The Direblade is an ancient longsword of exquisite craftsmanship, forged in the lost city of Vindrik. The blade is nearly black, with a faint, eerie sheen that suggests a powerful enchantment. Its hilt is wrapped in dark leather, and the crossguard is adorned with a sapphire with wolf motifs within it, paying homage to the Direwolf of Vindrik, a creature from which it is rumored to draw its name. The blade is sharp enough to cleave through solid rock, and the weapon seems to hum with latent energy, as if waiting to be wielded.
Due to its legendary status and the lost knowledge of its forging, the Direblade's value is incalculable. Collectors, historians, and adventurers alike would go to great lengths to acquire it.
Forged during the height of Vindrik's power, the Direblade was commissioned by a noble who intended it as a gift for the Karlstain family, rulers of the city. The sword was meant to symbolize the strength and endurance of both kingdoms, capable of cutting through even the hardest stone. However, the Direblade never saw battle, and its existence is known only through ancient tales and records. Rumors suggest that the blade was hidden away, buried within the stone tomb of the Direwolf, a legendary beast that once roamed the wilds near Vindrik as a guardian. Many have sought the sword, but none have returned with it, leaving its location a mystery.
Attunement: To attune to the Direblade, the wielder must spend an hour in meditation while holding the sword. During this time, they must recall the tales of Vindrik and the Direwolf, bonding with the weapon's ancient power. If the attunement is successful, the Direblade will respond to the wielder's commands, and its full power will be unlocked.
Rumored Abilities: There are whispered legends that the Direblade holds even greater power, potentially unlocking abilities related to earth or stone manipulation. However, these are unconfirmed and would require further discovery or experimentation by a skilled wielder.
