Interactions

Appearance

The sword was created by Lumiel Miritar, a Master Swordsmith artisan priest of Corellon Larethian as the culmination of his crafting skills, taking 50 years to complete, with the blessings of all the Seldarine. First, he formed the outer edges from folded layers of Arandur, a rare silver-blue metal famous for staying sharp, and further blessed and magically hardened by priests of Labelas Enoreth. Inside the outer edges, he crafted a grill of small black adamantium circles to provide the underlying framework and structure of the blade. Each circle was silver plated to appear as a quarter moon, and each contains an 8 pointed titanium silver star, individually blessed by Corellon. He obtained a block of pure Dwarven "True Silver" Mithral that had been hidden in an ancient shrine of Sehanine Moonbow and blesses with numerous Moonfire ceremonies making it living metal. He mixed in ingots of Obdurium, a pale violet metal harder than adamantium, and Arambarium, a silver metal tuned to primordial and elemental energies that enhances magic. Working for decades, he carefully molded the living Mithral alloy over the adamantium framework to form a mastercraft blade of perfection. Over the Mithral, he laminated a foil of cold iron Darksteel, a deep gleaming purple meteoric alloy tempered with special oils blessed by priests of Hanali Celanil. The completed blade of the sword then underwent the ancient Dwarven blueshine process to purge any fractures or weakness while providing resistance to acid and corrosion, and any future rusting. The tang of the blade is a thick walled tube of adamantium wrapped with wires of gold, silver and platinum gifted from the horde of Avachel. Sealed in the tube of the tang is a single perfect feather of a mighty phoenix servant of Aerdrie Faenya. Made of Dlarun, a bone-white metal that can take a high polish and appears like ivory, the cross guard has the form of a crescent moon that curves towards the handle. The cylindrical tubelike handle was designed to thread securely by twisting onto the wire braided tang. The handle was crafted from Duskwood, a wood as hard as steel, by a druid of Rillifane Ralathil, who blessed it with an Ironwood spell and seasoned it with Fairy Dust collected from avatars of Erevan Illesere. The handle has a fine inlay of Holy Moon-touched Oak and Weirwood that had been temporarily transformed into a Treant. The wood inlay inscribes symbols of totemic magic drawn by totem-sisters of Angharradh. The handle ferrules capping each end are made from thin rings of unicorn horn, collected from a unicorn servant of Khalreshaar that died of old age, and was blessed by her Druid. Threaded onto the adamantium rod tang, the pommel piece is made of platinum and extends the handle a few additional inches. The pommel knob is a hollow conic bulb of platinum, with a depression at the end, and a loop for a lanyard. Sealed inside the pommel is hair from Fenmarel Mestarine. The pommel stone is mounted in a mother of pearl clasp carved from the pearlescent shell of a steel oyster blessed by Sea Druids of Deep Sashelas. The pommel stone is a large deep blue star moonstone, bathed in moonfire and blessed by a Starsinger of Sehanine Moonbow. The final product had mending cast on it to turn the sword into a single piece. At its completion, the Mastercraft sword with its blessings was equivalent to a magical +1 weapon.
