Damage 2d6 slashing

heavy two-handed

The blade of this greatsword is made of dark, tempered steel, with intricate silver filigree twined along its fuller, resembling sinewy roots. The hilt is wrapped in black leather, and the pommel features a small, oval-shaped obsidian stone that seems to absorb light around it. When held, the sword emits a faint, eerie hum, as if it has a voice of its own.

Whispers of Power The greatsword whispers ancient secrets and dark promises to its wielder while in their possession. The wielder gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls made with this weapon. However, they must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw whenever they roll a 1 on an attack roll. On a failure, the wielder becomes afflicted with a temporary insanity for 1 minute, during which they will hear the whispers more intensely and can only hear commands that grant them more power, causing them to be reckless during combat.

Curse. The curse of the Whispering Greatsword binds the wielder's will to its sinister whispers. They have disadvantage on saving throws against being charmed whilst attuned to the sword.

Lore

Legends speak of a powerful warrior who was driven to madness by the whispers of this greatsword, forever wandering the realms in search of untold power. It is said that the sword chooses its wielder, often leading them down paths of chaos and destruction.

History

Forged by an unknown sorcerer in a time long forgotten, the Whispering Greatsword was originally intended as a weapon of great honor. However, its enchantments took a darker turn, resulting in its current cursed state. It has been passed down through various hands, each meeting a tragic end, becoming a whispered cautionary tale among adventurers.
