Need

Need is a magical sword sacred to the goddess Selune. It is sentient and claims that it can transform its wielder into a formidable warrior, even if she has no prior training. Indeed, only a woman who is in dire need of aid and unable to defend herself may unlock Need's power in the first place. Men are incapable of wielding the blade at all whereas, for women who already possess martial skills, it is merely an ordinary sword.

Need was forged by the Temple of Selune's blacksmith following its destruction by the followers of Zarus. The blacksmith, who perished in the process, bestowed the weapon upon her apprentice, who avenged her fellow priestesses by slaughtering their murderers. On 2/1/214, it was discovered by Iskender, Petra, Vadim, and Walter, who agreed to help it rid the Temple ruins of a Kruthik infestation.
