surprised <strong>the</strong> party at Three Axe Ford and<br />

wiped it out under a shower <strong>of</strong> rocks.<br />

Moira’s body and <strong>the</strong> amulet were never<br />

recovered. She is now known as St. Moira<br />

<strong>the</strong> Pure, and acknowledged as a lesser<br />

heroine by <strong>the</strong> Church <strong>of</strong> Traladara.<br />

Comet’s Edge 12<br />

This item is an oddly shaped polearm,<br />

reminiscent <strong>of</strong> certain Nithian polearm<br />

designs, though fashoned <strong>of</strong> excellent steel<br />

ra<strong>the</strong>r than Nithian bronze. When it<br />

strikes, Comet’s Edge leaves a trail <strong>of</strong><br />

sparks that gave it its name. It was<br />

recovered by <strong>the</strong> Traladaran adventurer<br />

Nyktor Vasilevich on <strong>the</strong> Wufwolde hills.<br />

Nyktor employed <strong>the</strong> weapon to great<br />

effect in many adventures, but finally met<br />

his end in <strong>the</strong> Blight Swamp. A party <strong>of</strong> elf<br />

hunters from <strong>the</strong> Lindenelm clan found his<br />

body, and recovered <strong>the</strong> polearm, which is<br />

now safely stored in <strong>the</strong> clan elder’s cache.<br />

Comet’s Edge functions as a polearm +2,<br />

with <strong>the</strong> talent <strong>of</strong> speeding. It can be<br />

wielded with <strong>the</strong> bardiche or halberd<br />

mastery. While popular tales want it to be<br />

<strong>the</strong> weapon <strong>of</strong> an Immortal disarmed in<br />

combat, which fell from <strong>the</strong> sky on<br />

Karameikos, <strong>the</strong> weapon’s origins are<br />

much more mundane -- it was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

many weapons forged by <strong>the</strong> great wizardking,<br />

Gygar, during <strong>the</strong> Vampire Wars. It<br />

saw use in <strong>the</strong> first battles against <strong>the</strong><br />

Black Count <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Moors, but was lost in a<br />

battle on <strong>the</strong> Wufwolde hills, where it<br />

remained until Nyktor Vasilevich recovered<br />

it.<br />
