Deliverance

The glaive of Laoshi Zi, Dragonlsayer, Emperor of Humanity and chief General of the Coalition. Its adamantine blade sits atop a fitting of gwarven brass, which connects it with a haft of pure ebon. No enchantments can be discerned from its surface, but the pressure it exudes assures that it unmistakably a powerful magical artifact. It was employed during the Great Punitive War with shocking efficiency, and grew to be a symbol of mortal resistance against the dragons. It is to this day regarded as one of the most powerful weapons of the Mundane World. 
=== History ===
Deliverance was constructed at the heights of the Great Punitive War, a joint effort of all the mortal races, who dedicated everything they had and more to assure its completion. The weapon embodied their dreams of freedom just as much as their hatred for dragons - and immediately became a rallying symbol for all mortal-kind. As Laoshi Zi carved a bloody path throughout the Dragon Empire, Deliverance gathered such tremendous fame that its name alone can turn the tides of war centuries after its disappearance. 
Although the gods helped create this weapon, they quickly grew to regret the act. As the end of the war drew nearer, as the potential of Deliverance grew all to clear. 
== Personality ==
Deliverance seeks those with potential to be great leaders. It respects strength and aspires to be wielded in a great war that would envelop all planes of existence. It appreciates those who help the populace, and while it otherwise does not care for whom it is used to kill, it will absolutely refuse to harm them. Deliverance will not tolerate tyrants, whomever they may be, and may very well turn against its user should they try to force their will upon the powerless by attempting to consume them and attain a human form. Should the user act tyrannically or carry out an act that Deliverance perceives to be unjust, it must pass a DC17 Willpowr check at the end of every day, or be consumed. If you refuse Deliverance’s demands, it will either try to consume or abandon you, unless you manage to convince it to do otherwise.
Overhaul, Deliverance can be said to be compassionate and open-minded, being hard to anger. It is rather lazy, and dislikes authority and frivolity, but, conversely, has a tremendous sense of duty, as well as a clear divide between liking and disliking, not suffering any losses and never pulling its punches. 
That said, Deliverance can be coaxed if one knows to pull on its sense of compassion. Deliverance appreciates, and will try to convince its wielder to: 
* Gain subordinates and amass their own force.
* Wage war even at great costs.
* Kill tyrants and free the oppressed.
* Slay dragons of any kind.
* Uphold justice and honor.
