  Epic Insights: Epic Swordfighters
Epic sword dancers tend to focus on enhancing their magical and physical prowess in ways that complement the other, and they tend to split their feats fairly evenly between those that might aid fighting (such as Epic Weapon Focus) and those that enhance their spellcasting ability (such as Improved Spell Capacity).
Once the attuned sword is infused, it gains the ability to use bardic music to inspire courage as a bard of equal level to the character level of the sword dancer who infused it; neither the sword nor the sword dancer need have any ranks in the Perform skill to use this ability.
Activating the sword's song is a free action for the sword dancer, as long as she is wielding the sword.

 The only epic fantasy website on the net
Epic Fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy and very similar to high-fantasy where a seemingly average person undergoes many trials and ordeals which develop him or her into a hero capable of feats needed to thwart challenges of an epic scale.
The whole genre of epic fantasy is, of course a wonderful thing, but, it can get bogged down in the massive mult-book series that grow big enough to use as bricks in castle building.
To be good epic fantasy a novel or series has to swing at these questions of our existence with a big sword or a two fisted axe; or even rain down upon them the fury of a lightning storm.

  Sword & Sorcery - your resource for fiction, interviews, articles, information and more
While sword and sorcery is certainly a type of fantasy fiction (as a sports car is a type of automobile), the label sword and sorcery was proposed by Fritz Leiber to distinguish the genre from other fantasy.
While the strengths and skills of sword and sorcery heroes are romanticized, it is a different sort of romance from that which casts lovely princesess, dashing nobles, and prophesied saviors as the leads in other types of fantasy.
In summary, sword and sorcery is fiction set in a land different from our own, where technology is relatively primitive, allowing the protagonists to overcome their martial obstacles face-to-face.

 Epics and Ogres: Ghoelidon's Thoughts on the Epic Item Redesign - Development Discussion - EQOA Official Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Traditionally the sword is held high to protect the head, while the axe is held low to defend the baseline and take advantages of any openings that present themselves (usually as a result of the opponent having a sword in their face).
Ironically, when wielding a large hand-and-a-half or two-handed sword, one of the best ways to protect your head is to hold the weapon in front of you, tipped to the ground, but that's a discussion for another time.
Anyone interested in zweihanders, hand-and-a-half swords, the Vasteras blade, the Normons/crossbows/Battle of Hastings, the English longbow and the Battle of Agincourt, or the Landsknechts are strongly encouraged to play around with the wonderfulness that is Google.

Apart from Grendel's mother, the monstrous "tarn-hag", the female characters in the original poem, thought to have been composed in England between the 7th and 10th centuries, are largely jewellery-adorned, gracious queens who are liberal with the mead.

 French-Iranian director Robert Hossein to revive Epic Tale of Ben Hur in 2006
It is a life long passion for great epics that drove Robert Hossein to undertake a career as an actor in Films in the early 50’s often playing bad guys or passionate lovers.
Hossein’s lifelong passion for Ben Hur was satisfied when he saw the Hollywood Epic in the late fifties and since them he has had an obsession to recreate this spectacle for a live audience and on stage.
The success of epic sword and sandals in the past years in Movies such as Gladiator, or Troy have certainly motivated Hossein who expects 300,000 spectators in a show that will be repeated only four times in late September 2006.
