=BACKBITER=
aka "Demondeath of the Abandoned"

===Stats===
Rapier - Covenent Item of the 1st Age.

'''Damage:''' 1d6 | 18-20 x2 | 2 lbs. | Piercing

===Background===
Long ago an elf slipped out of the silvan memories. By want or need
all forgot the sister of Aradril. Growing up the elder yet still in
the shadow the prodigy child that would become the Witch Queen, Lolth
became jealous. In unknown tales lost to all but the highest in the
elven court or perhaps the ancient dragon council, Lolth strove to
become beloved as her younger sister. But nothing was as easy as
Aradril could make it. Seeing their was no love left for her she
fled. She took with her a great Elven Blade once called Messiah -
the most holy avenger. Finding her ways into the Jungles of the
Danisil. There she would became legend. Amoung the Danisil she grew
in strength and belief yet it would never be enough - for every
victory among the dark places her sister the Witch Queen would find
victory above the Erenthor. Over millenia Lolth retreated into the
dark places searching for a way to become more than her sister. This
time fell into myth and legend. Danisil would speak her name as a
great Demon Slayer but that would not be enough. In the time since
most elves have forgotten the lost sister Lolth gathered strength,
power and even favor from monster, spirits, demons and anything that
would here her. It is told she was given chance to serve the dark
god Izrador, but lashed out in fury and repulse... THIS was not her
destiny. She did not wish to join the evil - she wished to better it
and thus becoming truly greater than her sister. Later this would
become a different journey, one of becoming more evil to defeat
evil... These are the days when her path changed. It is not known
at what point she began twisting the Elven artifact to
become "Backbiter", or at what point Lolth stopped using her sword of
vengence. It is only known that in some manner the sword found it's
way into the hoard of the dragon that betrayed Aradril in the last
Battle of the Third Age.

===Abilities===

wileder manifests Low-Light vision and +4 to Spot )+8 in Jungle
Environments).

'''METAMORPHISIS:''' the wielder's eyes become that of
Danisil, face structure begins changing.

====4th:====
''Shadow's Defense'' - allows the wielder to transfer all of the
rapier's entire current enchantment bonuses to the wielder's AC as a
bonus that stacks with all others. As a Free Action the wielder may
add the bonus at the start of his turn before using the rapier and
the effect stays until the beginning (1st initiative) of the next
round.

'''METAMORPHISIS:''' the wielder's entire body hair become that of
Danisil.

ability to become a unique living Shadow. (see stats/abilities

'''METAMORPHISIS: '''the wielder believes himself Danisil.

===CURSE===
Sadly with great power must come a price. The curse
called "Backbiter" has been weaved into the rapier making it a deadly
weapon in inexperienced hands. When used in melee against a foe and
the wielder folls a 1 for the attack roll, the rapier becomes
impossible to control and instead deals it's maximum damage (as if
from the wielder's hand) to the wielder.

'''METAMORPHISIS:''' While not a curse the rapier also features a unique
transformation effect. Time takes effect with the experience of the
wielder and he begins taking on the physical traits/abilities and
hinderances of the Danisil (Jungle Elves). While this effect occurs
over the course of months/years it is unknonw if the Transformation
is permanent. Transformation beyond those listed above are subject
to the DM's discretion.
