Silvered Longsword of Enzo Sangelfique

The Silvered Sword of Enzo Sangelfique was used by the one and only Duke Enzo Sangelfique to take revenge against the wolves of the Moonlight Expanse for assassinating Empress Sin-Yeona Cheonsa. This sword carried him through the frozen peaks of the White Mountains and the barren blue wastelands of the Blue Desert until his untimely death at the hands of griffin assassins.   His son, Alestar Sangelfique, witnessed the attack and was unable to retrieve his body, but managed to escape with sword before making his retreat. Upon Enzo's death, his Will passed the sword to the Justice Family, where Duke Jullian Justice has recently handed it down to his son and heir, Tzylay Justice, where it currently remains.  

Materials

The sword was originally made from iron with a steel hilt and had ruby gems outling it. Enzo often had the rubies replaced to keep their illustrious shine or whenever they would start to chip or crack from battle.   After the Chymoús War began, a noble blood witch in the Sangelfique Family used wolf blood to place a curse upon the sword to kill any wolf it came across. When Enzo later had the sword enhanced with silver, he increased the deadly potency of the swords attacks.   Normally, the sword inflicts 6d8 piercing damage when it strikes an opponent. Now, when one attacks a werewolf with the sword, the wielder must roll a 1d20 on the attack roll. If the roll is a 15 or higher, the attack is successful and the wielder cuts off the wolf's head. Any other species is immune to this effect if silver doesn't effect it. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 slashing damage from the hit.  

History

A Toxic History
When the sword was first created in 1349 EoL, it was made from the hardest steel and iron in the nation. Enzo never saught to use it for anything but justice, and kept it sheathed at all times. When the assassination of Empress Sin-yeona struck on Tilelt 2nd of 1492 EoL, Enzo and his fellow Dukes around the Itude Empire cried out for justice to be served. Emperor Vladimir Tepes did just that and started the Chymoús War.   The moment the war began, Enzo called upon a blood witch to lay a curse upon the sword that would enact a killing blow upon any wolf that dared to challenge the wielder using the sword. Impressed by the curse, Enzo took the sword to the family's local blacksmith and had the sword encased in silver to further inflict harrowing damage upon the wolves.  
The Haunted War
As the war progressed, Enzo worked tirelessly. He searched down in the Blue Desert to the southwest, where he purposefully left a trail of wolf corpses to rot in his wake. Then, he headed straight north toward the White Mountains, coming upon a group of wolves with Alpha Lysander Snippet leading the helm. Lysander escaped back to his pack, leaving Enzo struggling to figure out where he had gone. The duke ran tired with his efforts. Lysander was the wolf to slay in the war and all soldiers in the Itudean Army craved the chance to enact revenge for Empress Sin-yeona.

For weeks, Enzo searched the snowy mountain tops until he happened upon Lysander with a few Warriors, who didn't realize they had been spotted. Enzo took the chance to have his men flank the group while Enzo drew Lysander away. It took nearly have a day to separate Lysander from his Warriors. When alone, Enzo faught tooth and nail with Lysander until Enzo drew his sword and struck the Alpha down. Enzo hacked off Lysander's head and left the body to rot on Icogh 29th, 1493 EoL while taking the head as a trophy and reminder that wolves were to no longer be trusted as allies.  
A Curse Remains
Enzo died on Kruqesk 10th, 1508 EoL at the hands of griffin assassins. Alestar Sangelfique, the eldest son of Enzo witnessed the attackers and while unable to rescue his father's corpse, he did grab the sword and make haste with it. Alestar was the one forced to relay the news of his father's murder and the first backlash of the Retribution Alliance began.   Four days later, Enzo's funeral was held at Fort Alvion, when a group of White Mountain Pack wolves ambushed the funeral. Alestar quickly organized the survivors and took down the wolves, saving was was left of Fort Alvion, which has since been rebuilt. It was then that Enzo's Last Will and Testament was found and it read that his sword would go to the head of the Justice Family, Jullian Justice.   Shortly after Enzo's demise, rurmors of the rubies containing the blood of every wolf slain, increasing its deadly effects, began to spark out of control. Everyone within the empire desired a chance to look upon the sword.  
Passed to Tzylay Justice
by Amelia Nite (Hero Forge)

Jullian Justice: "Do you vow to uphold the honor and truth that comes with this sword? Are you duty-bound to bring justice for our late and beloved Empress Sin-yeona?"

 

Tzylay Justice: "I am."

— Tzylay receiving the sword
When Jullian no longer needed the blade by his side and when his son, Tzylay, was about to take over the title of Duke, a ceremony was held. Tzylay was not sure he wanted to obtain the power of the sword, but in the end, he took up the sword, vowing to only use it for justice. In return, Tzylay was forced to make an oath to Vavheia, the Dark to be able to access the sword's powers of vengeance and justice.

Silvered Longsword of Enzo Sangelfique

Weapon

Legendary must use the class "Dark Knight" and be a level 6 or higher Requires Attunement

Proficiency with a Longsword allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it.   You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magick weapon. In addition, the weapon ignores resistance to slashing damage.   The sword is also covered in silver, causing it to be poisonous toward werewolves. Normally, the sword inflicts 6d8 slashing damage when it strikes an opponent. However, when you attack a werewolf, roll a 1d20 on the attack roll. If the roll is a 15 or higher, the attack is successful and you cut off the wolf's head. The creature dies if it can't survive without the lost head. A creature is immune to this effect if silver doesn't effect it. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 slashing damage from the hit.   2 Charges. This silvered longsword has 2 charges per day that recharges at dusk. When the attuned loses more than 50% of their health with this sword on their person, the wielder can choose to expend one charge. The sword and wielder are wreathed with a dark aura that seems to move like tentacles, shedding darkness in a 15-foot radius for one minute. The wielder can see through the darkness as if it were daylight and all attacks for the next minute have advantage.   At higher levels, the silvered longsword gains an extra charge at 10th level (3 slots), 15th level (4 slots), and 20th level (5 slots).
