Khazid'hea

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

Properties
Khazid'hea is a finely crafted long sword 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; it would accept it's wielders sacrifice in pursuit of a better one. Khazid'hea has one desire: to be held by the greatest warrior. In an effort to do so, it has altered its hilt to appeal to a prospective wielder.

History
Cutter first appeared as one of the long swords wielded by Dantrag Baenre, the weapons master of House Baenre in Menzoberranzan. While it was carried by Baenre Weapons Master, the sword's hilt appeared as a demon's head. While Drizz't Do'Urden was leading Catti-brie and Artemis Entreri from Menzoberranzan, Dantrag confronted them; Drizz't and the Baenre drow came to blows. Drizz't defeated Dantrag and thus acquired the sword. After Drizz't's victory, the sword changed its pommel into the head of a unicorn (the symbol of Mielikki). Preferring his scimitars to the long sword, Drizz't gives Cutter to Catti-brie and, after she dominates the sword's will it accepted her; adopting the form of the panther, Guenhwyvar, for its hilt, with the symbols of the dwarven gods etched into its side.

During the conflict with Obould Many-Arrows, Catti-brie was wounded and unable to engage in combat. Khazid'hea became furious and ensnared Delly Curtie; Wulfgar's jealous and neglected wife. The power of the sword, too great for Delly to control, consumed her and, soon after, lead her to her death at the hands of a group of orcs. Though Cutter was wielded by several of the orcs after this, it eventually found its way back into the hands of Drizzt Do'Urden who used it during his fight with Obould.

Drizz't lost the blade after it got stuck in Obould's armor. After he tore his armor away, to rid himself of enchanted spider buckles Kaer'lic Suun Wett had planted there, so he would die in battle, Obould took up Khazid'hea. But, he threw it away as soon as it shouted for him to wield it as his own; Obould believed it to be trickery on the part of Drizzt. Later, Khazid'hea was wielded by Tos'un Armgo, after he found it in the armor left behind by Obould Many-Arrows.

Tos'un realized that he did not have as much command over the weapon as he believed so, returned the sword to Drizz't who donated it to the elves of the Moonwood for study.
