Tighmaevril Weapons of Anuire
Tighmaevril weapons are some of the most feared in all of Cerilia. As any of the blooded know, these tools of destruction
can annihilate a noble dynasty with one swift blow to the heart. As such, these weapons are also the most prized
possesions in all of Cerilia. I have included here some objects rumored to lie in the provinces of Anuire. Many of my
bards return with stories of these artifacts; very few of these instruments of power have ever truly been seen.
The Flail of Pain
Tighmaevril Flail +2 to hit and damage. XP value: 29,000
This flail, rumored to be in the hands of the goblins in Markazor, is truly terrifying to the blooded. This weapon allows
Bloodtheft to occur without a succesful blow to the heart. It steals the blood of its victim through a called shot to the head
on the dying blow. Causing the skull to cave in and the blood to be absorbed through the exposed brain. A nasty piece of
work indeed.
Despair
Tighmaevril Dirk +3 to hit and damage, +5 to damage on a successful backstab. XP value: 31,000
This quick-blade is extremely deadly. Known only as Despair, the dirk is thought to belong to an assassin in the employ
of the guilds of Endier. This blade is known to have ended the bloodlines of many a blooded regent who didn't watch his
back. The assassin is thought to be a lesser awnsheghlien known only as The Dark One.
Chalice of the Bloodlines
Tighmaevril Chalice. XP vlaue: 21,000
This gem-encrusted cup is said to hold wonderous powers. If the blood of a regent is placed in the cup and then drank
from by another, 1/8 of the blood points are passed onto the drinker, without any loss from the donor. This chalice is
highly sought by many regents, for it would greatly enhance the blood powers of vassals and lieutenants. The chalice is
guarded by an order of the Monks of Haelyn in a monastery somewhere in Alamie. No one has ever found this "holy
grail."
The Bloodbane Arrow
Tighmaevril sheaf arrow +3 to hit and damage. XP value: 35,000
This weapon detects as a sheaf arrow +3. The Bloodbane Arrow is a tighmaevril weapon with a unique ability. If a
natural 20 is rolled on a called shot to the heart, the target must make a saving throw versus Death at a minus 2. If failed
the target's heart is pierced and the individual dies. If the target was blooded, bloodtheft occurs as follows: 1/2 of the
victim's bloodline strength is stored in the arrow until it is retrieved by another blooded individual whereupon the
bloodtheft is completed. This weapon was last reported in the unique arrow collection of the awnsheghlien, Rhuobhe
Manslayer.

Bloodtooth
Bloodtooth is an interesting relic that was discovered by an adventurer campaigning in ancient elven ruins located deep
within the dark Aelevenwode, within the domain of Talinie. A warrior, Jacob Darkkien, a 5th level fighter of Haelyn,
happened upon the forgotten elven town by accident. Climbing to retrieve fruit from one of the trees, he saw an ancient
bridge that had forstood the test of time. Curiously, he made his way onto the bridge and after searching the town ruins,
he discovered and old, extremely well made shortsword that gleamed of a strange metal. After polishing it up, he
discovered that the metal was unlike any he had ever seen. He decided to take it into the city of Lindholme, Talinie and
find out it's worth. The shop keeper, upon seeing the strange weapon, just
snorted and told the warrior it was worthless and would give him just a single gold coin for it. Jacob, thinking it was
worth more, refused and left. He decided to try his luck in Bouerine. However, as he made his way for the border, a hired
assassian intercepted the poor warrior, slew him and took the weapon. It is now in the hands of a notorious killer, who
decided to keep the weapon and not return it to the shop keeper who hired his services. He found it's true powers after he
slew one of the blood. He had bloodthefted before, however, the power infused within him using this weapon nearly
knocked him unconcious with an unexepected burst of
power. The assassian in now on the prow of all the blooded.
Bloodtooth+2, 1/2 tighmaevral shortsword
It appears to be an extremely well made shortsword. It's blade is very curious, as it swirls with tighmaevral and steel. It is
normal shortsword length and has a standard cast hilt made of steel. It is very light and agile, but its blade dices flesh like
vegetables. If Bloodtooth is used during the killing blow of a bloodtheft, then it's wielder gains the normal bloodtheft
bonuses, plus an additional 1-10 points of bloodline. The half tighmaevril content of the sword isn't strong enough to cut
the ties of the regent (if the bloodthefted person was a regent) with his/her domain, however. Three times per day,
Bloodtooth may also detect for any blooded persons within 100'. This lasts for just a single round, during which the
wielder must concentrate. The DM can also use other boons as well, like a 25% chance to drain a power from the person
or maybe a higher percentage of the RP's gained. I currently have Bloodtooth giving the bloodthefting regent 50% of the
victims RP pool, if any.
