The Angurvadal swords were a set of weapons forged by the renowned Rashemi blacksmith, Raegik Hammerhold. It was unknown how many of these blades existed on Faerûn, though the secrets of their creation were lost with Raegik following his death.
Only Raegik and his chosen apprentice knew the unique process of crafting these magical, flaming blades. When the famed blacksmith discovered his apprentice had been dealing with the Red Wizards of Thay, he got into a fight with the mages. His life, and the secret of forging an Angurvadal sword, was lost to the ages.
This blade seems to be different from the other Angurvadal blades made by Raegik Hammerhold, in fact apart from the method used to fold the steel it is far more powerful than any other Angurvadal blade on Toril. One can only guess that not all of Raegik Hammerhold’s secrets have been lost to time.
The blade is golden; however, it is as hard as adamantine, down the length of it you can just about read through the divine energy emanating from the sword the word “Var’kor”. The cross-guard has been shaped into the heads of two griffins, most likely due to the famous Griffin Riders in Thay’s military, in the centre of this cross-guard you find the symbol of the Red Wizards of Thay.
The guard is finely made and seems to be long enough to use one or two handed. The pommel has been adorned with a large black diamond that swishes with divine and arcane energy inside it, so much so that it creates shadows to swirl around it as the light inside refracts and twists, occasionally sending a streak of divine energy up the blade and into the sky.
Unwieldy: This item is of an extremely foreign design, and ornately designed, making it extremely unwieldy and will require years of training and discipline to master.
