a pitted brass-hilted craquemarte

Description 

a pitted brass-hilted craquemarte

Constructed of mithglin, the craquemarte's curved blade displays a natural blue tint swirled with black.  A quillioned crossguard joins the blade to a hilt of deeply pitted brass.  Heavily overlapping canvas wraps the hilt providing excellent grip in wet conditions and terminates in a subtle pommel.  Gold etching adorns the widest area of the blade, depicting a wiry goblin donning a demonic-looking mask which spits upon writhing elven enemies.  There is a groove down the center of the weapon, bisecting it into two halves.
  You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.  Heatless violet flames burn across the craquemarte.  A strange necrotic haze radiates from the craquemarte.

Description 

a colossal dark argent battlesword wound at the hilt in serpentine strips of leather

Bound to the battlesword's hilt is a grey-swirled coraesine relic.  
The imposing weapon bears a blade polished to a silvery sheen, but a darker damascened pattern of curls and points reminiscent of flames licks its way down the weapon from hilt to tip.  Lacking a crossguard, the hilt is wrapped with a serpentine length of leather patterned to resemble wyrm's scales, the texture ensuring a nearly inexorable grip in battle.  You notice a small enchanter's glyph and Groghammer's crafting mark.  A strange necrotic haze radiates from the battlesword.  A strong aura of holy light radiates from the battlesword.

Handaxe

a black glaes throwing axe

Description 

a black glaes throwing axe

Compact in size, this crescent axe is forged from a single piece of translucent black glaes, lending it substantial weight.  Intricately etched designs of stylized wisps cover the broad crescent blade, forming heavy roils that taper in spirals to the long spike at the back.  Glittering golden veniom is inlaid into the patterns, making them shine against the darker glaes.  Gold filigree frames a matched trio of star emeralds set into the haft, and wide rondels cap the leather-wrapped grip below.  You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.  Attached to the end of the glaes throwing axe is an ethereal string, wavering in and out of existence with flickering dots of light.  It extends from the grip of the axe to your wrist, wrapping around the flesh.  The axe glows faintly with a pale blue light.

Properties

A faint aura of holy light radiates from the axe.  Attached to the end of the ora throwing axe is an ethereal string, wavering in and out of existence with flickering dots of light.  It extends from the grip of the axe and dangles loosely, twitching from time to time of its own accord.  The axe glows faintly with a pale blue light.

Properties

Undoer ~ The Bane of Luukos

Description 

an immense rolaren waraxe

The haft of this waraxe has been crafted of twin lengths of ironwood and ebonwood, the grey-on-black woods banded together by scored rings of golvern.  In opposition, blackened rolaren rises from the ironwood and argent rolaren from the ebonwood, creating a contrast that is both stark and compelling.  Along the massive blade, heavy Saramar runes have been etched across the carcass of a serpent enveloped in flame, the script flowing to a perfectly honed edge that radiates a subtle blue-white incandescence.  You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.  There is a groove down the center of the weapon, bisecting it into two halves.

There appears to be something written on it.

In the Giantman language, it reads:

a humongous warmaul

The warmaul is very big.  Actually, big doesn't really measure up.  It's huge, although huge can be said to slight its proportions.

Properties

Loresong 


A vision suddenly takes over your sight in a crumbling ruin...
An older human pirate clutches onto a cracked jewel as he stares down at a floor covered in a Luukosian mosaic.  He whispers, "Damn, so this is how it ends?"  His skin is slowly rotting where he holds onto the jewel.  In a neighboring room, he can hear the sound of footsteps exiting the ruins through a magical portal he created with the power of the jewel.  A large wave of water pours into the area and sweeps the pirate off his feet.
Water quickly floods the ruins as the vision ends.

The vision continue back inside the ruins...
The pirate is standing with the jewel still in hand, but the ruins are quickly flooding.  The pirate laughs and shouts, "Vahmyr Hiwynd has defeated you!"  The jewel begins to glow a cerulean hue and shatters into a dozen fragments.  The pirate's skin completely rots, and he falls into the water.
The vision abruptly fades to darkness.

The visions continue outside the ruins on the desolate isle.
The body of Vahmyr can be seen through the breach in the ruins.  The isle is slowly sinking into the sea, swallowing the cursed Luukosian sanctuary.  An odd current of water surrounds the corpse of Vahmyr, freeing his sea glaes harpoon.  The harpoon is carried off by the torrent and makes it way toward the Isle of Four Winds.  As it passes through Charl's Teeth, the harpoon rises from the sea, with a water wyrd taking shape holding the weapon.
Waves swell as the vision fades.

The final visions are revealed and have shifted to under a pier...
The water wyrd holds the harpoon and speaks in a language foreign to you.  The song distorts and suddenly you can understand the creature.  "You will live on, Vee, your soul bound into this harpoon.  This is your wake.  The wyrd's form unravels and the water splashes into the sea.  The harpoon drifts toward a ship where a man spots it and and picks it up.  An adventurer looks at the man and asks, "Hey Cidolfhus, what did you find?"  Cid replies in shock, "Vahmyr's harpoon."
Water cascades over your vision and the song ends.

a shimmering silver dhara

Description 

a shimmering silver dhara

A complex weave of pale jade and crimson silk wrap around a wisp-shaped grip that, like the rest of the dhara, has been expertly layered with waves of a silvery alloy that shimmers harshly in the light.

Along the length of the weapon some writing can be seen.  You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.  A strange necrotic haze radiates from the dhara.

Katana

a glowing veil iron katana etched with a churning pattern of coraesine

Description 

a glowing veil iron katana etched with a churning pattern of coraesine

Bound to the katana's hilt is a grey-swirled coraesine relic.  
It is hard to be sure but one can't help but hear the nearly imperceptible, thrumming chime of sound that ceaselessly seems to emanate from this weapon.  The moment the sensation hits the inner ear it somehow leaves the bitter taste of iron upon the back of the tongue that tastes not unlike blood, but dissolves quickly as an afterthought after a swallow or two.  One could marvel at the edge of the blade and regale in sonnets of its make, but they would be lost in the volumes of death it had already penned.  You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.
