The
Elven Scourge is a rapier of unmistakable
beauty. It's blade is made from mithril
and holds
that silver blue hue, while the
handle is constructed
of intricately carved elven bone. It's
pommel is studded
with many large princess cut black sapphires
and beset with gold and platinum filigree. Soft black velvet is wrapped
for the grip.
This
weapon is ancient even by elven standards.
It was forged by a cabal of mighty wizards
eons ago
while the elves and the drow still battled
on the surface.
Magic now forgotten and forbidden to
the drow
was used to create this foul blade.
The
Elven Scourge was made for the drow prince
Shar Narshan to aid him in the unholy
slaughter of
his fair skinned brothers.
For a century Shar used the scourge
to slay elven heros
and champions by the score, and soon
his
reputation as a cruel warlord was known
to all.
Shar's reputation became the instigator
of his demise.
Jeolous of his brother's fame, Karjan
Narshan poisoned his
brother and stole the blade.
Karjan was never
much of an accomplished warrior
and shortly after he murdered his brother
he
was killed by an elven mage. The Elven
Scourge
was taken by the elves and hidden for
safe keeping.
As
time passed on the
drow were banished to the lightless
caverns and
recesses of the Underdark, and the elves
lived in relative peace.
The Elven Scourge resurfaced a few decades
ago in
the hands of a human thief named Dregor.
While drunk one night at the Whipsering Banshee in the city of Derlusk,
Dregor boasted about how he made off
with
the weapon as his fellow adventuring
companions
were stuck fighting a protective Baelorn
in an elven
ruin some hundred miles to the east.
A
week after this night two moon elf
bladesingers visited the Whispering
Banshee
looking for Dregor. He had skipped town
the night before,
wanting to be in Baldur's Gate by early
summer.
Dregor has not been seen since that
night, nor have
the two bladesingers who took chase.
Whatever befell the three is unkown,
but it appears
that once again The Elven Scourge is
lost in secrecy.. Or is it?
This
sword is a unique weapon.
It acts as a rapier +1/+1 when used
in combat against
non-elven opponents. However when
the blade is used to attack any full
blooded
elf(half-elf's are not included) it
is a vorpal weapon +3/+3,
and inflicts double dammage when decapitation
does not occur.
