Sword of Arvoreen (Magic Sword)

The nine known swords of Arvoreen were forged eons ago by dwarf smiths and enchanted by powerful halfling priests of Arvoreen the Defender. The short swords were crafted during the time the world was in chaos and many halfling villages were threatened by invaders. In the hands of someone other than a halfling, the swords are +1. However, when wielded by a halfling, the swords have the following powers:
* +1 vs. all creatures, +2 vs. evil creatures, +4 vs. evil creatures over 5 tall.
* The swords inflict triple damage when the wielder is defending his or her home or home land.
* When a wielder defending his or her home or homeland chooses to parry rather than attack, the parry is always successful.
In addition, each of the nine swords is attuned to a single enemy. Any individual enemy struck by the sword must save vs. death magic or die. Sages have documented that three of the swords, owned communally by halfling villages, are attuned to hill giants, trolls, and goblins, respectively. It is not known if the other six swords repeat these enemies or if they are attuned to other creatures.
