This
sword appears to be just a hilt, pommel,
and crosspiece roughly the size for
a two-handed sword.
It is made of the skeletal remains of
a hand and
forearm bone of a human.The forearm
bones spread at the end
at a 90 degree angle (forming the crosspiece)
going away
from each other, both ending in a mock
raptor claw
made of adamantite, clutching a gem.
One is a
black sapphire, the other is an extremly
rare black diamond
with a sigil upon it, inlayed with blood
red ruby dust.
Between the forearm bones is a large,
hollowed
crystal filled with some unknown smokey
gray dust.
The hand bone is grasping a nice sized
king's tear gem and has a ring on the middle finger.
Nexus
was a half-elf (drow) male, muti-classed
necromancer/ specialty priest of Myrkul
18/20 level,
upon attaining lichdom. Before the transformation
into lichdom,
he saved a tissue sample to be cloned
in case
the lich potion failed.
It
was successful. He made the sword to house his phylacery.
The bones and spirit are all that remain
of the clone, serving as a
guardian for the phylacery. He now roams
the mutiverse
searching for more magic to feed his
hunger for knowledge. His
biggest goal is to bring Lord Myrkul
back from the dead,
and step in as a favored proxy. The
last time he checked in on the
where-abouts of the sword, it was in
the possession of a death
knight serving as a general in the Baatezu
army on the cubes of
Acheron.
Whenever
the
hilt is grasped by a living or undead
creature a
blade of glowing "corspelight" apears.
This blade ignores any physical objects
as
if it weren't there, including armor,
only magic and DEX counts.

Notes for DM-
The black sapphire has an inter-dimensional
pocke
t containing the runes and rites
for whatever necromantic spells you
deem appropriate.
The black diamond is the actual phylacery.
The king's tear holds the
spirit contained in the sword.The ring
is a ring of
vampiric regeneration. The dust is the
powdered remains
of various undead. In the event that
the sword is weilded
by an undead creature, all powers stay
the same with the exception of the chill dam. and STR drain. This is instead
replaced
with the special attack of the undead
in question.
In the case of the liches destruction,
the spirit travels
immeditally to the phylacery. If wielder
is alive,
they are drained of all levels and they
die, no save,
and the lich takes possession of the
body. If undead,
the lich will take control as soon as
possible
ie. save vs. spell once aday.
