Dragathil

Dragathil is a slightly curved rapier sized for Medium creatures. It has a row of small rubies down the center of the blade and a large basket hilt in the form of roses twined around three harps.

Dragathil  glows with a fierce red light when drawn, but despite its fearsome appearance, it is designed to subdue opponents peacefully rather than smite them with arcane fire or razor-sharp steel.

Dragathil  has the standard baneblade properties, and it is also a merciful weapon that allows the wielder to use hold person once per day. Only a character skilled at persuasion and negotiation (one who possesses at least 5 ranks of Diplomacy) may wield Dragathil.

Dragathil  was crafted by the archmage, Demron, before the fall of Myth Drannor, and is the fifth of his series of Baneblades.
