A weapon of grim reputation in the frozen
north, Blood Iron was crafted by a wicked barbarian
shaman named Hekedder. He gave the sword to a cousin
as a gift. The weapon saw a good amount of use in various
barbarian hands as the years went by. Eventually, each
owner found themselves hated for having the weapon in
their possession. The taint of necromancy is so deplored
by the northern tribes that the cursed name of Blood
Iron became common knowledge among them. To this day,
barbarians will not touch the cursed weapon and dislike
even speaking of it. It is crafted of crude, poorly
worked iron and the surface of the blade is covered
in gouge marks and the imprint of bad hammer strikes.
The grip is wrapped in bright red leather. |

The short sword is the first type of
sword to come into existence. In the simplest of terms,
a short sword can be considered a dagger with a blade
so long that it can no longer be called a dagger. The
term short sword does not exist in sword classifications.
However, it has come to be used to describe a double-edged
blade about two feet in length. The sword tip is usually
pointed, ideal for thrusting. Inscriptions of power
can be seen etched on the surface of the blade. |

A beautiful weapon with a mocking name,
Pig's Eye is an elven blade dedicated to the slaying
of orcs. Although its proper name is Gruumshacan, most
people who know of the blade refer to it as Pig's Eye.
The name is an allusion to the fateful blow which Corellon
Larethian, patron of the elven race, inflicted up Gruumsh,
head of the orc pantheon. The glass-encased orc eye
that rests in the hilt makes it easy to recognize. The
blade was crafted in 239 DR by an elven enchanter and
weaponsmith named Shenarr Caith. After he had finished
imbuing the weapon with its power, he gave it to his
cousin, the ranger Velaic Caith, who put it to extensive
use against orcs near Cormanthyr. His son, Tredain,
and his grandson, Galesic, also employed the blade for
hundreds of years without misfortune. Eventually, the
Caith family decided to make the long migration to Evermeet.
As Gruumshacan was not the family's moonblade, the Caiths
decided to trade the weapon for some of the funds necessary
to transform their ancient uncle Shenarr into a baelnorn.
The last recorded remarks from Shenarr indicate that
he was more than slightly amused at how the little blade
had helped him defy death. |

Short sword +2: '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. |

The sellsword Naradon of Thesk was known
for his ability to quickly and efficiently defeat enemy
mages even when outnumbered. He earned this reputation
with the help of three items: Potions of Speed, Boots
of Speed, and his trusted short sword, Spell Diver.
Unlike many other magical weapons, Spell Diver does
not have a dark, murderous history. Naradon retired
from adventuring when he was thirty-two. His fondness
for Potions of Speed caught up with him when he died
of old age four years later. His only heir had no desires
to be an adventurer. He sold the weapon to a known cat
burglar a few years after his father's death. The sword
can be recognized by the kingfisher stamped into the
ricasso. |

This short sword was crafted by highly
skilled halfling weapon smiths in conjunction with three
priests of Urogalan, the Black Hound. The priests of
the god of the dead commissioned and enchanted the sword
for a famous halfling adventurer named Eriadon Oakhollow.
Eriadon was well known for his fight against those who
would defile the tombs of his people. The sword has
a dull, even blade with deep engraving on one side.
The engraving is in Thorass and lists, in various tables,
all of the days of a tenday, months of the year, cycles
of the moon, major halfling festivals and observances,
and the years of Eriadon's life. The other side of the
blade simply features the maker's mark, a black hound's
head, and the words "THE SWORD OF DAYS." Tarnished silver
in the engraving lines keeps the words and Images dark.
Upon Eriadon's death, the sword was passed on to a traveling
priest of Arvoreen the Defender who is believed to have
died fighting goblins in the High Moor. |
