The ironwood khopesh was an unusual khopesh held by the medusa Sshaastess in the mid-1480s DR.[1][note 1]

Description[]

The long curved blade was extremely heavy and made from a kind of petrified wood. It was as strong and sharp as anything made from adamantine, and emitted a soft purple glow.[1]

Powers[]

The khopesh was reinforced with a magical field that made it more resilient as well as added a small blast of arcane energy to every strike. Appropriately enough for a medusa's petrified wood blade, it was able to turn flesh to stone on a successful strike.[1]

History[]

Sshaastess kept the khopesh in her stash of looted items when she took over the home of Seamus in Lost Souls' Swamp, alongside other treasures like a piece of the Abyssal Planus Mechanus Nether Scroll.[1]

Notes[]

  1. Menace of the Underdark (including Web of Chaos) is dated to the period of 14841485 DR, as it references the ongoing Darkening. Shadowfell Conspiracy (including Disciples of Shadow, Shadow Under Thunderholme, The Druid's Deep, and The High Road of Shadows) are dated to the same period, as they are stated to take place at roughly the same time as Menace of the Underdark.
