Godsbane

A magical glass sword said to be able to slay even a god. The sword is the physical form of the god Mask. It was originally wielded by Syrick in order to slay Bha'al. It is said to be cursed to drive the wielder into a murderous stupor. Criton ended up acquiring Godsbane as he worked through the ranks of the Revenant under a child of Bha'al. He then used the sword to amass a following and clergy which became known as the Golden Sun.


 * Godsbane is an artifact or a physical embodiment of the god Mask. An enemy of Bhaal, and took great pleasure in being the reason for his fall. The sword is cursed. Whoever wields it will have the insatiable desire to kill. It begins small with acts of revenge and eventually escalates into an insatiable bloodlust. For the weilder’s mind, they can hear the whispers of Mask from the sword. Their mind becomes so poisoned that the whispers become their own voice in their head. The last wielder was struck down in a moment of bloodlust by an enemy. The book was written recently, and it says that the wielder was an enthusiast of the occult and the infernal deities thought to have been attempting to bring about a new deity or resurrect an old. The curse will stay with the wielder until their death. If the wielder is separated from the sword, their only desire will be to get back to the sword. It is believed that death is the only escape from the curse.
