Hornblades

The Hornblades were the twin favored weapons of the Faerûnian goddess Mielikki, the Supreme Ranger.

Description
Each was a scimitar-sized hornblades. As such, it appeared, even on close inspection, to just be a simple piece of animal horn, at least long, set into a handle or grip. But when a particular spot was pressed, it would extend a sickle-shaped blade that was quite sturdy and sharp. As scimitars, they weighed.

Abilities
After the Time of Troubles of 1358 DR, her swords were noted to be regular hornblades +3. When shared with mortals, one functioned as a rod of alertness and the other as a rod of security, both with the full fifty charges.

After the, the Hornblades were each +5 defending holy keen mighty cleaving scimitars.

Uses
Though Mielikki was skilled in fighting with her Hornblades, she rarely actually used them, as she did not engage in melee often, and favored her fists when she did. She would rather rely on her own skills and magic and her longbow, named Hartsong.

She sometimes lent these weapons to mortal rangers who embarked on great quests on her behalf.

Based on the Hornblades, the scimitar was the favored weapon of Mielikkian clerics.
