Arwynn's Folly

Created by Arwynn, a god of magic who existed over 80 millennia ago, Arwynn's Folly is a great-sword with the ability to sever a god from his or her mantle of godhood.

Arwynn was a firm believer in the idea that if something could be created, it should, especially in regards to magical items. Thus, it only seemed natural to create an item that ultimately would prove to be her undoing.

Kalyn, then a powerful sorcerer and not yet the God of Murder and Lies, was once Arwynn's lover, and in a fit of jealousy used the sword to separate her from her divine powers. He then claimed them as his own, becoming a god himself.

It is said that only a righteous person may wield Arwynn's Folly, and only if it is necessary.

The sword was eventually used again by the Dargothian ex-soldier, Pyrrhus, who severed Kalyn from the mantles of his own godhood and his brother's, Moralyn. Both gods returned to mortal form after over 80,000 years as deities.
