2. Sword of Kas

Arguably the only thing more intimidating than the weapons of the archlich himself is the blade that killed him. Kas and Vecna destroyed each other in the fight, and amongst the rubble and ash, only this dark longsword remained of Kas. The Sword of Kas seeks the ruin of all life, not just that of Vecna, though that is its primary purpose.

Kas’ spirit grants superhuman speed at the start of every combat, as well as protection throughout. The weapon has potent spellcasting capabilities, allowing for everything from the summoning of arcane storms to the dispelling of powerful extradimensional entities. 

Kas’ spirit lives on in the sword, however, and every time it is unsheathed there is a chance that it will take over.
