    Hi im Brut, some of you may know me as that guy who makes spears (if not, now you know)
    thrundacrack rotating.gif guardian done.gif hero.gif collapse done.gif

    I enjoy making spear models based on their in-game lore but ran into a bit of a problem - Convergence.
    Convergence currently is the only mythical spear to not have a lore, which doesn't give me much to work with when creating a custom model for it.
    Although I can just ignore it as a whole or think of a wacky design for it, I decided it'd be fun to get the community involved

    The rules are simple:

    Create a lore for the spear Convergence
    convergence stats.jpg

    Submit your lore here: Convergence Lore Form (its a google form)
    You are limited to ONE response, so make it count!

    Don't use AI.
    (Yes, I realize that AI is a simple way to do something like this, but I want to hear what YOUR thoughts and not some generative text.
    So go on and have fun! Let your mind do the generating!)



    The deadline for the contest will be on May 5th, 11:59PM, EST!
    Any submissions after the deadline will NOT be accepted.

    After the deadline I'd like to open the results up to everybody, but if you are NOT comfortable in sharing your results, please let me know and I will keep it separate!

    As for the prizes, although it is NOT LE this time (bummer right?)
    I will be making Custom weapon models of the winner's choice! (the style of the model will be similar to the examples posted above.)
    (They will be formatted as mcpatcher files, therefore should work with the fabric mod.)

    Here will be the prizes as followed:

    1st Place: High Quality Model (Around 150 voxels with animations)

    2nd Place: Medium Quality Model (Around 100 voxels, minimal animations)

    3rd Place: Low Quality Model (Around 50 voxels, no animations)

    Anyways, I think that's enough of me yapping, so get writing lore-writers!
    The winners will be announced and notified on this forums post.
    (oh and if you had any questions feel free to contact me either here or on discord)

    So what do you mean by custom weapon skin? do you mean a cosmetic you can apply, or a model for a weapon that's in the game?

    Your models are really good, I love your style!

    My submission
    A grand spear carved in the likeness both of a demon and a deity, explosively coalescing, like fire and water. A dance of destruction and healing, chaos and order, hellfire and calm seas. There are impurities, but destruction knows no bounds. In the intensity, elements coverge like never before.

    It might be too long to fit in the space for item lore, and may be too vague or generic, but I did write it in like 3 minutes. Interested in what other people submit, though. Once again, your models are fabulous!
    EDIT:
    I ignored the form my bad. I will submit.

    It's technically like a cosmetic, that won't work without having some mods installed (unless i overwrite one of the wynnpack's weapon skins). It'd be in a form of a resource pack that you'd have to apply in-game.

    So here I have my Hero skin applied, which then would show up as
    upload_2024-4-30_6-3-28.png

    I hope this cleared things up for you!

    Edit: Actually this might be of help (I'm gonna borrow your thread @ Rythew) Rythew's Fables & Legends Resource Pack
    ________________________________
    No worries!

    I only made it a google form so that everyone thinks of their own unique description on how they see the item.
    (Others just get to see what you've wrote now, hehe)

    Also thank you! I also love your models too! (and how quickly you are able to create them, I gotta learn how to do that lol)

    That sounds like a really good idea actually.

    I'll see what I can do but only if people are comfortable sharing them

    Edit: I've added an option on google forms about publicizing your lore
    (those who have already submitted, please contact me if you don't want your results to be shown. Otherwise I will assume you are fine with it becoming public)

    An unlikely convergence of elements took place in a cavern near Troms. Lakes of lava and water; dropping through stalactites onto a plinth below over eons, met with Gaias blessing. When a lightning struck the lake, the crude form glazed into the purest convergence of elements.

    Hihi, apologies for the wait!

    Before I announce the winners, I'd like to thank you all for partaking in this event.
    It was mighty fun for me, and hopefully I can do something similar in the future too! (and a good source of inspiration for me)
    And please, don't be disheartened if yours wasn't picked this time around - maybe there'll be another chance in the future, who knows!

    First I'd like to give thanks to
    @Coffee KQ and @Neptune for helping me organize and judge the entries

    and here's the much awaited results:

    Honorable Mentions
    (the order does not matter, also there is no prize for it but I thought it'd be nice to mention)

    _StrikeTheEarth_

    and their submisson:
    "The unions of the sky and the earth are most commonplace in the form of thunder-strikes, but when the most raging and destructive of all the tempests amalgamated with the terra, the only thing left in its wake was this almighty glaive. They say that when this weapon strikes, that it has all the sounds of its creation, when the sky blinded and deafened and the earth was rent asunder."

    Je Hooft

    and their submission:
    "This ancient pike was crafted by cultists during an apocalyptic event caused by the World, the Moon, the Sun and two other planets aligning their orbits thousands of years ago. It is said that this weapon becomes more powerful as the next Convergence approaches."

    snowy3869

    and their submission:
    "Of myths and legends tell tales of the Equilibrium; The fine balance, like a dance of fire and water, chaos and order, good and evil. As the sky and earth split during the creation of dawn, this unfathomable, impenetrable force keeps them together without any fail, and upkeeps all meaning or being. And all the meaning no matter how insignificant, will all merge. And if then time ceases to exist...then the meaning of all creations will become one, and the great Convergence shall bring all there exists to coexistence."

    And for the top three entries they are...

    In Third Place is...

    @101O10

    with their submission:
    "Discovered in the depths of the Geyser Pits, Corkians have long attempted to harness the relic for its limitless production of steam. The weapon has seen little use in combat due to its uncontrollable tendency to sublimate the surroundings."

    In
    Second Place is...

    @ElectricCurrent

    with their submission:
    "A quaint, almost glass-like polearm, yet never quite breaking under all of the stress of battle. And between the 1st and 1000th strike, as the light hits it once more, you too think everything will be worth the struggle. For this fleeting moment, you join in the resolve the spear has mastered. At harmony. At peace."

    and finally, in
    First Place is...

    @UniversalSparks

    with their submission:
    "The ravenous pressure within the spear's abnormal shape causes the clashing forces of flames and seas to unfathomably converge, allowing the user to transcend the bounds of gravity to surf on air itself. Those deceived by the bluntness of this weapon are scorched and left with a dire need for oxygen."


    I will be contacting the winners via forums shortly.

    Here's a file with all the lore in it, for those of you who are interested.

    That's it for now, thank you all for participating!
