Sir Hadrian’s broadsword
Few men earned such a fearsome reputation as this fallen paladin. He would charge fearlessly into any battle and leave a trail of body parts behind him. He would sooner behead a heretic than offer a chance to repent. And when he could find no more monsters to slay, he turned on his comrades, accusing them of treachery as he rent them to pieces. The men he once called his friends were the first to be executed. For his actions, he was cast out of the royal paladins and his name erased from their records. But that didn’t stop him from becoming a killer. Without a sane cause to call his own, he soon grew to kill simply for the sport of it. Never could he rest or settle down, something always drove him into battle even as old age crept up on him. Though Sir Hadrian eventually vanished, his anger and bloodlust lingers in his blade to this day.
A knight’s sword of old design. Old bloodstains cover the hilt, but it is still quite sharp. It is normally a close, +1 damage weapon. When you call upon the bloodthirsty spirits of this weapon, your attacks also get the messy and forceful descriptors as battle-lust inflames you. However, the rage of this weapon may fog the wielder’s mind, making him unable to distinguish friend or foe. There is also a rumor that Sir Hadrian’s spirit still walks the land, and he wants his sword back…
