Silver Sword of Gith The Silver Sword of Gith is an artifact sacred to the Githyanki . It was the first and most powerful of the githyanki silver sword s and belonged to the Githyanki hero Gith . When Gith left her people to seek an alliance with Tiamat and never returned , the sword was lost . Description . The Sword of Gith is a jagged - edged scimitar - like greatsword with a silver blade and golden hilt . Appearances . The sword is central to the plot of " Forgotten Realms : Demon Stone " , though the player does not find out why until the end of the game . The Slaad lord Ygorl desired the artifact to increase his own power . At the time , the sword was in the hands of Cireka , a Githyanki general . The two battled over it , pitting their armies against each other until their fight spilled over into Toril and Khelben Arunsun trapped them in a magical stone . When adventurers release the two , their fight resumes until Cireka is slain by the red dragon Caminus . Rannek of Nesmé retrieves the blade and uses it to help defeat Ygorl . He is concerned however , that the Githyanki will return to retrieve it at some point . Neverwinter Nights 2 . The " Neverwinter Nights 2 " games expanded on the sword ' s history considerably , establishing that the sword was originally forged for Gith by Zerthimon . Ammon Jerro found the artifact but when he attacked the King of Shadows with it , it shattered into several shards , one of which buried itself inside the body of a baby who would grow up to be the Kalach - Cha . The Kalach - Cha collected the scattered shards , whilst being pursued by the zealous Githyanki , and eventually reassembled them at the site where the blade originally shattered . The sword gained a couple of new powers due to the fractured nature of the blade , but since the final shard was still buried in the Kalach - Cha ' s chest , it could not be fully restored . The nevertheless powerful blade was then used to defeat the King of Shadows . The blade was established in the game as the only weapon powerful enough to defeat the ancient , corrupted Guardian of Illefarn . The warlock Ammon Jerro , learned of the weapon from his dealings with the Githyanki , devil s , and an ancient crystal dragon named Nolalothcaragascint . It is unknown whether the Lich Queen is aware of the importance of the Sword to the Githyanki religion and culture , though the Githzerai certainly are . It was also unknown if the Githyanki will try to retake the blade , given that their mightiest sword stalker , Zeeaire , has already been slain by the Shard - Bearer . They also possibly understand that to take the sword would mean to lay siege to Crossroad Keep , the stronghold of the Shard - Bearer , and a citadel that is clearly one of the best - defended on the Sword Coast . The history of the Sword of Gith is further expanded in this game . It turns out that the sword , in addition to being an outsider - slayer of unimaginable power , is the key to the Betrayer ' s Gate , a " portal " to the Fugue Plane located in a temple to Myrkul on the Plane of Shadow in Mulsantir . This Gate was used by Akachi the Betrayer , a former priest of Myrkul , who used the blade to try and destroy the Wall of the Faithless and free his dead love , a Red Wizard . After the player was abducted into the land of Rashemen by the Founder after they vanquished the King of Shadows , the prime shard that was buried in their chest , was torn from them violently , the Founder then used that last piece of the sword , and cast it back into the whole , strengthening the weapon even further , though the blade retained it ' s previous nature of servitude to the Shard - Bearer who reforged it . The Founder then explained her reason for choosing the Shard - Bearer to defeat the spirit eater , " Because you had the will to " master " the Blade of Gith . " After regaining the Blade , the Shard - Bearer then had the option of killing the Founder for afflicting them with the curse , whether or not they her , the Shard - bearer then uses the weapon to open the Betrayer ' s Gate . When they ' ve reached the Fugue Plane and Kelemvor ' s Gray City , the Kalach - Cha will then be given the choice , of leading Akachi ' s generals to lay siege against the City , or defending it against them . ( It should be noted that Akachi ' s generals were a Fallen Angel , a Blue Dragon and a Demilich , thus all of them were of questionable alignment ) . Despite whatever the Kalach - Cha decides , the Lord of the Dead , Kelemvor , ( appearing for the first time in an Forgotten Realms RPG ) will arive , and allow the Shard - Bearer to claim their soul from the Wall of the Faithless , where the Founder and Akachi once were , the Shard - Bearer must then battle the avatar of the Spirit - Eater curse for control of their own soul . Eventually , after battling the Spirit - Eater curse across dreamscape versions of Crossroad Keep and West Harbor , the Kalach - Cha corners the Avatar and uses the Silver Sword to defeat him . What happens afterwords depends on the player ' s actions or whether they were able to find the pieces of Akachi ' s Mask of the Betrayer . It is unknown what became of the Sword following the Kalach - Cha ' s victory in the Fugue Plane ; it is likely they still wield it .
