'Battleaxe of Mauletar'
During the Tethyr civil war, the Battleaxe of Mauletar was in the
possession of the house of Ossyind. This noble family was betrayed
while trying to flee the country, and Mauletar, lead guard and personal
friend, took up the axe and sacrificed himself to buy enough time for
his companions to flee. His battle cry was favored by the gods, and was
echoed across the lands as a symbol of devoted friendship and loyalty. Thus, the magical axe was used to uphold these virtues, to be used against those who lacked honor and courage.

BALA'S AXE (TotSC)
Wizard Slayer:
Bala was a foul-tempered prince of a gully dwarf clan, which was
enslaved by a cruel elven mage in Thesk. Though Bala managed to escape
the more cowardly traits of his race he was even more filthy and
obnoxious than the average gully dwarf. Sickened of his enslavement,
Bala crept into the mage's lair and cracked the elf's skull open.
Although rumor has it that it was the dwarf's stench that overcame the
mage, it was, in fact, his enchanted axe that dispelled the elf's
magical defenses. It is obvious from the poor workmanship that Bala
himself crafted the axe. The mystery lies in where its power originates.
After a lengthy career of mage-slaying, Bala died, never having
revealed his secret to those who were willing to risk a lice infestation
by approaching him. Some say that the axe was powered by Bala's
intense hatred of wizards. The axe gives the owner the ability to
dispel magic once a day.

MACE +2
'Krotan's Skullcrusher'
Even the hordes have their heroes, and while they are vilified in
civilized company, their deeds are sometimes impressive nonetheless.
Krotan was an exceptionally intelligent orc, as far as orcs go, who
commanded an ever-shifting legion of ogres, orcs, hobgoblins, and other
assorted beasties during the Year of the Lost Lady, 1241DR. It was in
this year that a group of orc bandits allegedly kidnapped and killed a
Tethyrian noblewoman, and the response from authorities was a genocidal
slaughter of orcs throughout the south in her memory. Krotan mounted
a defense that ensured his people were not entirely destroyed; though
they were displaced. Krotan himself fell near the end of the conflict,
and his head was mounted outside the graveyard where the young lady
was buried. As a point of interest, orc's called this time the "Year of
Pushing Too Far."

Staffs of Striking are made by the Gold Elves of Drelagara on Evermeet.
The staffs have a life of their own and jump to attack in their bearer

powerful melee weapons do surface occasionally in Faerun. However,
each attack made with the staff uses a charge, hence causing it to

'Aule's Staff'
This finely crafted stave was among the spoils taken from the invaders
of Durlag's Tower. It is very deadly in combat, and was apparently the
property of a spellcaster that enjoyed standing on the frontlines. It
appears to have a core of iron, yet it is comparable in weight to a
normal weapon of its type. Part of the enchantment seems to come from
the hide that strengthens the grip; leather no doubt made from a
battle-ready creature of some sort. With the tastes and inclinations
of the attackers of the Tower well documented, the hide could be almost
anything...or anyone.

Lady Ashideena was a remarkable strategist who honed her skills against
the orc armies in the Year of the Black Horde. She met Dergat Wiltoon
-the warrior that wielded this weapon- when he foiled an ambush led by
the great orc Varstok, and soon after made him her Field Captain.
After serving at each other's side for the entirety of the war they
fell in love and eventually married. Historians report that Dergat
named his warhammer after his bride to remind himself of the love he
fought to protect. What Lady Ashideena thought of this is unknown.

He gave to a small clan of homeless dwarves that they might carve a

LONG BOW OF MARKSMANSHIP
'The Dead Shot'
Driven by years of rivalry, the Dukes of Spandeliyon and Delthuntle
decided to organize a private contest that would proclaim the better
archer between them. Both boasted the power of their magical bows, but
that wasn't enough for Edwall Dest, Duke of Spandeliyon. He arranged
for the theft of his opponent's bow, and on the day of the contest he
couldn't help gloat in his advantage. The Duke of Delthuntle, known
only as Raymond, demanded a demonstration of Edwall's skill on a
scarecrow that he had placed. Edwall Dest drew his longbow and released
the arrow with determination, not stopping to think how uncannily the
target resembled himself. The missile split the large voodoo doll's
head in twain, and at that moment Edwall's head did much the same.

Short bows were the first to be developed, although they were not called
such. This is more of a default term that refers to anything which is
not a long bow. Short bow staves are about 5 ' feet long on the average
. As the years passed, attempts were made to increase bow ranges.
Bows were either given longer staves or flexibility was increased with
no change to the length. The former resulted in what is now called the
long bow.

In order to protect their community from an encroaching orc logging
encampment, the hero Hannable the White was given this magnificent bow
by the dryads of Gulthmere Forest. A deadly confrontation followed
when the loggers dared to try and cut down a great oak tree, nearly
killing the dryad linked to it. With the help of powerful forest animal
s Hannable slew entire bands of orcs before any more damage was
inflicted upon the wood. The orcs were forced to abandon their plans,
lest they suffer the continued wrath of Hannable and the forest.
Needless to say, the hero who aided the grateful dryads lived happily .

name from the fact that it is halfway between the two-handed sword and

and his tale, though mostly long forgotten, was wrought with treachery

LONG SWORD +1
These swords are usually referred to as doubled-edged swords, war

single-edged blade. There is no single version of the long sword; the
design and length vary from culture to culture, and may vary within the
same culture depending on the era. Among the most common
characteristics of all long swords is their length, which ranges from
35 inches to 47 inches. In the latter case, the blade is known to take
up 40 inches of the total length. Most long swords have a double-edged
blade and a sharp point at the tip. Despite the tip, the long sword is
designed for slashing, not thrusting.

