Ary'Velahr'Kerym, the Warblade, one of the three fabled Elfblades of ancient Myth Drannor. The sheath is crafted from star-iron and wrapped in the cured hide of a deep-wood displacer beast, its matte, charcoal surface seeming to pull the light from the forge into its depths. Along its length, a single line of High Elven script was engraved in silver filigree: “I am the silence before the storm, and the steel that holds the dawn.” It was a vessel designed not merely to carry the weapon, but to stifle its song, ensuring the Warblade’s heat remained hidden beneath a ranger’s shroud until the very moment of the strike. The hilt was a masterpiece of unparalleled craftsmanship. Its true power lay in the six runes etched deep into the moon-silver steel: each a dormant star, dark and silent, waiting for the rightful hand to ignite them.
Sentience. A Moonblade is a sentient weapon with an Intelligence of 12, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 12. It has hearing and Darkvision out to 120 feet. Its alignment matches that of its creator.
The weapon communicates by transmitting emotions, sending a tingling sensation through the wielder’s hand when it wants to communicate something it has sensed. It can communicate through visions or dreams when the wielder is either in a trance or asleep.
Personality. A Moonblade has a personality similar to that of its creator. Once a Moonblade has decided on an owner, it believes that only that person should wield it, even if the bearer’s alignment differs from that of the weapon’s or the bearer’s goals later clash with the weapon’s goals.
