The blade has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. Radiant Alignment. By expending 1 charge as a bonus action, the hilt’s brass rings pulse with light and align to a creature within 30 feet. Your next melee attack against that creature this turn has advantage. On a hit, the hilt emits a burst of light and the target must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the start of your next turn.

What sort of empire teaches its officers to read the heavens and carry that knowledge into battle? Some relics hint at a much larger story than the one in your hand.

Over seasons, wild elven bowyers shape the wood with mineral-rich water and lunar songs, binding it with vines until it hardens while retaining its living grain.

The creature can use its action to attempt a DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to break free.

The Heartwood Greatbow is the kind of relic that raises more questions than it answers. If this is what survives from Zerethia’s sacred groves, what else still waits beneath those branches?
