Quickbrand

Quickbrand is a magical longsword currently wielded by Jorah Wolfwood.

Appearance
Quickbrand is a longsword of dwarven make. When it was first recovered from Earthbreaker Hall, it was covered in etchings resembling spiderwebs. These etchings were removed when the blade was restored by Galnur Fluxtwist, but replaced with blocky dwarven runes reading "GALNUR" to identify the smith's handiwork.

Properties
Before the drow enchantments were removed, Quickbrand seemed to have some vulnerability to sunlight. In its current form, Quickbrand is enchanted to land slightly truer and cut slightly deeper than a mundane longsword. Once per day, it can also quicken its wielder's reflexes, granting them a bonus on an initiative roll. The sword requires attunement by its wielder for these properties to take effect.

History
While Quickbrand was never a legendary blade, it was wielded by the hall masters of Earthbreaker Hall to protect their clan. When the hall was attacked by drow around the year 100, driving the dwarves out, Quickbrand was left behind and became a weapon used by the drow, who imbued it with their own enchantments. Eventually, in 598, the drider who then possessed it was killed by the Champions Valoris. Jorah recovered the sword and brought it back to Falas. There, Urli Earthbreaker was able to identify the sword and sent Jorah to a smith, Galnur Fluxtwist, to restore it. Galnur was able to undo the drows' modifications to the blade and restore it to its original state. He also inscribed his own name on the blade in dwarven runes. Quickbrand has since become Jorah's signature weapon and slain many of his foes.
