About

The Emerald Blade, besides being a powerful weapon, created a small protective ward around its wielder, an impenetrable shield in or out, theorized to be used to protect Sardior or a Thane during trips into dangerous territories.

History

Like Feredemius himself, it became lost to time and trapped under the Northern Snowy Mountains. In 826 PR it was rediscovered in the stone of the mountain on an archeological expedition which revealed a lost Sardior worship space.

The Lost Temple

The Temple was re-discovered after The Order of the Watchful Eye miners found a dig site in the darkness of Umbralhound. Inside, a guide known as Vincent was able to discover a number of dead animals and people scattering the grounds of the temple, as well as a group of spiders covered in a tar-like film. As the team dug deeper they found more giant spiders and a ton of methane in the aera.

Finally at the heart of the temple, they found the chamber holding the weapon. Five dragon statues adorned the walls with the center representing the Emerald Dragon. At the foot of the statue, trapped under massive emerald crystal growths, was the original artifact. Psionic voices of The One That Waits eminated from it, beckoning the wielder to subdue to Shadow Sickness.

The Battle of Five Lights

Eventually the weapon was in the custody of heroes (after being taken from Vincent) and used as part of the Battle of Five Lights to resurrect Sardior
