Description: Basalin was a large man, rumored, far from his hearing, to be a were-bear. He long
wielded the sword Albruin in the protection of his village, slaying giant spiders that
plagued the area. The sword protected him from their poison and also allowed him to see
invisible Red Wizards who controlled some of the more fantastic variants. The reason for
their enmity is unknown.

Bastard Sword +1,+3 vs. Shapeshifters: 'Kondar'
Description: At first glance, this sword appears much like any other. In the presence of any
shapeshifting creature however, the blade becomes warm as its power stirs. Its namesake
was the original owner of the weapon, and his tale, though mostly long forgotten, was
wrought with treachery and deceit. Rumors persist that he paid a fearsome price for this
blade, but with it he revealed the true identities of those that sought to betray him.
Their names and crimes however, are long since lost to history.

song or legend.

Item Code: SW1H63
Description: This blade belonged to Ho Mang, a traveler from Kara-Tur who accepted dubious service
at court throughout Faerun. Skilled in "persuasion", he would use this sword to
perform the "Death Of A Thousand Cuts", an ancient ritual from his homeland
involving a lengthy series of small, painful incisions. The properties of the blade
prevent blood from clotting, and the victim slowly bleeds to death. The sword was stolen,
and its whereabouts have been a mystery until now.

Item Code: SW1H65
Description:
Dungeon-delving Lehorgan was lucky indeed to discover this Halruaan blade in the ruins of
the ancient sorcerer Kullon's haunt, for it would save his life that very day. The ghost
of Kullon himself attacked the intruder, but the flames that followed only singed,
absorbed into the glowing Bloodbrand. Concealing himself, Lehorgan watched in amazement as
the ancient sorcerer tried to divine his location and again the sword protected him.
Surviving this brush with death, the young man used this second chance and the gold from
selling the blade to, as he put it, "get the hell out of adventuring."
