- +3 magical weapon; it gains the versatile property, dealing 1d10 slashing damage when wielded with two hands.
- Sovereign's Refusal: A creature that does not meet the attunement requirement cannot lift the sword; its hand passes through the hilt as though it were mist.
- Orthodox Resolve: While attuned, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened, and your weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 radiant damage against creatures that have betrayed an allied clan or sworn oath.
By a creature accepted by the sword after willingly taking responsibility for the safety of others.
This flawless longsword bears a silver blade etched with the names of Murim Orthodox Alliance leaders and a jade-inlaid hilt. Though sought after for years, none have been able to grasp it since the passing of its previous master.
The sword has appeared in an abandoned alliance hall, and every major Murim faction is racing to prove that its champion bears the responsibility it demands.
The sword belonged to the previous leader of the Murim Orthodox Alliance. After his passing, clans, families, and sects searched for it for years, but none could grasp it, turning the weapon into a symbol of disputed legitimacy.
The blade reflects the face of anyone who reaches for it, but shows only darkness when that person has abandoned a sworn responsibility.
GM Notes
- The sword chooses its wielder; force, thieves' tools, and magic cannot bypass Sovereign's Refusal.
- Its political legitimacy may be more dangerous than its combat power.
- The weapon can reject an attuned wielder if they knowingly abandon those who depend on them.
