A Moon Blade
Moonslight is a mystical Named Blade, crafted in Heart's Hall, the renowned fortress city located in the Wall of the World mountainous region on the continent of Meskrell. This remarkable sword is the nocturnal counterpart to its peer, Moonshadow, and is revered for its connection to the celestial powers of the moon.
Radiant Appearance:
Moonslight's appearance is a sight to behold. Its blade is crafted with exceptional artistry, shimmering like moonlight on water. The weapon exudes an ethereal glow, evoking the tranquil and captivating beauty of the moon's luminance. Adorned with intricate patterns that symbolize its connection to the moon goddesses, Moonslight is not only a weapon but a work of art.
Powers of the Moon:
Moonslight grants its wielder heightened senses, enhancing their agility and reflexes, making them exceptionally perceptive and swift during the night.
Astral Plane Mastery:
One of the extraordinary powers of Moonslight is its ability to allow its wielder to spend time on the Astral Plane without fear of its guardians. The Astral Plane is a mysterious and dangerous realm where spirits and other entities reside. Ordinarily, mortal travelers risk facing the guardians of the Astral Plane, making it a perilous journey. However, when wielding Moonslight, the wielder gains the unique privilege of traversing this ethereal realm without fear of retaliation from its inhabitants.
Companion to Moonshadow:
Moonslight is a companion sword to Moonshadow, its nocturnal counterpart. Both blades are paired and interconnected, representing the duality of light and darkness. However, they are also in conflict with each other, as their abilities contradict one another. While Moonshadow thrives in darkness, granting stealth and surprise attacks, Moonslight flourishes in the moon's glow, enhancing its wielder's abilities under the night sky.
The Legacy of Tengri Khasar:
Moonslight, along with Moonshadow, is buried alongside the legendary warrior Tengri Khasar of the Houtou Clan. Tengri was a formidable and renowned fighter, known for his mastery of both Moonshadow and Moonslight. He skillfully harnessed the power of these celestial swords, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. After a lifetime of valiant battles and heroic deeds, Tengri and the two Named Blades were laid to rest in a sacred burial ground, a place of reverence and memory for his legendary legacy.
Guarded Secrets of Heart's Hall:
Moonslight, like all Named Blades, was forged with a closely guarded secret in Heart's Hall. The process of creating a Named Blade involves trapping a human soul in the newly forged metal, imbuing the weapon with unique abilities. The secrets of this process remain closely protected, known only to the inhabitants of Heart's Hall.
Neither blade ever achieved any sort of true sentience. Now, it is unlikely they ever will.
