Incoming Story: Freeport Venture: Breaker of Chains · 1:12am Jan 12th, 2020
Synopsis:
When one of her apprentice's friend-of-a-friends goes missing, Archmagus Sunset Shimmer doesn't hesitate to get involved. However, what initially appears to be a simple case of a missing child will wind up leading her to a criminal conspiracy and political intrigue at the highest levels of Freeport.
These covers get cooler and cooler with each fic
She’s holding a damascus steel blade.
Nice sword but it looks far too much like a Katana than anything else.
Intrigue at the highest levels of Freeport? Now that should be interesting. Sunset's rise to archon has to begin somewhere, and after Tears in the Rain, it's clear that a confrontation with some of the nastier elements of the Council will have to be a part of that.

Looks more like a langes messer or falchion to me. Way too straight to be a katana, especially since the very slight curve is probably more from perspective than an actually curved blade.
Guess it'll be time for Sunset to use Chainbreaker again. After Northern Venture and the Puzzle story, we knew Sunset would clash with the Council but I didn't expect it so soon.
Nice

I think it might actually loosely biased on a Tuareg saber, a type of sword from north Africa.

Archmagus? Guess Sunset got everyone to agree that she's earned that title.
Oh my, Damascus steel! Beautiful!
Seriously wonderful art. Sharp to the Nth degree!

The reference picture I sent to InuHoshi for the design of Chainbreaker was a messer.
All the comments are about the Damascus blade on the cover and yeah, send my compliments along with theirs to InuHoshi.
I'm excited for the next installment of the Freeport series!!
Got to burn out the rot before you can get any further. Goodness knows Sunset excels there.
Also, Sour Sweet... who can't have reacted well to the whole "being enslaved" thing.

She did go toe-to-toe with an elder dragon, saved hundreds if not thousands of lives, and won... so it's hard to say she didn't

Fun fact! Messers (and the two-handed Grosse Messer) were designed to technically fit the definitions of Knives (exposed tang in the hilt, single edge), because the German Citizenry were banned from carrying swords.
Thus why they translate to "Knife" and "Big Knife", respectively.

Of course Sunset earned the title. Just saying that the title was only an idea at the time in Old Wounds.
Whoever kidnapped Sour Sweet is about to get screwed hardcore. Can't wait.
Looks like others beat me to it, but I'm still gonna say it, the work on the blades pattern is beautiful. Kudos to the artist!
