Long Sword +1	SW1H05
These swords are usually referred to as doubled-edged swords, war swords, or military swords. In many cases, the long sword has a single-edged blade. There is no single version of the long sword; the design and length vary from culture to culture, and may vary within the same culture depending on the era. Among the most common characteristics of all long swords is their length, which ranges from 35 inches to 47 inches. In the latter case, the blade is known to take up 40 inches of the total length. Most long swords have a double-edged blade and a sharp point at the tip. Despite the tip, the long sword is designed for slashing, not thrusting.

Alamion	ZZF6AL
This longsword is part of a matched pair of weapons, the other being the short sword Malamion. Alamion’s blade is slightly thinner than a typical long sword blade and features a thin fuller down the center. Acid-etched snowflake patterns are scattered along the length of the blade, most of them concentrated towards the hilt. The hilt of the sword is made of bronze sandwiched between two off-white pieces of ivory carved to show clouds unleashing winds and snow. The grip is covered with mother-of-pearl lashed securely into place with bronze wire. The pommel of the weapon is a solid bronze globe with the snowflake lozenge of Auril etched into the bottom. The full history of this blade and its brother have been well documented. Roughly two hundred years ago, a wizard from Shannath named Obren the Left-Handed was hired to make a pair of swords for the glory of Auril. Obren reluctantly did so, producing Alamion (“Frost Daddy”) and Malamion (“Frost Baby”) over a five year period. After a dispute about Obren’s fee, priests of Auril tried to take the sword from him by force. The exact outcome of the battle is unclear, but Obren’s swords did not end up in the hands of Auril’s faithful. Thirty years later, a warrior named Berdino in Procampur bragged that he had a blade that could kill demons in a single strike. Berdino was found dead on the shore two tendays later, the victim of many poisoned crossbow bolts. The new owner of Alamion was a vain, egotistical thief called Pellas the Fair. Pellas had acquired Malamion, quite by accident, fourteen years earlier and strongly desired its brother when he learned of its existence. Pellas held onto the swords until he died at the hands of a paladin named Garijon Renold of Torm. Garijon found the blades invaluable in his battles against the fiery denizens of the outer planes and the two swords were passed on for generations from paladin to paladin. Heleban of Ithmong, a paladin of Tyr, was the last warrior known to have used the swords. His battles against slavers and pirates on the Sword Coast are believed to have brought him to an untimely end.

The Blade of Bael*	BAEL
Created for a wild mercenary named Bael Cooper, the Blade of Bael had a short and violent history. Bael was the rowdy, hotheaded son of cooper, and he did all he could to get out of his small town of Soubar and head for Baldur’s Gate. When he arrived in Baldur’s Gate, he hired himself out as a mercenary, thug, and caravan guard, quickly earning a reputation as an incredibly unreasonable and hot-tempered man. Within his first six months in Baldur’s Gate, he had been arrested five times and was known to have almost killed at least four different people who accidentally looked him in the eye for a moment too long. Somehow, however, Bael attracted a small following of easily impressionable thugs who joined him on his seedy adventures. Eventually, Bael managed to scrape together enough money to pay a wizard to craft a powerful sword for him. The Blade of Bael aided its owner well until the mean-spirited brute decided to rough up and harass a young priestess of Eldath. When local Tempurans heard what Bael had done, they descended on him in the street and beat him with clubs, then threw him into the bay. They took his sword to their temple and later auctioned it off to a worthy owner.	Statistics : Damage: 2D4 +3 THACO: +3 Weight: 4 Speed Factor: 3 Game Stats : Price: 28,000 Lore: 58
Erevain’s Broad Sword	EREVAIN
This broad sword used to belong to Erevain Blacksheaf, a wandering elf from Evereska. It was made in 1221 DR by Evereskan Greycloaks. Erevain’s sword was unusual among his people, who normally favor lighter swords.

Kiss of the Gloomfrost*	KISSGF
This weapon was fashioned by your hands, guided by the dwarf, Tiernon. Forged from ice taken from the walls of the Gloomfrost, this blade has taken some of the glacier and some of your strength into it, creating a formidable weapon. Though made of ice, the weapon is only slightly cold to the touch and does not melt, even when exposed to the hottest flames. HoW Quest : Crafted by Tiernon Denthelm, Gloomfrost.

