Title: The Black Sword

Author: Bartholomew the Tall


The Black Sword is a weapon of legend, sometimes called the Shade Blade or the Blackrock Sword.

The origin of the blade varies greatly. Some say it was a gift from a demon lord or dragon to a worthy hero. Other myths claim, it was forged at a castle of fire by the mad sage Erethian who bound a demon in an ether gem in the hilt.

The blade is likely made from blackrock; the stories say the blade shared properties with the material, including the ability to repel or parry many magics. The blade is certainly possess by a daemon and could kill many mortal beings with a single strike, draining the victim's life to heal the wielder. There are also stories where the sword could reign fire down on entire armies. Some stories claim the daemon's name was Arcadion.

The sword passed out of story and legend about a hundred years ago. It is believed to be lost. While the sword has connections to the Isle of Fire, no expeditions to the Isle have recovered it. Scholars believe it was taken by the great dragon Dracothraxus since the blade was prophesied to kill her.
