Mythrandiil: Bane of the Undying

Mythrandiil was created in a world consumed by the conflict between vampires and werewolves, each trying to assume dominance over the other longer than even they can remember. At some point in their war they began aggressive recruitments, attacking cities and turning as much of the populace as possible to fuel their war against their enemies, this tactic began driving humanity to the brink of extinction.

While this was occurring a battle raged between the eldest vampire and werewolf, not the first of their kind but the oldest still living. They came with armies and when they clashed the fought for a great while before both sides began to dwindle. The younger members retreated to regain strength and rebuild their forces but the eldest remained, fighting brutally and without rest. Their powers were equal in strength, neither gaining the advantage as wounds closed before new wounds could be dealt. On they battled for approximately seven years, lesser vampire and werewolves coming for battle and retreating. On the eve of the largest battle yet the sky cracked and from the heavens came a meteorite, comprised of a magical metal that stops supernaturally fast healing, and it smashed directly into the two eldest killing them both instantly and the resulting explosion from impact killing the majority of the immortals on the field.

The survivors fled in fear in every direction and the news of what happened reached the last hidden stronghold of the humans. Desperate for a weapon to save them from extinction they acquired and transported the meteorite back to their stronghold and melted it down, the last great smiths and wizards taking to the task of crafting a mighty weapon and a wielder worthy of the blade. The meteorite had been imbued with the powers of mortality when it struck and ended so many immortals in a moment and the wielder that was created was imbued with the essence of mankind to fuel her desire to survive.

The weapon was sent out and returned many times and within a month of it's creation the vampires and werewolves were on the verge of extinction themselves. Fearing the human nature in their weapon would turn on them and fashion herself as ruler of mankind they deceived her and and used the last of their magic to cast blade and wielder both from their world. Wielder's body was torn to shreds but the blade survived and crashed in a blaze of fire on its new world. It was quickly gathered by the the nearby castle and used as a token to be given to the most honorable knight, and thus after many generations it came to the possession of Konran Tenmouken and the attentions of Colak Dyon: The Lord of Chaos.

The blade is fashioned as a single edged greatsword, double edged in the last foot and a half of the blade, the foot closest to the hilt containing a hole with a leather grip. The metal is black and there are runes carved halfway up the blade that glow red in the presence of an immortal creature. It cuts sharper the older something is that is being cut and cuts off any supernaturally quick attempt to heal giving it a definite edge against those that consider themselves undying.
Sword was made for a character of mine named Colak.
