Vilharian
Vilharian is a magical ancient Suel blade, with a silver and aquamarine pommel. It was believed to have been forged before the crowning of Mikar, the first Grand Prince of the Kingdom of Aerdy. The runes upon it hint at the great hidden power within it.[1]
It was first wielded by the hero Sellanus of the Suel House Zelrad during the Great Migrations. He reportedly lost it in a duel with Kelanen near present day Cryllor in western Keoland. It soon fell into the bands of the Rhola of Gradsul where it remained a prized possession of that house for centuries. Many of that house were and are followers of Kelanen. Vilharian allegedly slipped from the hands of King Tavish III into the muck surrounding Westkeep during the siege of 453 CY. It was recovered by one of the captains of the brigands involved in that siege. It was believed lost forever a few years later with the sinking of ship the The Sea Prince during the Battle of Jetsam Island.[2]
The blade is a +5 longsword with an unusual “bane like” ability against spellcasters, as well as being able to control the weather within short distances (1,000 feet). It can also render its bearer invulnerable to fire and ice. The blade may also be intelligent and, if so, it would have extensive knowledge about the Great Migrations as well as the history of the Kingdom of Keoland.[3]
The blade resurfaced in about 590 CY when identified by Shandophal, an Eldritch Lore and Sage of Rel Deven, for an unknown client and was being pursued by the Silent Ones.[4]
