Weapon (greataxe), artifact

"There was once a story passed down by my father. In a time long since forgotten, when the firmament had not yet been split, there was a warrior. This warrior fought for the golden father, his hands never stained with blood. They were fae, like me, like my brothers, like my sisters, like my sons and my daughters. This warrior was a good friend of my ancestors. This warrior was the one who introduced the fae to the world beyond. There was a war that broke out, a battle that ravaged the realms. A blackness overtook everything, and the warrior went to combat it. The skies rang out with roars and a sickening laughter, blood splatters turned the clouds red and dyed the weave a sickening purple hue. When all things were said and done, all that remained of the warrior was his axe. Broken...unable to be repaired by anyone not touched by divine light"

 An axe of divine origin, wielded by a legendary archfae. Such a weapon has fallen into myth, never to be seen by mortal eyes, until one chosen by divine light is permitted to enter. The axe draws power from the purest light of the moon, the celestial object's mana flowing into this weapon and thus granting it unique abilities. 

Bane of Darkness: Those who make attacks with this weapon have advantage while attacking creatures that are considered undead, or demonic in nature. Against monstrosities, the wielder of this weapon gains +13 to their attacks. 

Spellcasting: Regardless of their natural ability to cast spells or not, the axe grants the wielder the ability to cast several spells, an unnatural trait as it was never capable of such before. Maybe the soul of the axe regretted it's inability to serve it's previous master and learn such an ability in secret. 

Glory of the Father, the Mother and the Son: Perhaps the mightiest ability of the axe, those who wield it will be granted the ability to cleanse an entire area, namely creating a sphere of 10 feet from which they are the center, that will cleanse any and all ailments and any blights surrounding them. This act is so holy, that any demonic entities that get within 5 feet of the sphere are instantly slain without mercy. 

With all this said and done, the axe however is...supposedly cursed. It is rumored that even those blessed with divine light are forever haunted by the image of the former master, seeking out the one that slaid them and as such, the wielder is permanently bonded with the weapon. The wielder is inflicted with the curse of the Hatemonger's Halo, a curse that can only be dispelled by magics of the highest level, or by that of a wish. 

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

Cleave.
