Forged from ancient elvish magic and natural energies, the Moonblade is born of the very light that persists throughout the night. It can only be bonded to a soul that is deemed worthy and righteous, and one that seeks the preservation of Elvenkind. 

Each moonblade has a different number of Elven runes upon its surface, one for each master it has served. Each rune determines the weapon’s properties. As such, no two Moonblades are exactly the same. These runes can grant everything from damage bonuses to blinding rays of moonlight, to allowing the weapon to be thrown, to the ability for the Moonblade to act as a Defender, the first weapon we looked at.

Moonblade Stats:

  • Requires attunement by an elf or half-elf of neutral good alignment.
  • Neutral Good
  • +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls (can increase with specific runes)
  • Statistics differ for each individual blade, and a Moonblade can have up to 7 runes

Why this weapon is legendary:

  • A weapon born of Elvish magic and starlight.
  • An incredibly unique set of properties, from acting as a Vorpal Sword to summoning an Elf spirit to aid in combat
  • Can only be wielded by the worthy
