Blackstar is a heavy morningstar with a head made from an ominous black stone, rumored to have been forged by giants in the First Age. The weapon's shaft is crafted from the heartwood of an ancient oak, reinforced with bands of dark iron. Despite its weight and imposing appearance, it is perfectly balanced, allowing its wielder to wield it with surprising ease.
It is priceless. As a legendary artifact and an ancestral heirloom of the Rocks family, its value cannot be quantified in mere gold.
Blackstar has been in the possession of the Rocks family since the First Age. It is said that the giants themselves forged the weapon, imbuing it with the strength and fury of their kind. Throughout the ages, it has seen countless battles and has become a symbol of the Rocks family's resilience and martial prowess. Legends speak of its head crushing through the toughest armors and the weapon itself turning the tide of many historic battles.
