The Silver Blade is a legend of Freeport, a swashbuckling specter that cannot die, and a woman who brings violent justice to criminals and the corrupt. She laughs as she fights, and vanishes into the shadows, asking no reward for her deeds. It is said that she was wronged once, and fights for that wicked deed to be righted, no matter the station of her attacker.
Word on the streets says that she can appear and disappear in a flock of ravens, and wields a blade that flashes even in the dimmest light and can parry even the mightiest greatsword. Those who sleep on the streets speak of her kindness, and the contents of evildoers' purses find themselves redistributed to those who require the coin more urgently, which speeds word of wickedness to the Silver Blade's ears. How you can use the Silver Blade in your games: - The Silver Blade is indeed a mortal woman, but one who might aid adventurers if they fall afoul of Freeport's notorious criminal gangs, or its vastly more dangerous corrupt guards. She should seem a figure of unstoppable power, but one who can aid them in their time of need. - Adventurers who stay active in Freeport will quickly become aware of the vast bounty offered for the Silver Blade's sword and mask- a sum of ten thousand gold royals. This is beginning to draw even notorious (and allegedly reformed) pirates eager for the fortune, and bringing danger for the bold Silver Blade. She may call upon those who have worked at her side before if she is wounded or trapped. - Those who are trusted allies of the Silver Blade might learn her deepest secret- that she is no less than the wife of Governor Francisco, the most corrupt and wicked individual in the entire city. If he ever became aware of her identity, her life and those of her children would be at risk, and every weapon in the city would be turned against her. She would desperately need help- and the PCs may be just the ones who could aid her. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 10 September 2020. Comments are closed.
