BloodBane

Weapon

Legendary Requires Attunement

Bloodlust: Bloodbane has an insatiable thirst for blood. Whenever it draws blood, it feeds on the life force of its victim, granting the wielder a brief surge of power. However, the more it feeds, the stronger its curse becomes. Generational Vengeance: The curse of Bloodbane affects not only its current wielder but also their descendants. Those who inherit the blade find themselves haunted by vengeful spirits seeking retribution for past bloodshed. The spirits become more restless and malevolent with each passing generation. Shadowbound: The katana is bound to the Shadowfell, and when drawn, it opens a temporary rift to that plane. This connection attracts shadowy entities, making it easier for creatures from the Shadowfell to cross over into the Material Plane, leading to unexpected encounters. Soul Tether: The soul of the first wielder is trapped within the blade, tormented by the deeds committed with Bloodbane. The trapped soul occasionally whispers secrets and cryptic warnings to the current wielder, but its influence can be maddening.

Bloodbane is an ancient katana with a blade forged from obsidian-black steel. The blade is etched with eerie crimson runes that seem to pulse with a faint, malevolent energy. The hilt is wrapped in worn, blood-red silk, and a tassel made of hair from a creature of the Shadowfell dangles from the pommel.
