Weapon titles

[HCD or SIR SPUD]

I like the ideas of inventing names for the weapons produced through
campaigns. I own most of the Birthright world but I don't have time to
play in many campaigns, so I enjoy listening to everyone's experiences.
I would like to see a more comprehensive list. Feel free to E-me with
the list if you would rather.

I'll add some of my own special items:

Sheghshatten (Bloodhunter): +2 sabre regularly, +5 vs. any
creature with blood (most living creatures, vampires).
The sabre's blade is made of silver with flecks of red,
and the hilt is wrapped in black leather. In my campaign,
this weapon was found in the shadow world and has a slight
curse: it has a tendancy to "accidently" cut its owner
when he is sharpening it.
Rod of Undeath: A magical rod made from a black bone with red
runes engraved upon its length. It has the power to
detect undead (1 charge, 1 mile radius), control undead
(1 charge per hit die, 100' radius), and create undead
(3 charges per hit die). Realising that this was a
fairly powerful item, I gave it the restriction that
it could only be recharged within a graveyard on the
Eve of the Dead (I think this is the day), and it opens
a portal to the shadow world while the 9 hour ceremony
takes place. All undead within 1 mile of the portal
in either Cerilia or the Shadow World can detect the
presence of the rod.
Tome of Elven Vengeance: This is a book that dates from the
days when man first entered the lands. It is wrapped
in the black-scaled hide of an unidentifiable creature
and bears no other markings. An elven wizard wrote in
it his research into summoning a powerful "demon" (a
tarrasque), but was destroyed when he attempted to
actually cast the spell. Knowledge of this book has
recently come to the attention of Rhuobhe Manslayer,
who wishes to use it to destroy all of mankind.

That's all for now,
Mike

El-Hadid?, do you mean the guildmaster of Ilien?

The Regent of Medoere got a Holy Avenger sword ("The Sword of Enlien", so
it's said in the Book of Medoere).
