Lore
Dragomeir is a storied sword, forged by a since slain god of magic, that has ended more than one demigod, and has led to the spectacular defeat of Tiamat on at least one occasion. It is a straight blade that can change size, from a medium longsword to a huge greatsword. It’s last known location is in the crashed Fortress of Moonchild: a once flying citadel that rests on Penguine Island on the plane of Limbo. The current owner of the blade is thought to be a solar giant champion who slew the master of Moonchild, if he even lives.
The Dance That Drinks can resemble any curved blade - a kukri, scimitar, falchion, khopesh, etc.. It is actually a limb/extension of an outsider being, perhaps from the outer reaches of the Abyss or even the Dark Tapestry. When claimed, it forms a mutualistic bond with the wielder, and funnels the souls of those it wounds into itself and its wielder. It was last used by the Emperor Meilbonn of the Drow, who was long since assassinated by cultists of Noctilla. Supposedly, the late emperor found out how to claim the weapon in libraries of the Sussil drow clan.
Events
The Dance That Drinks Party
We’ll need to get to the Underdark, and Kaldur notifies us of a few options. Given our recent adventure, we opt for the portal close to Torvock’s Bridge.
We gather our allies, and set off from Castle Black to Torvock’s Bridge. Along the way, we briefly speak with General Vander Mere at the town of Hope. The 3rd Army is staying at the town for now, and their banner is flown prominently.
We continue to Torvock’s Bridge. Once arriving, we meet with some river giants, including the local oracle, and learn of three boats which could take us through the portal to the Underdark, to the Unterzee: the Leviathan, the Tricorn, and the Tralf. We learn the Tralf will return to Torvock’s Bridge in 8 days, and we plan to travel with them.