Pale Justice	ZZ57PJ
This sword was made with one purpose: to destroy evil. Though a powerful weapon, Pale Justice has humble beginnings. The plain sword was crafted by a devout worshipper of Tyr named Renold. Renold spent thirty years of his life perfecting the metalworking techniques that allowed him to craft an almost flawless blade. As soon as Renold had completed the unadorned weapon, he turned it over to the church of Tyr. The priest who received it placed the naked blade on his monastery’s altar. He asked his brothers to join him in praying to Tyr to ask their god to bless the weapon with holy power. The brothers never touched the blade, nor did they speak of it. After ten years, despite the fact that all of the other brothers lost faith in the blade ever becoming enchanted, the original priest, Edan, continued his prayers in silence. Another twenty years passed, and there was still no sign from Tyr. Visiting priests of Helm scoffed at Edan’s blind devotion to the blade. It was then that, without warning, Edan walked up to the altar and gently removed the dust-covered blade from the altar. The priest of Helm asked Edan if he had finally come to his senses. Edan replied that he had, that he had been expecting the wrong thing from Tyr the entire time. He stated that Tyr had done his work long ago. The priest of Helm laughed out loud at Edan’s claim and asked his bodyguard to draw his sword. The magnificent weapon in the hand of the Helmite had a gilded guard set with pearls. Runes were etched along the blade, with a small cluster of fine rubies set in the ricasso. The priest of Helm laughed again and spoke. “This is truly a sword blessed by the gods. Your weapon looks like an ordinary soldier’s blade. It pales in comparison.” Edan calmly grabbed the blade by the tang and swatted at the guard’s weapon. The priest of Helm’s laughter cut off quickly as he stared down at his retainer’s broken weapon. He stood there speechless as Edan set the blade down and began to reply. “Justice always pales in comparison to vanity and ostentatious displays of power. I expected Tyr to manifest his divine will in this blade with lightning and fire. I should have remembered how the blade was given to me… with simple charity and humility. Justice is the right of every man, no matter how rich or poor, no matter how educated or ignorant. It should be found as often in the fields of farmers as it is in the fields of battle.” Edan took the blade to a local weapon smith and had him put a wooden, leather wrapped grip on it. He then gave it to a fledgling paladin and asked him to always remember the potential for charity and kindness in the human race.

Restored Blade of Aihonen	JHOSWD2
This once-shattered blade lay in the breast of Icasaracht, the last of the white dragon matriarchs that ruled the Spine of the World. It was wielded by Aihonen, a distant ancestor of Jhonen the fisherman in Easthaven – the sword has lain at the bottom of the lake for almost a century, waiting to be returned to one of its wielder’s bloodline. How it has been restored to its original state is unknown, but whatever the reason, it looks like a powerful weapon that can help you free Easthaven from Brother Poquelin. The blade seems to draw its strength from Lac Dinneshere itself. As long as the wielder is within a dragon’s flight distance of the lake, the blade is a fearsome weapon. HoW Quest : Given to Tiernon Denthelm in exchange for the Singing Blade of Aihonen, Gloomfrost.

Singing Blade of Aihonen*	JHOSWD3
This once-shattered blade lay in the breast of Icasaracht, the last of the white dragon matriarchs that ruled the Spine of the World. It was wielded by Aihonen, a distant ancestor of Jhonen the fisherman in Easthaven – the sword has lain at the bottom of the lake for almost a century, waiting to be returned to one of its wielder’s bloodline. The blade seems to draw its strength from Lac Dinneshere itself. As long as the wielder is within a dragon’s flight of the lake (a considerable distance by most race’s standards), the blade is a fearsome weapon. The dwarven smith Tiernon has “soothed” this blade – apparently, he was the one who forged it in the first place. His skills have awoken some of the blade’s original powers that had been drained when it was used to slay Icasaracht.

Valiant	VALIANT
This legendary blade was wielded for a short time by the warrior Ilban of Elturel. It is from his exploits in Calimshan that the weapon gained its name. Before Ilban, however, Valiant was in the possession of a holy slayer from distant Zakhara. According to sages, the light sword was crafted to serve an order of assassins. Valiant’s owners survived through many incredible ordeals, mostly because of the magic of the weapon. The weapon was lost in Calimshan when a holy slayer pursued a pasha’s blasphemous agents to Calimport. The scimitar remained in the hands of Baris Cabal for about a dozen years before the band was broken up by Ilban and his companions. Ilban’s exploits took Valiant into battle against sandmen, giant scorpions, desert raiders, evil sorcerers and the demonic servants of Celan Harad.
