Description:
Carsomyr is a weapon of legend, perhaps one of the most powerful blades ever forged on
Faerun, though its origin and history is thought purposefully forgotten, such that the
sword itself never overshadow the importance of the struggles that must be fought today.
It is infused with the very essence of virtue, and requires as much from any paladin that
would hope to wield it. The evils of the Realms must truly stand aside when this weapon is
brought to bear, their magic dispelled with a word, steadfastly resisted with ease.
Carsomyr also harbors a special distaste for the forces of evil and chaos, and such
creatures must fear additional damage from its touch in battle.

Item Code: 2W2H19
Description:
This is a cursed sword which performs perfectly under every test, save the heat of
battle. Upon entering combat, the wielder will immediately go berserk, killing everything
within reach until either calming down or falling unconscious. A very powerful sword, but
one must decide whether or not it is worth the risk. Even after the battle-fury has ended,
this sword can only be removed via an exorcism using a remove curse spell.

Item Code: SW2H99
Description:
The title does not refer to the blade itself, but rather to the woman who originally
wielded it in the icy hinterlands of Faerun. Her name was Carerra, and she was a veritable
firestorm that swept across arctic trolls and the northern orcish tribes. She was a hated
enemy of many a shaman whose magic often floundered against her fury. After a lifetime of
raucous battle, it was old age that eventually claimed her. The sword was passed to her
granddaughter, an adventurer, who presumably brought it to Amn.

Keldorn distinguished himself early in his career as a paladin, and received this blade

form of magical damage. None but Keldorn may use this sword.

Description:
When the hero Trueblood destroyed the Harbinger, a demon gorging itself on the blood of
peasant folk near Luskan, he bound its essence in the only vessel capable of holding it,
his fabled sword, Deliverance. Though the evil creature was dominated by the will of the
semi-sentient blade, it was not truly defeated, and it transformed the weapon from within.
Now it acts much like any other enchanted weapon, but when it strikes, there is a small
chance that a fireball erupts, a sign that the demon within still rages at its
imprisonment. There is also a chance that any ogre it hits will be turned to stone.
Whether this is an ability of the demon or a vestigial power of the original blade is not
known.

Item Code: WAS2H
Description:
Lawrence Lilarcor was well known, not for being brave, but as an idiot. As the tale
goes, the boastful Lilarcor left his village at the urging of his friends so that the
"great hero" could do battle with a devious Treant. He walked for days in the
dead of winter until, feverish, he found his target and began an epic wrestling match.
Unfortunately (or perhaps luckily), the "Treant" was nothing more than a craggy
old normal oak. His friends had been jesting, not actually expecting that Lilarcor would
go fight the fictitiously dangerous tree. That might have been the end of it, but
Lilarcor, not really knowing what a Treant was in the first, didn't realize the truth. He
eventually uprooted the oak and, marching proudly home, he declared himself a hero. Thus
was born a laughing stock of epic proportions, and over time the name of Lilarcor became
the sacrificial fool in many tales of "less than brilliance".
It is not known whether this enchanted weapon is Lilarcor himself, perhaps imprisoned by
an evil mage or some other odd coincidence of fate, but it certainly acts in a manner
consistent with his level of competence. If it is he, he has never bemoaned his captivity.
He might not realize, or care, that he is no longer a human.
As a weapon, Lilarcor has its uses, but many a warrior has eventually given it away.
Banter such as "Ouch, that musta hurt", "Oh yeah! Got 'im good", and
"Beware my bite for it might...might...might really hurt or something" is a
constant barrage on a warrior's psyche.

are similarly rendered harmless.

A social faux pas placed upstart Andor Licon in a duel with Baron Eeirk, heir to a
warrior king. Though they seemed of even skill, Andor grew oddly weaker with each hit of
the Baron's family blade. Panicking, he bade his bodyguards kill Eeirk. Despite his claims
of morality, some noted that the young noble had positioned his men before the duel was
even underway, and though he professed disdain for its dark magic, Andor made a tidy
fortune off the sale of the evil blade.

Description:
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.
