Crusader (sword)

Crusader was the magical longsword belonging to the Gareth Dragonsbane, the paladin king of Damara in the mid–14 century DR.

History
The sword was blessed by Ilmater and Gareth acquired it while he was still an adventuring knight. Gareth used it throughout his time in the Cold Lands and held onto it for the rest of his days. A powerful weapon in its own right, as he grew in power, so did it.

By 1359 DR, Gareth, then the Baron of Bloodstone Barony, was famed for riding out across the land atop his warhorse Glendan, espousing the cause of good with Crusader raised over his head.

Powers
Crusader was a +5 holy avenger longsword, with all the magical powers that went with such a weapon, namely dispelling magic and doing extra harm to evil creatures.

Furthermore, once a day each, it could heal the injured of all their wounds (as with heal); increase the wielder's strength (as with strength), and charm people on touch (as with charm person).

It also had a chance to utterly obliterate (as with disintegrate) the weaker denizens of the Lower Planes on striking them in battle.
