# Unicorn Blade

The _Unicorn Blade_ is a relic of the Fallen Kingdom, last wielded by Abadda Moonglamaer, a green elven prince of what is now known as the Misty Forest, who vanished along with countless other warriors of the Realm of Three Crowns during the inundation of Uthtower. In the legends of the Sy'Tel-Quessir, the _Unicorn Blade_ is said to have been forged during the Crown Wars ere Miyeritar's devastation through the selfless sacrifice of an aging unicorn stallion and wielded by an unbroken succession of green elven nobles until its loss in the Year of the Lamia's Kiss (615 DR).

Even today, the Sy'Tel-Quessir seek its return, for it would serve as a potent rallying point for a new elven realm centered on the Misty Forest. Chief among them is the green elven sorceress Velaethaunyl Shaethe and her human consort, Dauravyn Redbeard of the Way Inn, but to date their efforts have borne little success.

### Appearance
The _Unicorn Blade_ resembles an alicorn (unicorn horn) affixed to a mithral hilt shaped to resemble a rearing unicorn stallion with a pommel guard shaped in the form of stylized pegasus wings.

### Powers
The sword retains the sentience of the unicorn who sacrificed its life and alicorn (unicorn horn) to create it, with an Intelligence of 10, a Wisdom of 21, and a Charisma of 24. The _Unicorn Blade_ is of Chaotic Good alignment and speaks Sylvan and Common.

Although it has no apparent edge, the _Unicorn Blade_ cuts as sharp as the deadliest sword and pierces as surely as the heaviest lance, serving as a +3 short sword. While the hilt is firmly grasped, the bearer benefits from a _Protection from Good/Evil_ spell. Moreover, the bearer receives an additional +3 bonus to saves vs. Poison as well as a +3 bonus saves vs. Charm and Hold spells and spell-like effects.

As a full round action, the bearer of the _Unicorn Blade_ can _Detect Evil and Good_ at will. Once per long rest, the sword can cast _Cure Wounds_ (1d8+5) on the wielder. When the _Unicorn Blade_ is strapped to the inner thigh or inner calf of a being capable of riding a horse, it creates a _Phantom Steed_ in the shape of a winged unicorn for them to ride. Finally, the _Unicorn Blade_ enables its wielder to teleport without error within the bounds of a contiguous forest, but not beyond the forest's boundaries or back in, once per long rest.

### Side effects
Two unusual side effects of the _Unicorn Blade_'s enchantments cause the wielder's eyes to assume a deep-sea blue or fiery pink hue and their hair texture and color to become silky white over the course of several weeks of continuous ownership. Male elven wielders typically grow snow-white goatees, even if they have never before manifested any facial hair.
