This is the information about Sorrow, as I believe was compiled by Celtar. Having bonded to the weapon myself, I know this information to be true. -Madmountan
Sorrow's actual description is: a massive vaalorn sword
Some years ago at one of the grand pavilion auctions I saw a two hander come up and Bankur won the bid on it. I waited years for this blade to come into my hands. Keeping track of its owner and whereabouts. Finally I own the weapon, and it has indeed caused Celtar much sorrow. Hence the name he has given it.
Sorrow's Loresong can be found here: http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Loresong:_Sorrow_(saved_post)
Ok besides being x6 enchanted. This is everything I've learned about the blade. Its a "he" as well. From what I see from the bard song. Will it ever attune to Celtar? No idea. Fun roleplaying item but damn deadly to the weilder. A few typos I note in its abilites as well. New note: The sword starts at +18 the min training to hold it is 9th. The AS goes up on the sword as you train. I do not know the max bonus at this time. Though Celtar at 18th was getting a bonus of 36.
Further note: I think this is the message that starts when it starts attuning to you. (pure speculation on my part though)
The sword suddenly bathes you in a warm red light, pulsing with your breaths in a hypnotic rhythm.
p.s: baring the Thingol Diamond, Ive never seen such a heavly scripted item. Actually its much more scripted then the Diamond. And til I learn if it attunes or not, I wont be using anymore spirit draining powers if you follow. Three decays via spirit death were enough to teach me.<Grin>
(1. Violent light, Focused implosion)
You point your sword at a cold guardian. Suddenly a dim
violet light lashes out at a cold guardian!
A void rips open in the area, but not very close to a cold
guardian.
Air sucked from a cold guardian's lungs.
+10 Hits.
The cold guardian screams evilly one last time and goes still.
The cold guardian dies an abrupt death.
A number of items ranging from 8 to 19 feet from the void
were picked up and sucked toward the blackness. The items
did an accumulative damage of 70 as they caromed off a
cold guardian. The void disappears without further incident.

The sword is forged out of the darkest metal you have ever
seen. Thin tendrils of faint violet light dance their way from
the haft and along its length. For a brief moment you think
you hear a slight moaning coming from the sword itself.
