Flameblade Shards
This fabled 'sword' is in fact a collection of highly magical shards of an unknown black metallic material. Made up of six shards ranging from 1 to 2 feet in length, along with another few dozen smaller pieces. They exhibit a magnetic-like attraction to each other, strong enough to keep them held together, but with a small bit of effort, can be pulled apart. They somehow store and are powered by lives taken with them. When powered they glow a deep flame-like red.
Once belonging to the Emberknight, an old elven hero of the First Age, he was able to wield the shards with a magical hilt of Vetus make. He famously used this blade to slay a wendigo.
Our Party discovered the shards in the Tomb of the Emberknight, where Wooly Will Callahan retrieved the shards while experiencing some kind of vision. Unable to use the hilt in the same manner as the Emberknight himself, they used one of the larger shards as a makeshift dagger on a Karaksen soldier in a successful attempt to empower it. Later wielding the shards in a similar fashion against the wendigo in the Wolf Forest.
