This weapon is a DéDannan Greatsword carved from the living stone of The Thunderhorn. It is a large two-handed weapon that can only be wielded by creature of large size or greater. It’s blade is wickedly curved and carved with ornate intertwined lines.

For centuries the Bloodsword was guarded by a DéDannan Ogre Mage named Caomhnóir Ferdia Síoraí who had been a disciple of Táin McLir thousands of years ago. The sword was made for a prophesied champion, “The one who will wield ignorance as a weapon.”

This weapon was claimed from its guardian by a Goliath named Gauthak Kalagiano, despite there being no evidence that it was intended for him.

When a creature is defeated by this sword, part of that creature’s essence is drained and can be absorbed by the wielder. This can often be seen as blood running along the blade’s curved lines and into small mouths along its hilt.

When you hit with a melee attack using this magic greatsword and reduce the target to 0 hit points, you gain 2d6 temporary hit points.

Medium creatures that can use this weapon due to racial traits gain 1d6 extra damage while enlarged instead of 1d4.

Proficiency with a greatsword allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.
