Autumn's Star

Autumn's Star is the weapon of the Pumpkin King, Eochai. It appears as a jack-o'-lantern with a long vine growing out of the top for the handle and thorny protrusions jutting out if its head. This weapon was used in a war between the kingdom of Croatoa and the trolls and giants that inhabited that area of the Feywild. Originally, it was wielded by a Croatoan hero named Streng, who died in battle against his greatest foe, a giant known as Jack in Irons, and became a martyr for his people. His spirit now inhabits Autumn's Star, and only allows himself to be wielded by warriors who have slain a giant in battle.

Personality. Autumn's Star is inhabited by the spirit of a Croatoan hero named Streng, who died in battle against his greatest foe, a giant known as Jack in Irons, and became a martyr for his people. Streng has a strong hatred for giants and trolls, and will urge its wielder to destroy them whenever he's in the presence of one. Streng is also very good at singing drinking songs, and loves the atmosphere of taverns and bars where alcohol is flowing and people are making merry.