'Varscona'
Blades of this type were long used by Sharran priests during the
sacrificial rites of "Feast of the Moon" ceremonies. Legends say that,
when she passed on, the remains of this sword's wielder were mummified
and the blade was placed within her chest as a symbol of power.
In the first stage of a long forgotten ritual, she was to have been
exhumed in a season, born again in some new form. Unfortunately, cult
wars killed the few that knew of her existence; her tomb became a
prison where she was forgotten, and there she developed a rage that
bordered on insanity. Her grave was eventually found, but it was
deserted and gave no indication of her whereabouts. Some venture to
say that her anger was so concentrated, she became one with the very
blade of her weapon. Regardless, after hundreds of years surrounded
by constant hate, the sword harvested a power of its own. It is now
exceedingly deadly in combat.

LONG SWORD +1, FLAMETONGUE(TotSC)
'The Burning Earth'
There was a time before Neverwinter was warm and before the great
Anauroch was dry...or so it is said. Few relics remain to prove such
an age existed, and fewer still have an identifiable purpose.
"The Burning Earth" seems straightforward enough -it burns a victim
with magical fire, and a cryptic rune seems to suggest that the power
comes from the ground itself- but whomever constructed it remains a
mystery. It looks a perfectly serviceable weapon, but something in the
balance or grip is...wrong. It strains the forearm a touch, and does
not fit the hand just right. It doesn't seem to hurt a warrior's
performance, aside from the nagging doubt that the blade was not made
for him...or any other humanoid.

SCIMITAR +1
The long, curved, single edged blade is characteristic of both the
sabre and the scimitar, even though their origins lie in different
part of Faerun. Where as the sabre was intented mainly for horsemen,
mainly due to its versatility, the scimitar has a heavier oriental
influence. The "shamshir", as it was originally called, is larger,
has a greater curve to it, and is tapered to an elongated, sharp point.
The effect of this is that it is slightly slower but tends to be more
effective and deadly in combat. This particular weapon has been enhance
d magically to compliment the skill of the wielder.

THE VAMPIRE'S REVENGE
It would seem that the very speculation of this weapon's existence has
conspired to pull it from the realm of fantasy and into the everyday,
though, as with all things that come from dreams, it is not as it truly
seems. The blade is indeed vampiric, as the name would suggest; though
not in the manner the finder might have hoped. It is rumored that the
blade, instead of performing as one might think a vampiric blade would,
was actually constructed by vampires as a trap for those that could
eventually oppose them. These incredibly clever fiends have apparently
fashioned numerous versions of these unfortunate blades over time, and
they are the bane of all right-thinking adventurers. Each swing actually
inflicts damage upon the wielder, as his life energies are drained in
order to heal his intended victim. Were this not enough, the weapon is
cursed so as to prevent it's removal, and the user is smitten with a
wasting of the mind, that he might not even think of trying to rid
himself of it. This may be among the few magical treasures that are simply
not worth the trouble of seeking, and one might better spend ones time
having a lovely beverage, rather than gallivanting about the wilderness
with a pack full of rubbish chasing phantoms.

TWO HANDED SWORD +1
The two-handed sword is a derivative of the long sword. Weaponsmiths
have always looked for ways to improve existing weapons. In an effort
to improve the long sword, the blade was lengthened. Eventually, the
handle had to be extended and two hands became necessary to properly
swing the sword. The primary function of two-handed swords is cleaving
mounted knights and breaking up pike formations. This one is
particularly good at its job as it has been enchanted with a few
magical properties.

This is a legendary weapon of heroic proportions, especially among the

could fill a small sea. History will not admit that such a blade could
be forged and each consecutive owner seems to tie its origin to
whatever creation myth they believe. The most grandiose of these tales
is that of a great chieftain who sailed to the cliffs that supposedly
bordered the world. There he reached into the void, and his will
shaped the blade from nothing. Whatever the truth, in the right hands

The short sword is the first type of sword to come into existence. In

'The Whistling Sword'
Amidst the plains of the Eastern Shaar there lived a small human
blacksmith, whose nearly dwarven height did not do his soul justice.
Though a skilled weaponsmith, his true gift was his ability to whistle
a heartfelt song that could cause a grown man to cry like a newborn.
Only a reclusive mage shared and enjoyed time with the diminutive man,
however, as others could only see his small size as a source of
amusement. Deaf to the smith's song because of their own prejudices,
their ridicule slowly grew into cruel torment which eventually persuaded
the light-hearted man to leave his home forever. Before he left he
forged this weapon as a gift for his one friend, who also enchanted it
during the making. Thus the blade sweetly whistles to its wielder when
unsheathed. It was not long after that the mage also deserted the
small town in disgust, taking the sword with him on his journeys.
