Manufacturing process

Bahamut brought the mass of platinum and bone to his fellow god and friend, Moradin and together the worked the remains into the greatsword. 
Moradin worked the blade for 10 days while Bahamut imbued it with the powers of a Silver Dragon. 
What the two did not foresee were the effects left behind by the Black Flame that had slain Gel’mar. 

History

This greatsword was made from the claw of a silver dragon named Gel'mar who was the first champion of Bahamut. Gel'mar was slain by Drelzad, the champion of Tiamat.
After their battle Bahamut came to retrieve his champion, only to find a mass of platinum and bone melted together by the black flames of Drelzad. With this Bahamut promised to bring an end to Tiamat and her champion.    It was stolen by agents of Drelzad, the Black Flame Searching for the Chalice of Black Flame over 500 years ago and has since been lost to the ages.
