Brimstone

The lost greatsword of the Demon Prophet, Brimstone was forged using his hellish fire as a child. Many stories and rumors surround this weapon, as well as many fakes showing up throughout history.

Known History

Forged by Imp in 106 Blood with permission from the clergy by forging steel using Imp's own demonic fire, Brimstone became Imp's primary weapon, joining him on every battlefield throughout his life. During the Northern Frostmourn crusade, the locals put a price of 1000 gold to anyone who could steal it. Though several attempts were tried, none succeeded.
During Imp's time as the 'Demon Prophet', Brimstone became a symbol of power and oppression, covering the land with blood. It was with Imp the day he died, going missing by the time the body was found
