Dark Drinker

Dark Drinker is a Drow scimitar +2 made of Adamantite. The blade has a serrated edge and the tip comes to a very sharp point. A dragon is etched in black into the blade, just above the guard. The guard is small and oval, making the sword look much like a katana. The handle appears to be made of black translucent leathery scaled skin. The tang of the blade can be seen through the translucent shadow handle and it has a series of spots along thin edge that glow a ghastly green. The tang has Drow script of ghastly glowing green inscribing the name of the sword that loosely translates as “Dark Drinker”.
