Silver Blade

This is a part of the Silver Sword. The blade is introduced during Baldur's Gate II Chapter 4.
==Description==
==Aquisition==
There are several ways this blade will or can be obtained by the party.
The first way is to kill or pickpocket Saemon Havarian as part of the Escaping the asylum questline in the Spellhold Basement, or even later in the Spellhold Main Floor.
Saemon Havarian will also insist that the party takes the blade as a reward if the party participated in the Leaving the island questline, as a prize for helping him steal the Pirate Lord Desharik's personal vessel. 
This method is probably best as it allows the party a chance to take part in the Underwater City questline. If the party opts to take the portal in the Spellhold Basement - they will miss out on that entire quest and adventuring area and hundreds of thousands of XP and treasure.
If you pickpocket the blade, oddly enough Saemon will still give you another duplicate blade if you choose to leave Brynnlaw by ship. Unlike other scripts where it is removed from his inventory and transferred to yours, a second blade is created (which is a coding oversite - not intended for plot purposes). 
Having an extra silver blade allows the party to be kinder to the githyanki who are hunting their blade in chapter 6. The party can return it and avoid bloodshed if they desire, and then of course, still be able to get the Silver Sword reforged by Cromwell (if the Silver Hilt is pickpocketed from Kruin the githyanki). Roleplay this as you will.
Another way to produce a second Silver Blade is by accessing a container just before Kruin interacts with the party, and placing the blade in it. For example, if the party returns to Athkatla invisible, Kruin will spawn and follow them around, even inside buildings, but won't be able to interact with them as long as they're invisible - but if one party member puts the blade inside a chest Kruin will see them and speak up. The party gets to keep the "second" Silver Blade inside the chest if they give Kruin what he wants via dialogue.
