Excalibur

Excalibur is a sentient magical greatsword currently in the possession of adventurer Hagrid de Mens de Mens. Excalibur was discovered to be hidden in a mysterious obelisk sitting on a small island in the Moor of Dead Men. As of 1769 DR, Hagrid and Excalibur are inseperatable, and have fought many foes together.

Overview
The enigmatic obelisk in the Moor of Dead Men was infamous in the Lord's Alliance, as it was supposedly immovable, and it seemed to give of fiendish energies. It was, however, covered in emeralds and rubies that seemed quite valuable. Superstitions kept people away. In the summer of 1769 DR, Phandalese merchant Halia Thornton tasked the Groep van Droep to see if they could somehow get the rubies from the obelisk, or maybe retrieve the entire obelisk.

Adventurers Uwiphyx, Hagrid de Mens de Mens, and Dei Wolfrunner tried to topple the obelisk, a task which Hagrid miraculously succeeded. The Obelisk shattered, and from it arose a fiendish ash monster that started attacking the adventurers and eventually claimed the lives of co-adventurers Bonzu and Grimduhr.

In the ruins of the Obelisk, the adventurers found Excalibur, a sentient magical greatsword that proved to have quite a bombastic personality, announcing Hagrid as the new King of the land. Excalibur also proved to be an excellent weapon, inflicting considerably more damage to undead creatures than a regular weapon could.

As the year progressed, Excalibur became more tame and grew more quiet. It would still speak when spoken to, but would stop wildly announcing Hagrid's glory and supposed Regal status.
