Legend Lore

Similar to the power of a bard, the sword provides a base chance of 20% to learn something about a legendary person, place, object or magic item. If the wielder already has the ability to know such knowledge, then the chance is increased by up to 15%. Bonuses from other divination magic or magic items may apply, but the 15% bonus from the blade is added last and may not cause the total to exceed 99%. This becomes the base chance for the bonus below.

If knowledge about the person, place, object or magic item was known to any past wielder of the blade, any current or past wearer of a linked Kiira, or either silver dragon, then the current blade owner gains an additional 5% chance of knowing about the topic for every year that the blade has been in his possession. This bonus is added to the chance given above. The maximum this bonus will gain the wielder is up to 95%, unless the previous base score already exceeded 95%.

Selu'Kiira

A single large Selu'Kiira has been imbedded in the handle of the sword. The stone was newly created and completely empty when it was added to the sword, but has since been filled with memories from each of the sword's wielders. Lyassa's primary desire was to collect songs and lore into the stone to provide future guidance to the Khilat family.

Tel'Kiira

The sword can be linked to Kiira stones. The link is active so long as the stone is on the same plane of existence and magic doesn't block the access. A Kiira's mind protecting magic doesn't automatically block the link once it has been established.

All knowledge stored in the linked stone, including spells, become available to the sword wielder. Access to information can be immediate if it is recent experience and driven by strong emotion, otherwise it will become part of the stream of the random flow of information typical of Kiiras, with such knowledge becoming completely accessible after a great period of time and acclimation. Knowledge within the Selu'Kiira of the sword often taking precedence over that of linked Kiira.

If the Selu'Kiira or Tel'Kiira is bonded to a member of the Khilat family the link can be established on the command of the sword wielder when within 50' of the Kiira wearer. In the same way that family members are permitted magical access to the mind of the Kiira wearer, the Kiira will offer no resistance to the link. Locked stones are automatically unlocked for the link. The link with the stone cannot be broken, even when the stone passes to a new wearer.

If a Selu'Kiira or Tel'Kiira is not of the House of Khilat, the Kiira wearer may allow a bond to be established by his permission. The link can be broken on command by activating the Kiira's mind protecting magic. New owners may not immediately know about a link, but will eventually learn of the connection from memories stored in the gem.

The sword wielder can establish empathic or telepathic communication with any wearer of a linked Kiira. Kiira wearers may likewise communicate with the sword wielder. This telepathic link can be ignored or blocked by either party. Communication over long distances with Kiira wearers can be established. This link can be used for coordinated efforts, including musical and theatrical performances, group spell casting and high magic, and complicated moves in melee combat.

The sword is linked to 5 Tel'Kiira gems:
