Khazid'hea

Khazid'hea was a sentient and magical sword. "Khazid'hea" meant "Cutter" in the Drow language.

Properties
Khazid'hea was a finely crafted longsword that could cut through flesh, bone, armor, and even rock. The blade itself was sentient, and could project its "thoughts" into the user's head and even affect their reasoning. On such occasions, users have gone into battle against impossible numbers without realizing it until their enemies lay dead before them. In the process, they often got hurt, but didn't notice.

Khazid'hea was always hungry for blood and battle, and it was never sated. Khazid'hea had one desire: to be held by the greatest warrior. It would even accept its' wielders death in the pursuit of a better wielder. In an effort to do so, it altered its hilt to appeal to a prospective wielder.

History
Cutter was once one of the longswords wielded by Dantrag Baenre, the weapons master of House Baenre in Menzoberranzan. While it was carried by the Baenre weapons master, the sword's hilt appeared as a demon's head.

When Drizzt Do'Urden led Catti-brie and Artemis Entreri from Menzoberranzan, Dantrag confronted them; Drizzt and the Baenre drow came to blows. Drizzt defeated Dantrag and thus acquired the sword. After Drizzt's victory, the sword changed its pommel into the head of a unicorn (the symbol of Mielikki, Drizzt's goddess). However, preferring his scimitars to the longsword, Drizzt gave Cutter to Catti-brie and, after she dominated 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 led her to her death at the hands of a group of orcs. Though Cutter was wielded by several of the orcs for a while, it eventually found its way back into the hands of Drizzt Do'Urden, who used it during his fight with Obould.

Drizzt lost the blade after it became stuck in Obould's armor. When he tore his armor off (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. However, 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 eventually realized that he did not have as much command over the weapon as he believed. Therefore, he returned the sword to Drizzt, who donated it to the elves of the Moonwood for study. However, Tos'un ended up with it once again and gave it to his daughter, Doum'wielle Armgo, after she won some sort of "contest" for it. When Tos'un and Doum'wielle returned to Menzoberranzan, Matron Mother Quenthel Baenre first gave it to Andzrel Baenre. When he failed to master the sword, she gave it back to Tos'un.
