Appearance

This double-sided blade is folded blue steel, intricately engraved with ancient runes that light up with electric flame in the presence of dragonkind. The hilt is inlaid with ebony and wrapped with silver wire; the pommel features two silvered dragon heads. 

History

This fabled greatsword was lost decades ago—it likely remains in some creature’s den. Since that loss, several duplicates of the legendary sword have been created—these are wielded today by mercenaries and adventurers alike, although they tend to end up in dragon hoards in the end when a would-be dragonslayer tackles something beyond her capacity to endure even with the blade in hand.
