upon a red horse and bearing a sword

The carnival is early this month and it's subject is war.

So I thought I'd take inspiration from the Horseman of the Apocalypse of the same name and write some 4E stuff - a new ritual (well a twist on an existing ritual) and a new magic sword to go with it. Upon a red horse is available for your downloading pleasure. You too can now emulate the second horseman.

In related matters, The Gamer Dome is considering a compilation of skill challenges for 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons. There have been some cool war-related ideas for these courtesy of Critical Hits.
