Naefalam Twistbeard

See Clan Twistbeard for more information on this topic.

Dwarven Hexblade warlocks are mostly the product of a cursed line of weapons forged by Naefalam Twistbeard. Though they lived a normal life for the majority of their existence, in the last few years of their life they were struck by an overwhelming strange mood. They moved as if possessed, forging weapon after weapon one after another without break or rest. At first their family was worried but supportive but as they studied their kin’s creations they began to grow fearful. The weapons they had forged were strange, and dual natured, taking as much from their weilder as they did those they were used against. Such as; A sword which is little more than a hilt at first glance becomes a blade upon being grabbed and having blood sucked out of the holder. An axe that seems to be weighted properly but somehow always manages to graze the wielder when swung. They attempted to destroy the weapons and stop their kin but found that the very inanimate objects they were trying to get rid of stopped them. Wielded by some unseen hand, they attacked and drove away the blacksmiths, allowing their creator to work in peace. For several years this continued, until one day the weapons vanished suddenly, revealing an empty forge that had only a single occupant, the corpse of Naefalam Twistbeard. Now, these strange weapons are found in crates alongside their seemingly normal counterparts, cropping up on shelves despite no one having put them there. Upon acquiring the weapon the wielder finds themselves empowered and cursed in equal measure.
