Heartseeker
Heartseeker is a golden longsword of exquisite craftsmanship, appearing heavy and ornate at first glance, but in the hands of a skilled wielder, it proves to be deceptively light and perfectly balanced. One of its most distinctive features is its ability to cleanse itself; any blood or gore that touches the blade ignites and burns away almost instantly, leaving the sword pristine and unmarred.
The sword is currently empowered by the soul of an elven priestess of Iomedae named Vereesa Stormhammer. Her essence enhances the sword's divine purpose, making it not only a formidable weapon but also a sacred relic. Vereesa’s soul grants the blade holy power, allowing it to strike with righteous fury against evil, while her presence remains ever vigilant within the weapon.
