The Echo of the Artblade was a powerful longsword derived from the legendary Artblade, found in the ruins of Myth Drannor in the late 14th century DR.[1][note 1]

Powers[]

The Echo was a deadly and fine weapon in its own right, though only a shadow of the true Artblade. It made the wielder a more powerful and precise spellcaster, granted them true sight and immunity to blindness, and even afflicted attackers with temporary nullmagic in response to magical assaults.[1]

History[]

The weapon originated when the Artblade's own nature turned against itself, shedding a small part of its own power as an echo that formed as a lesser blade, also creating the armor of the Warblade. This Echo was potentially found during the reclamation of Myth Drannor, and was willing to be wielded by non-elves. If the Red Wizards of Droic Orgul managed to infuse it with the necromantic energies of the dracolich Karliath, the blade's strength of will would overcome the corruption and remain a tool of righteousness.[1]

Notes[]

  1. Magic of Myth Drannor is dated to 1374 DR, as it seems to take place during Ilsevele Miritar's Elven Crusade, shortly before its arrival at Myth Drannor.
