Zar'roc was the battleaxe of the fallen dragonborn warrior Morzan. The name "Zar'roc" meant "misery" in the Ancient Language. The name "misery" complemented the sword's actions, for Zar'roc was known for its destruction of many Dragons and their kin.
Zar'roc's pommel is tear-drop shaped, set with a ruby the size of a small egg. The hilt is wrapped with red and black leather strips. The blade itself is an iridescent red. Both the blade and sheath were marked with a "strange-looking symbol" that was etched in black. This symbol was a glyph in the Liduen Kvaedhí (an ancient poetic script) which presumably translated as "misery" to match the Ancient Language name of Zar'roc. Zar'roc was crafted by Rhunön, an elven smith.
To attune, the blade must be coated in the blood of a dragon.

If the sword isn't bathed in blood within 1 minute of being brought to the hand by its wielder, its wielder must make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. On a successful save, the wielder takes 3d6 psychic damage. on a failed save, the wielder is dominated by the sword, as if by the dominate monster spell, and the sword demands that it be bathed in blood. The spell effect ends when the sword's demand is met.
