Intercession

Intercession was an enchanted, intelligent longsword that granted the wielder added skill at deflecting incoming attacks.

Description
While the sturdy steel sword appeared rather mundane―with a simple blade, guard, and grip made of ogre-skin leather―it possessed significant power. Intercession possessed slight empathetic intelligence and was capable of guiding the movements of its wielder.

Powers
Intercession struck more true and inflicted more harm than non-magical blades, in thanks to its +1 enchantment. By means of the empathic bond it formed, the sword helped its wielder block and deflect incoming melee attacks.

History
The sword was crafted by Peth, a wizard that lived in Elturel as of the. Peth made the weapon specifically for an acquaintance of his, a ranger from Soubar named Kelhanion.

Kelhanion was killed by over a dozen trolls when traveling through the Trollbark Forest some years later.

Sometime over the next decade, Intercession made its way north to the icy keep of Dragon's Eye in the Spine of the World mountains.
