One Thousand Broken Dreams

One Thousand Broken Dreams is a unique magic +3 mithral holy drow bane elven longsword. It is thousands of years old and was made by the elf Datharian Mistwatcher when his home city was destroyed by the drow. After Datharian was slain in battle, the sword came to a female elf known only as the Stargazer, and she slew hundreds of drow with it. When she realised that her sister had been killed in the Battle of Nine Arrows, she died of grief, whereupon another elf picked up the sword. It has been in the possession of many different elves since then. The sword is worth around 100,000 gold pieces.

Properties
If the sword is wielded by an evil creature, the creature temporarily loses a level, regaining it when the sword is put down again.

Rumours
There is a rumour that if the sword is held by a good-aligned drow, it will shatter into a thousand shards of moonstone, each worth around fifty gold pieces. Each piece could be used to cast atonement to redeem a drow.
