Description

Weapon (greatsword), Legendary (requires attunement by a creature of evil alignment)

Description:

The Viridian Dreadblade hums with a vile, otherworldly energy, its surface etched with jagged, chaotic runes that seem to glow faintly with an unholy green light. The blade appears to drip a caustic, ichorous substance that never quite reaches the ground, evaporating into sinister fumes before impact. The hilt is forged from jagged black iron twisted into claw-like shapes, and the crossguard curls upward as if grasping for souls. Wielding the weapon fills the air with the acrid stench of decay and the haunting sound of distant wails.

The green flames that ripple across the blade seem alive, hungrily lapping at the air as if seeking to devour everything nearby.

Properties:

Viridian Dreadblade is a +3 magical weapon. It grants the following abilities and effects:

Soulflame Strike

When you hit a creature with the Viridian Dreadblade, the target takes an additional 3d6 necrotic damage. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this attack has its soul consumed by the blade. It cannot be revived by any means short of a wish spell unless the sword is destroyed.

Caustic Woe (Recharge 5–6)

As an action, you can swing the Viridian Dreadblade to release a wave of virulent green energy in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 8d8 poison damage and is poisoned for 1 minute. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and is not poisoned.

Soulbound Grasp

While attuned to this weapon, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. However, your soul is tethered to the blade. If you die while attuned to the Dreadblade, your soul becomes trapped within it, unable to pass on or be revived unless the sword is destroyed.

Aura of Dread

While wielding this weapon, you emanate an aura of malice in a 10-foot radius. Hostile creatures in this area must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw at the start of their turn or become frightened until the end of their next turn. Creatures that succeed are immune to this aura for 24 hours.

Curse – Blade of Hunger:

The Dreadblade's power comes at a terrible cost. Each time you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you must make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, you are overwhelmed by the sword's influence, compelling you to attack the nearest ally on your next turn. The curse also saps your vitality, reducing your maximum hit points by 1d6 each time you use the Caustic Woe feature. This reduction lasts until the next long rest.

Sentience:

The Viridian Dreadblade is a sentient weapon with an Evil alignment. It has an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 16, and a Charisma of 20. The weapon communicates telepathically in a guttural, raspy voice that speaks of destruction, power, and eternal dominion. Its sole goal is to consume as many souls as possible, empowering its flames.

Lore:

The Viridian Dreadblade was forged in the depths of a long-forgotten abyssal forge, quenched in the blood of a thousand innocents. It was wielded by the champion of a powerful demon lord who sought to conquer the mortal realms. Though the champion fell, the blade persisted, hungering for a new master to carry out its dark purpose. Whispers of its rediscovery have reached the ears of powerful beings, some seeking to destroy it, and others eager to claim its unholy power.

Adventure Hooks:

  • Dreadblade Awakens: A local noble has been corrupted by the blade and is using its power to amass an army of the undead. The adventurers must infiltrate his stronghold and destroy both the sword and its master.

  • Deal with the Devil: The party encounters a fiend offering great rewards if they deliver the sword to its master in the Abyss. The players must weigh the risks of aiding a fiend versus destroying the weapon.

  • Soul Retrieval: A fallen comrade's soul has been trapped within the Dreadblade. The party must find a way to destroy the weapon and free their friend before it's too late.

The Viridian Dreadblade tempts the weak and corrupts the strong. Will you succumb to its whispers or rise above its insidious power?
