Description

The Vorpal Sword appears to be forged from a single solid piece of Adamantine, perfectly weighted, with a black velvet handle. The pommel features a black skull with small ruby encrusted eyes. The blade itself is impossibly sharp, and never dulls. One edge of the blade has the traditional edge and slight curve of a master quality longsword, while the other has wicked serrations along the entire length. Even pressing a finger against the blade gently will threaten to split the digit in two.

Lore

Known as “Death’s Hand” in some cultures, the Vorpal Sword is possibly the most infamous and feared magical weapon ever known. Unlike most magical weapons, the Vorpal Sword came into existence through not any direct enchantments, but the slaying of countless enemies, many of who were themselves enchanted. Within its blade are the legacies of 1,000 slain heroes and villains, and for every victim it beheads, their need for blood and vengeance is added to the sword, ensuring that whoever claims it next will eventually become drunk on the power it offers.
