History
Owned by: Marster Songsteel
Chiliad gave this blade to Eariyl who in turn gave it to Marster. Marster has a harness for his harp allowing him to play his harp after drawing his sword, when he has the time to do so. Otherwise, he may ask an ally to draw the blade for him while his harp cloaks him and his allies with invisibility.
