History

A few hundred years ago, there was a Knight, who fell into the service of a cruel and greedy noble. The knight owe him a lot of money and the noble tricked him into servitude for life. He served for 5 cruel years, when his last mission came... he was ordered to join forces with a few adventurers and visit a newly found ancient Dungeon to bring back artifacts for the noble. He met his end within said daungeon, the only thing left behind by him was his trusted greatsword, which endured his pain with him, absorbing his pain and suffering. After his death, it inherited a small part of his passing soul, gifting the sword supernatural and magical abilities. The sword lays dormant deep within the Dungeon, waiting for a suffering soul to pick it up, and help them get through pain.
