Khazid'hea

Khazid'hea is a sentient and magical sword. Khazid'hea means "Cutter" in the Drow dialect.

Khazid'hea is a finely crafted blade that can cut through flesh, bone, armor, and even rock. The blade itself is sentient, and can project its “thoughts” into the user's head and even affect their reasoning. On the occasions this has happened, they have gone into battle against impossible numbers without realizing it until their enemies lay dead before them. In the process, they often get hurt, but don’t notice. Khazid'hea is always hungry for blood and battle, and it is never sated, accepting it's wielders sacrifice in pursuit of a better one.

Khazid'hea has one desire: to be held by the greatest warrior. In efforts to do so, it will alter its hilt to appeal to its wielder. In order to become the weapon of Dantrag Baenre, it shaped itself into a demon's head. While attempting to snare Drizzt Do'Urden, it changed its handle into the head of a unicorn (the symbol of Mielikki). When it accepted Catti-brie, Khazid'hea adopted the form of the panther Guenhwyvar, with the symbols of the dwarven gods etched into its side.

During the conflict with Obould, Catti-brie is wounded and is unable to engage in combat. Thus Khazid'hea ensnares Delly Curtie, Wulfgar's jealous and neglected wife. The power of the sword, too great for Delly to control, consumed Delly and soon after, lead to her death by a group of orcs. Though Cutter was wielded by several of the pathetic orcs, it eventually found its way into the hands of Drizzt Do'Urden who uses it during his fight with Obould Many-Arrows. He loses the evil blade after it gets stuck in Obould's armor. As Obould tore his armor away to rid himself of enchanted spider buckles Kaer'lic Suun Wett had planted on his armor so that he would die in battle, he took up Khazid'hea, only to throw it away as soon as it shouted for him to wield it as his own, believing it to be trickery on the part of Drizzt. Khazid'hea is now wielded by Tos'un Armgo after he found it in the armor left behind by Obould Many-Arrows.

After he realizes that he doesn't have as much command over the weapon as he believed, Tos'un donates it to the elves of the Moonwood for study.
