This scimitar is a beautiful piece of workmanship. 
It has an extremely sharp blade consisting of a single piece of carved diamond, thus making it valuable indeed! The handle piece is made of a single piece of carved onyx.
 
The history of the blade is lost in antiquity,
as the carving of gemstones into blades is a talent long forgotten. 
It was found in a deep dragon's treasure hoard by a
drow house of Menzoberranzan, which hid it from wandering
eyes (since it was obviously not drow-made, the weapon
could withstand the sunlights debilitating effects, making it
very valuable to any drow).
 
The drow house was later destroyed when rumors 
that the house was worshipping another deity other than
Lolth surfaced. The lone survivor, a crown prince by 
the name of Chazmyr Arabani, managed to escape to the
surface with the blade, and is now the
current owner of Lyonesse. He is using it to further the 
cause of good everywhere and is often found
traveling in the company of a beautiful drow priestess 
of Eilistraee by the name of Xune Kilsek in the Forgotten Realms.
 
 Overall, it is a scimitar +2. As the day slowly fades to night,
the blade gives off a twinkle of a glow from within the
diamond, which grows until night has fully fallen and the blade 
shines with the equivalent of a light spell in a 30' radius. 
In addition, on an unmodified roll of 18, 19, or 20, the blade
bursts into pure white flames for a brief moment,
engulfing the target hit and causing an additional 1d10 damage.
