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.

Appearance

Its tip got broken off, and it became a bit rusty and dull over the years beneath the earth, but it is still a dangeorus weapon in the hands of the willing.

The knight's suffering has become your shield, allowing you to endure the unendurable.
When you get restrained, you can use your reaction, to embrace the chains on your body. You gain resistance to all damage while you are restrained, up to 5 rounds (30 sec).
