History

Owned by: Falconblade

This Kiira was not created to serve a House of noble elves, but was designed to be a store house for traditions and fighting skills of the Bladesingers of the falcon totem. The Kiira will only activate for the members of the falcon totem with an intelligence of 15 or better. Lord Vicorin Swordmancer created a total of 10 Kiira to support the lodge and he wore each one in turn to initiate its values and powers.


This Kiira has been owned by and has memories from the following Bladesingers:

  1. Lord Vicorin Swordmancer – F14/M17 male Moon Elf bladesinger. Creator of the Kiira.
  2. Jamdrian Dawntreader – F12/M15 male Sun Elf bladesinger.
  3. Lady Irierath Falconsong – F11/M14 female Sun Elf bladesinger. Also wielded Falconblade.
  4. Shageon Dragonsoul – F12/M12 male Moon Elf bladesinger.
  5. Alilyassa Swordsinger – R12/M12 female Sun elf bladesinger. Also wielded Falconblade.
  6. Fruhorn Woodsoul – R11/D12/M12 male Wood Elf bladesinger.
  7. Damice Dewshining – F11/M11 female Moon Elf bladesinger.
  8. Loraatris Harpsorcerer – F11/M10/T12 female Moon Elf bladesinger and minstrel.
  9. Kristana Forgedawn – F12/M13 female Moon Elf bladesinger.
  10. Aluhana Huntinghawk – F11/M11 female Sun Elf Bladesinger.
  11. Eildove Moonshadow – F12/M13 female Moon Elf Bladesinger.
  12. Lord Phorios Khilat – F12/M15 (NG) male Moon Elf Bladesinger of the falcon totem, Knight of the Order of the Phoenix, and devotee of Lathander.
  13. Panros Forgedawn – F13/M13 male Moon Elf Bladesinger. Died defending Myth Drannor with Josidiah Starym in 714 DR.
  14. Falconblade – an intelligent bastard sword +2 that had been merged into Chiliad Khilat during the Times of Trouble. The astral falcon spirit of the blade completely consumed the essence of the Kiira into herself. The knowledge and powers of the kiira are then passed on to blade wielder with elven heritage.
