Tulin’s Blade

Steel Realms
Value: ? silver crowns

Tulin’s Blade is a enchanted wide bladed heavy short sword of obvious Ducateon make. It possesses incredible sharpness and is engraved with Dukat runes that read “Sayed Blin” – Sacred Blade. A wide blade with its grip magically adapting to anyone holding it. It also has Ikribu’s lightning insignia on the blade. This was a well known symbol of the band “Tulin’s Squad“. Tulin received it for his long, long service to the Lord of Light – no matter his other ventures, he always returned and redeemed himself.

It is Ducateon made and is heart forged to respond to a dragon ember whetstone (dragon scale scorched by dragon fire); the blade has a “razor honed edge”; can be sharpened using it.

D20 Blade Attributes

Minimum Strength: 10, -2 Initiative

Razor Honed Edge: If the Dragon Ember Stone (a fire hardened dragon scale) is used as a whetstone, the next successful attack has a +1 Result Shift – the stone is reduced with each use.
Dedicated to Ikribu of the Lightbringers; for a wielder who is a Follower (any of the Unified Pantheon), it grants powers:

Dragon Awaken Trigger: If it comes within 5m of a dragon or related species, it will vibrate slightly – rattling in its sheath. If the wielder sheaths it into dragon or if it is the killing blow, it does +3d6 and the sword becomes a +1 Dragon Slaying blade that radiates white lightning like glow/heat but the wielder is immune to its additional +1 damage from lightning (which it does to wielders opposed to the Church of Light after it awakens).

Tulins Blade, when it was made, it was quenched in dragons blood. If it is ever exposed to dragon blood again, it will “awaken” and become deadly inimical to them. If it comes within 1m of a dragon or related species, it will vibrate slightly – rattling in its sheath.
