This weapon is fashioned from a single piece of bone (the thigh bone of a giant, it is said). The blade is a twisted, warped and pock marked thing, as if the weapon itself is in agony. Strips of bone and rotted meat cling here and there. The handle of this weapon is a skeletal hand. When grasped for battle, the fingers of the handle intertwine with the fingers of the user forming a ghastly embrace. It is a disconcerting feeling. When grasped, the user can feel pure evil coursing through the weapon.
The exact origins of this weapon are not known. There are several stories. Some say that this foul weapon was carved from the thigh bone of the cursed giant, Agathorin, after he fell in battle to the demon lord Thraxxus who later took it back to Hell to enchant it. Others say it was created by a deranged wizard in the Irenni League during the Great War. None can say for sure. Stories of this weapon have existed for centuries. It was last known to be in the possession of a noble lord in Anquar. However, when civil war erupted in Anquar some two centuries ago, the blade was lost.
Plague inflicts a horrible wasting disease with the slightest cut. Wounds caused by this weapon will not heal, but will fester as the disease spreads throughout the body. All but the most powerful curative magic will have no effect. This disease will kill all but the strongest individual in a matter of hours.
The wielder of this weapon will also be affected by this weapon. Prolonged contact with Plague will cause the wielder to become gaunt and pale. The cheeks will sink in as will the eyes. The hair will fall out and the user will became emaciated. A side effect of this transformation is that the user will become completely immuned to poison and disease and long as he or she is under the influence of Plague.
None.
