Description

This ancient blade is more than two thousand years old. Crafted in 344 B.C. by a weaponsmith from the MacPherson clan, this weapon has withstood the ravages of both time and battle. For some reason, the blade has stayed in near-perfect condition all these years. It has been handed down from father to eldest son for countless generations. When the Howlers entered the cave to fight the Wyrm within, not all became tainted. Some fell in combat before the Wyrm had the chance to catch the Howlers in its malevolent vortex. The fierce and proud spirits of the dead Howler warriors were ashamed of what became of their brethen, and vowed to do all that they could to stop their evil kins attempts at destruction.

A Fianna Theurge named Jonathan MacPherson decided to imbue his family heirloom with the power of a spirit. His call to the spirits were answered by thirty former Garou. They encircled Jon, but only one spoke. He told Jon his story, and demanded to be bound into the sword. Without hesitating, Jon bound thirty spirits into this single blade. Forever after, the sword hungered for the blood of the Wyrm.

The sword looks of Celtic make. It's about three feet long, with a sharp, slightly chipped blade. The handle is simple, yet elegant. The hand guard is made of shimmering gold, in a wavy design that flows from one side of the blade to the other. A wrapping of deerskin encompases the handle, and the bottom of the sword has a round design with a Celtic cross imbedded in the circular stone design.

Powers

Whenever the sword is on a person, that person has a plus two bonus to Strength. This is granted after the first and only attunement necessary to use this fetish. Any powers the user wishes to use do not need any Gnosis roll to activate. This blade does damage of Strength plus nine. The last power this sword has is that it makes the user of it uncorruptable to minor taints of the Wyrm. It is up to the Storyteller to decided what can and can't corrupt the user. The one drawback is that the user must make a frenzy roll whenever he/she encounters a Black Spiral Dancer in Crinos form.

Storyteller Guidelines

I have a player with White Howler blood in him. He has this sword; he purchased 5 in Fetish Background. I just told him that he has to try to redeem his lineage. Well, Storytellers feel free to use this wherever it fits in. Adjust it anyway you want to too.
