One of the birthright packaged adventures had a bloodsilver spear of some kind in it. I remember it having rings of certain powers worked into it somehow. That's about all I can remember as it has been a while!Te audire non possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.

I don't know if you noticed, but Coullannwn mentioned by Blitzmacher and the parrying dagger mentioned by Dosiere are a little similar... I any of you could find me any place to look for Coullannwn, I would be really glad!!

-----------------------------
It (the spear) was from Seeking Bloodsilver the adventure in Dungeon and
was specifically not a tighmeavril weapon, but was indeed an extremely powerful
magic item. >>
Brichlur, a +3 spear, with rings of Levitation, Protection+1, and Water
Breathing attached. It can also Raise Dead, Cure Serious Wounds, and Cure Disease.
As it happens, I have the magazine at hand, I`m tweaking that module for
my game soon, I`m going to make it a silver (but still not bloodsilver)
weapon, and tone down the magic a bit (like those last three powers). I`m also
tempted to change its weapon type to something more sidhe-like than a spear. Any
suggestions?

For those last 3 powers? Just drop Raise Dead...Cure Serious Wounds and Remove Disease really aren't all that powerful. Even upping the cure to Cure Critical wouldn't be ridiculous, as some compensation for losing the really big spell on there.

Aren't there some pins in Talinie too? Pins would most likely function as darts in the hands of the right person.

Sidhe are pretty much forest creatures so a spear would be a very good weapon there. The standards are of course bows and swords, but I think you want (and it is more interesting IMO) to pick something with a little more flair.
I would disagree with the glaive being a Sidhe type of weapon - too much a plains oriented massive troop style weapon. Real good for Anuireans IMO.
As I recall this weapon also had dwarven artificers involved so being totally Sidhe is not necesarily something that I would focus on. Spears are pretty good dwarven and Sidhe weapons. I would look for a weapon type that fit both cultures to match its history more, IMO. Axes might fit, but not real Sidhe like (too much association with cutting down trees, IMO).Duane Eggert

Apparently a forester stumpled across an ancient elven amphitheater and found a necklace concealed in a partly submerged hole with 333 tighmaevril pins (about the size of a sewing needle) on it. The PS specifically states that they couldn't be used as a weapon
One thing to remember about tighmaevril weapons is that they were made before bloodlines even existed, so it is possible that the tighmaevril pins are just ornamental, perhaps created as a trial before the actual weapons were forged.Let me claim your Birthright!!

How about a glaive? Keeps the hafted weapon concept, but replaces a
spearhead witha curving, slashing head: glaives are very similar to naginata,
something which is large and haevy but may still be wielded with great finesse and
grace - by a master.

Yeah, I was thinking about the same for the powers. I will think about a
glaive, but I am now definitely leaning towards a reach weapon, if I am
making it both silver and +3-- that sounds like it would be needed for Big Undead
smiting, and those often have touch/draining attacks. Reach is good. And if
they are going to all the trouble to make it that powerful, I might as well
make it exotic or martial, so that any Tom, Dick, and Ithuriel couldn`t pick it
up.

And perhaps someone could use these as samples to reverse-engineer the
process, and learn how to create more?
