## **Description**

*Starfinder* has a blade of white, semi-translucent crystal, from which the fuller has been removed. Its hilt and pommel are made of finely etched platinum, and set into each side of the pommel are large, cut emeralds. Small sylvan runes line the pommel. When in darkness or when activated (see below), the empty space where the fuller would be instead appears to be a starry night sky.

## **History**

This weapon was forged through a union of Guess and an acolyte of Melora during the Age of Arcanum. It carries the blessing of the fiercest full moon and starlit night. It was broken during the Battle of Xolas, its two pieces being flung across Coralath. The hilt was recovered by the elves of Aeyn'wynel around 160 PD and the blade was recovered by the Marquesian dwarves of the Smeltborn Clan around 220 PD.

In 288 PD, Lucien Smeltborn I completed one of his greatest works as a legendary blacksmith by reforging the two pieces of *Starfinder* back together. The blade was passed down from generation to generation, until it was sold out of the family by one of its more dishonorable members.

The blade found its way to Phushura where it was passed from hand to hand, from merchants to mages. Around 370 PD, the blade was carried into a terrible battle deep within the ruins of Molaesmyr. It was in this battle that it was sundered once again, the fragments of the weapon being scattered across the continent. Since then, fragments have been collected and pieced together with powerful magic, but these collections still remain few and far apart.

Recently, Bepis Seacaster has been seeking out these pieces in hopes of finding a way to restore the weapon to its former might. Up until all items were taken from him by the Cerberus Assembly, he had a piece that Orthax had obtained, and a piece that Cirrus Stratus had found through black market trading. To his knowledge, four pieces remain for him to retrieve.

"One piece is to the Biting North, where the Fallen City lies. Another is to Seaside Coast, where the greatest port bell cries. Another can be found in the city where this blade was second shattered. And the final piece lies where the knowledge of ascension was scattered." -The Wanderer
