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 />
