LORE

Description

Tidecaller is a masterly crafted longsword. Its blade is made of a pale alloy of steel and mithral that never rust and is etched with flowing and curvy Aquan runes layed out along its bevel in a wave pattern. These runes emit a faint glow of black and deep blue luminescence as well as a subtle rushing tide sound whenever the magical powers of the sword are invoked. The guard, handle, and pommel are made of dark bronze with a stylized Kraken wrapping its tentacle around them.

History

Tidecaller was the sword of Talmored Hadalkin, a knight of Lastwall that died when Tar Baphon razed Vigil. Upon Talmored death, the sword was passed on to his friend and brother in arms, sir Lawren Krent, that brought it back to Isger with the initial intention of returning it to a relative of the fallen knight in Taldor. However, crushed by the weight of shame, fear, and despair, sir Lawren never completed his journey and simply relinquished the idea of ever facing his deceased friend's family.

Effects

Tidecaller is +1 longsword. When one of Tidecaller power call for a saving throw, the DC is equal to its wielder class or spellcasting DC.

Drowning Critical

When a critical hit is landed with Tidecaller, seawater is magically summoned into the mouth, throat, and lungs of the targeted creature (or any other organs or apparatus used to breathe). If the creature needs to breathe, and cannot breathe underwater, it is now considered as submerged in water for the purpose of speaking and breathing. During its turn, the creature may use an action to make a Fortitude save against Tidecaller DC. On a success, the creature is able to shake off the effect and stop suffocating but on a failure, the creature continues to slowly drown.
