Valkyria

Weapon Very Rare

This +1 sword appears to be little more than a ceremonial sword or possibly a druidic weapon of some type. Its handle of horn makes it appear unsuitable for true combat, and it is encased in a rustic, unadorned reinforced leather scabbard. However, once the blade is drawn, it is clear that this sword is of exquisite workmanship. The length of the blade is traced with finely etched runes of an unknown design. There is an ethereal quality to the sword that those looking at it cannot comprehend. Once gripped, the horn handle fits the wielder’s hand better than any weapon ever held, and the blade glows with a warm, low light in the presence of any priestess of Ehlonna or in any area holy to Ehlonna. The horn handle was crafted from a stag sacred to the goddess and sacrificed to her.   [secret]This sword was, in fact, crafted on another plane and used at one time by one of Ehlonna’s Valkyries. When taken to any of the outer planes, the sword becomes a +3 longsword. Any Lawful-aligned character holding the weapon will see a vision of the goddess Ehlonna, differing in intensity based on Wisdom and Charisma scores. If the wielder has both a Wisdom and a Charisma score of 14 or above, the vision of the goddess will be incredibly strong, and the goddess will greet and invite the wielder to worship her as one of her clerics. If the wielder is Lawful-aligned but does not have sufficient scores, the goddess’ presence is sensed. If the wielder does in fact become a priestess of Ehlonna, the sword grants additional power. Once per week, the wielder can contact the Valkyrie who was the previous owner of this sword. This contact is treated as a commune spell, but allows the wielder to ask only one question.
