Silence
Created by the human mage Lysander through a powerful blood magic ritual which involved the infamous sacrifice of the entire city of Kaldunna a thousand years ago, Silence is an immensely powerful longsword born from the death of every living being in that city. Taking the appearance of a beautiful two handed longsword with an engraved blade forged out of patterned steel and with a hilt wrapped in braided steel wire for a more secure grip, this weapon emanates an almost overpowering aura of sorrow and fear, a byproduct of the gruesome ritual which created it and it is an object which almost any mage, could recognize instantly.
In the hands of a mage, Silence is an extremely dangerous weapon, as it can greatly increase its wielder's magical power and can unleash devastating spells which can kill dozens, or even hundreds of opponents. The inscription on the blade, which reads "with one word, break them", is an apt description of this weapon's power. However, all of this power comes at a great cost. The dieing cries of the unfortunate inhabitants of the city of Kaldunna, have imprinted a terrible curse on this weapon, which states that whoever wields it, shall suffer an untimely and violent end. This weapon has surfaced several times throughout history, emerging in the hands of powerful warlords and mages, who went on to wreak havoc during their brief, months-long reigns of terror, before they all met their deaths, due to its curse. Its current location is unknown.
