology could make it, even. First, the Metallurgy of past ages is lost, new swords are either too soft or they are too brittle. Second, the balance to make a sword that could contain a bead of "Hydragyrum"...it's more of a statement of how far in the future it is.

I Believe the song is based on the "Book of the New Sun" series by Gene Wolfe. The first book is about a character who works as an apprentice torturer. He kills a woman rather than torture her, and in later books, her consciousness ends up in his body.

Terminus Est is a sword in the science fiction series The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. It is wielded by Severian, a torturer and the narrator of the series.

Wow that's awesome. Just the fact that this exists on Youtube strengthens my faith that there shall be light again someday. ;-) You really "grokked" the story, too!

I love this! And I love it as much as I loathe the trolls that bash it. Not everyone's got US$60K to toss on a fake "Slaine" trailer and I think you did a very good job all things considered.

I guess so. This is really lame, huh? A total disgrace to Wolfe's vision. I know this is just a fan film and not Peter Jackson, but come on! At least get the fucking sword correct. Terminus Est doesn't have a pointed end.

I never expected her to sing a song like this after I heard that music she made for EQ.
