Moonblade

|
A moonblade is an elven hereditary magical sword in the Forgotten Realms fictional universe, notably the books by Elaine Cunningham involving the half-elven assassin, Arilyn Moonblade. Description Each moonblade is passed down from parent to child, but only a worthy heir will be able to wield the moonblade. Any unworthy bearer who draws it will die, thus making the inheritance a highly risky endeavour. (An unworthy wielder who is the last of their line, however, may be spared--although the shame of failure may well make them wish they had been killed.) It also cannot be wielded by anybody other than the rightful heir. Each wielder may contribute a power to the sword, which will be absorbed through the stone in the blade's hilt, a moonstone. However, the wielder cannot be separated from it for any length of time and expect to live. Each moonblade is unique, as the powers given to it are different. The character Xan in the computer role-playing game Baldur's Gate can wield a moonblade, being the only character able to wield it.
