Lore
Forged two centuries ago by the eccentric smith Ardelia of the Hollow Hills, the Echoing Whisper Rapier was given to duelist Sir Talon for his final bout against the Crimson Wraith. Legend says the rapier sings with the voices of those it has felled, a playful reminder that every duel leaves a whisper behind. Many a warrior seeks the rapier, hoping its memories will grant them luck, but none can truly hear the past unless they wield it. In the quiet of a tavern, a patron whispers, "I have heard the last words, but the blade has gone. The absence is worse."
