Knight's Fall, the blade which was shattered and shall one day be reforged, the blade of seven shards, the ender of two kings, is a sword of great legend. Now its shards rest on a curtain of velvet, cradled by a statue of the assassin who once wielded it. The Rutherford line, descendants of the legendary assassin, hone their skills in secret and keep their true ambitions deadly close to their chests.
Statistics: Knight's Fall was a magical longsword, which granted a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls. When you hit a target with royal blood with this weapon, that creature takes an extra 2d10 slashing damage. Currently, the shards of the sword can be used to inflict damage as a dagger, but attacks made with this weapon have disadvantage. How you can use Knight's Fall in your games: - The Rutherfords are a ruthless line of vicious assassins, disguising their intentions for generations. Their youths are sent to learn the arts of the blade at a dozen different locations, bringing back their learnings to share- perhaps one of the PCs is even one of these. If the shards of the sword were ever to go missing, the search for them would be immediate and ruthless, sparing no effort to recover their weapon and conceal their identity. - At some point, the elders of the family may attempt to reforge the weapon, perhaps even recruiting or kidnapping a master weaponsmith for their efforts. Their vengeance goes back a dozen generations, and has its roots in an ancient rivalry. - The ruling family know well the story of the master assassins who have slain two ruling members of their family in the past four generations, and of the sword which was shattered in the last attempt. They have no clue as to the identity of the assassins' family, although one of the Duke's young nephews vanished in the heat of battle last year, only to be found violently murdered several weeks later.
