The Black Sword was a unique intelligent bastard sword from the ancient Imaskari Empire, crafted to aid in the overthrowing of an emperor during its height. It possessed the special purpose of overthrowing tyrants.[2] Made of obsidian, the sword had been used to commit dozens of regicides since its creation.[1] In 1360 DR, the Black Sword might have been in the City of Solon, where it intended to slay Raja Ambuchar Devayam at the first opportunity.[1]
Personality[]
Haughty and unwavering in its aims, the Black Sword was only vocal in the hands of someone it believed to be worthy of its power. If it was wielded by a person it deemed undeserving, it would remain mostly silent, unless given the opportunity to defeat a tyrannical power.[2]
Powers[]
This +3 bastard sword granted a number of spell-like abilities to its wielder. In 1372 DR they could cast darkness, silence, and dispel magic thrice a day each,[2] whereas in 1360 DR they were believed to be able to use the first two powers indefinitely and at a higher level. It began to speak languages other than Roushoum sometime between 1360 DR and 1372 DR.[1] When wielded against a tyrant, its powers were further increased.[1][2]
