Pig's Eye

Pig's Eye, originally named Gruumshacan, was the elven enchanted short sword created to slaughter orcs.

Description
Pig's Eye was a beautiful sword with a decorated blade and with an orcish glass eye embedded in its hilt. The sword's name and the glass eye were a reference to the legend of Corellon, the father of elves, and Gruumsh, and their famous battle in which the orcish god lost his eye to the First of the Seldarine.

Powers
Gruumshacan was a Moonblade of the House Caith. It possessed a +2 enchantment, which dramatically grew in strength when the sword was wielded against orcs. Upon a successful hit, Pig's Eye had a coin-toss of a chance of blinding its orc target.

History
Gruumshacan was crafted in the by an elven enchanter named Shenarr Caith for his ranger cousin, Velaic Caith. The ranger wielded the Pig's Eye against vile orcs of Cormanthor who menaced the City of Song, Myth Drannor. The blade was passed along to the ranger's son Tredain Caith and grandson, Galesic Caith. The sword remained within the family for many centuries until House Caith decided to relocate to Evermeet. The family decided to sell Gruumshacan, the family's invaluable Moonblade, to finance their aged uncle Shenarr Caith's transformation into a baelnorn. Shenarr found it amusing that Pig's Eye allowed him to avoid natural death.

By 1281 DR, Gruumshacan ended up in the hands of Conlan, the proprietor of Kuldahar's blacksmith shop.
