An heirloom of the Elven House of Khilat, this moonblade had been passed down through many generations.

Powers

The moonblade, in its final form, is a +5 weapon. The blade is effective against creatures subject to silver or cold iron weapons. The sword is intelligent (17) with a starting ego of (15) but has gained a point of ego after the death of each of its successive owners. The sword is generally of Neutral Good alignment but but has strong tendencies towards the alignment of the current and previous owner. The blade can communicate by speech and telepathy, either from itself or one of its manifestations. It can speak Elvish and read Elvish and magical writing. The blade also speaks all the languages known by its previous owners.

Summary

Bastard sword +5

  • Max damage vs wood, bone, metal or stone.
  • double damage vs undead.
  • +6 vs ogres, trolls, goblinkin, giantkin, and giants.
  • +6 vs regenerating, wounds don't heal rapidly.
  • +7 vs evil.
  • +7 vs cold or cold using, inflammable or avian.
  • +8 vs chaotic evil
  • +8 vs undead, (+10 with Sunshine)
  • +9 vs evil or chromatic dragons.
  • +10 vs fire or fire using.
  • +11 vs red dragons

Judgement

The sword can judge the character, motive and intentions of anyone it touches. The blade can't be used to attack innocent opponents, as the wielder's arm will go limp and the blade will drop from his hand.

Bladerite

Each time a moonblade is passed on, the moonblade itself decides whether to accept the new owner or not. The owner must be Elven, a member of its chosen Elven family if any still live, of good alignment, and act in a selfless and heroic manner. Major acts of cowardice, cheating, or lying will all count against an individual attempting to possess a moonblade.

If the moonblade does not accept a new owner, or if it is touched by a non-elf, the blade may choose to inflict 8d6 points of damage per round. If the blade is dormant or chooses not to react, it will perform as a Mastercraft long sword +1. Individuals of evil alignment must successfully save vs. death magic or be instantly slain. Even if the save is successful, the evil individual will feel intense pain, and will never be able to handle the blade again.

Unbreakable

The sword is extremely hard, and can only be broken by extreme measures such as Titan or god like strength. It will only fail a saving throw versus crushing blows on a 20. When an opponent uses a weapon to attempt to break the sword, there is a 75% chance that their weapon will be broken instead.

Imbued Powers

During the High Magic Moonblade creation ritual, one of the supporting High Mages selected and empowered the blades initial embued power.

Owner Imbued

Each new owner of a Moonblade can imbue the blade with a new power. Powers are often imbued into the Moonblade at a time of great need, typically to survive an otherwise fatal attack or accident. Powers can also be imbued with deliberation, based on the desires of the owner, and can even be modified by future owners. Khilat had the foresight to guide owners to develop carefully crafted rituals incorporating components to enhance the intended power. In some cases, additional enhancements were later added by High Magic rituals or divine blessing.

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.

Rite

The Moonblades were brought to life in -9,000 DR by an Aryvandaari High Mage named Ethlando, and a Circle of Elven High Magi. The blades were enchanted with magic cast by the Circle to judge those who were worthy of wielding them, and to empower them, based on the exploits of the wielder, and past wielders. The completion of the High Magic resulted in the sacrifice of Ethlando as his life force and spirit was divided and bound to the 300 master crafted swords created for the ceremony.

Since the swords creation, each owner has completed a simple ceremony that bound a portion of their spirit (requiring 5,000 experience points) to the blade for as long as the blade retains its magic. Transferred with the spirit of the owner, personality and knowledge are added to the storehouse of information from previous owners. Further, each owner contributed a finely crafted, rare or precious material to be incorporated into the sword having a value of at least 5,000 gold pieces. The material selected typically has properties related to the power the user wishes to imbue into the sword. The material gets magically incorporated to enhance the overall value, aesthetics and craftsmanship of the weapon. The owner may then imbue the sword with a power of his choosing or need which is powered by the owner's spirit and the high magic ritual that created all the moonblades. A rune then appears on the blade to signify the power.

History

Lord Elian Khilat survived the blade rite while drawing the moonblade, raising the status of the Elven House of Khilat from a merchant clan to minor nobility and becoming its first lord. Now an heirloom, the moonblade had been passed down through the generations. The blade was lost and lay dormant for many generations after its owner became Lythari and left civilization behind. It was later retrieved by a Knight of the Fellowship of the Forgotten Flower but was lost again in the fall of Myth Drannor, and subsequently taken to the lower planes. While under the mental control of a former owner of the moonblade, Chiliad Khilat used his amulet of the planes to open a portal and summon the sword.
