Legacy Sunsword 5e
Legacy Sunsword 5e
T
he Sunsword is a unique blade that once
opposed Strahd while weilded by his brother,
Sergei. In its original form, it had a platinum
hilt and guard, and a thin crystal blade as
strong as steel. When Sergei died, Strahd
employed a powerful wizard named Khazan to
destroy the weapon.
The first part of the process required the hilt and blade to
be separated, then destroyed simutaneously. When the blade
was separated from the hilt, the blade took on the
appearance of a normal longsword.
However, before Khazan could destroy the hilt and blade,
his apprentice Gabriela stole the hilt and fled. Her flight was
successful in saving the blade from destruction. However, she
didn't succeed in fleeing Barovia before some nameless
menace in the mists claimed her.
Khazan later located his apprentice’s mutilated corpse in
the Svalich Woods, but the hilt was nowhere to be found.
To avoid the vampire’s wrath, Khazan hid the remains of
the blade away somewhere in Barovia and told Strahd that
the entire weapon had been destroyed.
