Trisark's Stormblades appear as a matching pair of short swords. Each is a finely crafted, well balanced blade forged from a gleaming silver metal with swirls that are reminiscent of storm clouds. The first blade is "Thunder" and vibrates continuously. The second blade is "Lightning" and crackles constantly with electrical energy arcing up and down the blade.
This magnificent pair of matching blades was forged in secret by Dragul, an Padashani blacksmith and enchanted by his friend, Faragus, a ship mage and talented enchanter. Faragus imbued the blades with his "storm magic". The blades were created during the Age of Sorrow and were wielded by Faragus until his death. At that time, Dragul gave them to his son, Dreomar, who carried them in the Pushark Campaign in the Borderlands. They were lost for a time when he fell in battle and have surfaced in different locations in Qeshir over the centuries. For a long time there were held by a flamboyant half elven sword master named Trisark. He held them for over a century and used them in countless battles and campaigns. The blades become known as "Trisark's Stormblades" and the name has remained, even after Trisark's death. It is rumored that a Sybrenar warlord carried them for a time after Trisark's death. Currently they are held by the Mercian sea captain, Callister Draabyn.
Once per day, the thunder blade can unleash a focused thunderclap. This emanates out from the blade in a cone of focused soundwaves that can deafen and stun opponents, crack stone, shatter windows and blow open doors. The effect lasts a couple of seconds such that the blade can be swept through an arc and the cone of thunder can sweep a crowd, the side of a building and so forth.
Oncer per day, the lightning blade can unleash a bolt of lightning. This blue-white bolt of lightning will lance out straight from the blade and in the direction the blade is pointing. The blast lasts only a split second, but can unleash a terrible amount of damage. The lightning bolt will generally fly in a straight direction. However, it will also follow the path of least resistance. Therefore, metal surfaces, puddles, wet floors, wet walls and so forth may influence or divert the path of the lighting stroke. The exact path of the lightning will depend greatly upon the exact environment and circumstances.
None.
