Relics of the Gods

Eberron is a place of many tremendously powerful items and devices that are mostly relics of the Demon War and other conflicts that wield powers well above Epic Level. This is a discussion of some of the items that have shown up in our games.

The Sword of Eberron

The Sword of Eberron
Major Artifact

The Sword of Eberron is also known as Caliburn amongst other names. The blade is a Divine Artifact that was created by Siberys for the purposes of defending Eberron and was made from one of his Claws. The weapon, unfortunately, was broken when it was used to pierce the heart of Tiamat and bind that particular manifestation of Khyber in the darkness below. The Sword of Eberron broke into five separate pieces that each became weapons of their own. Collectively, they are known as the Five Swords of Eberron but this is a misnomer, the weapons have been reforged into a multitude of shapes through the millenia, the legendary Spear of Destiny' and Trident of The Devourer being amongst those forms.

The Swords are empowered to fight the evils of Eberron and each wield exceptional powers in doing so. They are, especially, dangerous to Evil Outsiders and Undead due to the fact that they are the preferred minions of Khyber. The Swords can be re-united due to the fact that each of them calls towards one another. However. until the essence of Khyber is fully cleansed from the swords, they will not be able to be kept merged for very long. Furthermore, they will enact a terrifying price from those who attempt to use them.

The Sword of Eberron has a Divine Spark and anyone who possesses the completed Sword of Eberron will gain a Divine Rank of 1. All wielders of the Swords gain a Divine Rank of 0 and cease aging amongst other benefits.

The Five Swords
Minor Artifacts

Demonslayer: Demonslayer, sometimes called the Holy Avenger or the King Maker, is a blade empowered to cut through demonic forces with easy when wielded by a holy warrior pure of heart. When not in the hands of the pure hearted it is still a powerful weapon.

Devil's Bane: Devil's Bane, known in Dhakaani as Nightmare's End, is an intelligent weapon born to cut through the lies and illusions of Devils, Delkyr and Quori. The sword grants the bearer the ability to sense the presence of entities currently possessing individuals and the ability to rescue those trapped within their own minds.

Dawn's Radiance: Dawn's Radiance, also know as the Sword of Light or the Sunsword, is the anti-thesis of the undead. When uncovered the blade lights up its surroundings as if in the noontime sun of a clear summer day. Legends speak of the power to unleash a beam of burning light known as the Flames of Dawn.

Spellvoid: The properties of Kerokash the Spellvoid are not full known, but are said to allow the bearer to cut through magic.

Dragonslayer: Dragonslayer claims the power to cleave through the adamant scales of dragons as if they warm butter. While carried the wielder does not need to fear dragon's breath in any of it's forms.

Special

The full capacities of the Sword of Eberron is not yet known. When only four blades were united the incomplete blade was able to release a blast of supernatural Dragon Fire that would rival the breath of even the oldest of Red or Gold Dragons. After the attack was completed the wielder found himself blind as a result (though this might have been from the light of the flames). It is suspected that there are other abilities of equivalent power still undiscovered.

The Chalice of Bahamut

The Chalice of Bahamut is a relic that caught the blood of Bahamut as he was bleeding from his wounds during the epic confrontation with Tiamat. The object became infused with some of his divine essence and this was increased as the Dragons began to worship the item as one of their most venerated objects.

Ultimately, the Chalice of Bahamut was stolen by the Ascendant Green Dragon known as Vol. Vol was one of the many remnants of Khyber, one of her Consorts no less, that was still alive after the Demon Wars but feared the retaliation against the "Archangel of Death." The Chalice was recovered by the Deathless before somehow being lost on Khorvaire where it ended up in the hands of the Dhakaani and later humans.

The Chalice of Bahamut became intimately associated with both Dol Arrah and the Silver Flame, despite having nothing to do with either and is a holy relic of humans as much as Dragons. In their blind devotion to the prophecy, the Dragons never realized the human relic was actually their own.

The Chalice bestows Divine Rank 1 on any Outsider that possesses it.

Powers

• Any Lawful Good Fighter or Warrior who drinks from the Chalice may exchange his Levels for those of a Paladin.

• The Chalice can be used to perform Resurrection on any subject.

• Holy Water that is poured into the Chalice will inflict x10 its normal damage.

• The Chalice can perform Create Food/Water an unlimited times per day.
