🕑 Added 2023-12-05 16:20:01 +0000 UTCAdventurers and night wanderers, the forge of Athana Chronicles hums with lunar magic to present you the Moonsteel Blade, a weapon as enigmatic as the night sky itself. Each variant is imbued with the quiet power of moonlit evenings and the whisper of starlight.
Lore
In Aspen, located in the Archeus Province of Daragaard, the phenomenon of extended night hours has led to a unique adaptation in local craftsmanship and defense: the Moonsteel Blade. With days often brief due to the region's northern latitude, and long winters where darkness prevails, the inhabitants have turned to the abundant moonsteel metal for practical purposes.
Moonsteel, known for its luminescent qualities and relative abundance in the area, is frequently mined and utilized to forge weapons that are not only functional but also advantageous during the long night hours. The local blacksmiths have perfected the art of shaping this metal, producing blades that are especially potent when the sun retreats and the moon asserts its dominion over the sky.
As winter approaches and daylight wanes, Moonsteel Blades become a common sight among the people of Aspen. They are valued not just for their effectiveness in combat but also for their ability to channel the moon's energy. The "moonlit edge" of these weapons is said to deal additional radiant damage, a property that makes them particularly effective against the dark-loving beasts that roam the province during the colder months.
These blades, ranging from daggers to greatswords, are relatively straightforward to craft, making them accessible to many warriors and guards. It's a seasonal tradition for those in Aspen to carry a Moonsteel Blade when the snow sets in, providing a sense of security against the extended nights. Thus, the Moonsteel Blade stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people of Archeus, a region where the moon's presence is as integral to survival as the craftsmanship it inspires.

FYI I only made longsword variants of the blade on D&DBeyond as this is by far the most common version of blades, though technically this blade is available in dagger, short/long and greatswords. If you need a specific blade type just let me know and I'll whip one up for you!
