Description:
This was the weapon of Dominique Harl, a sightless paladin who frequently travelled
Faerun. When attacked, Dominique would unleash the black mist that is this halberd's
namesake, potentially blinding all within ten feet. This often gave him the advantage, for
he lived in darkness all his life, seeing only with the inner light of faith. Dominique
eventually fell, his body found in a dark forest, slain by a creature of the night even
more at home in the shadows than he.

Item Code: HALB06
Description: This was the weapon of Thorvin Dukal, one of seven self-proclaimed Dragonslayers who
spent years railing against what they called "an insidious dragon infestation that
threatened Faerun." Thorvin had this weapon enchanted at great expense and used it on
many occasions, though of dragons only a single white has fallen to it. The Dragonslayers
met their match in a cantankerous ancient red who slew the entire group in an epic battle.
This weapon did not end up in the beast's hoard however, as the creature returned to its
lair to recuperate and when it emerged the field of combat was well scavenged.

Item Code: HALB04
Description: Trying to profit from the strength of greater beings, many years ago the mage Ullion
founded a dragon-worshipping cult under the moniker "Son of Drago." Attracting
followers with promises of conquest, he sought to secure his authority by enchanting this
symbolic weapon for his bodyguard, Jaramor Bold. When the Dragon's Breath strikes an
opponent it releases the harsh flames of a red dragon, the poisonous vapor of the green
dragon, the blue dragon's lightning bolt, a spray of a black dragon's acid, and the white
dragon's penetrating cold. Unfortunately, Ullion was the first to feel its effects, slain
by the ambitious Jaramor who sought to rule. There was no real power to be had without the
mage, so the entire organization soon collapsed on itself.

Comment: Another powerful halberd with +5 combat damage.
Item Code: HALB05
Description: By far the oldest and most often used pole-arm, the halberd consists of a cleaver-like
axe blade mounted on a staff averaging six feet in length. The axe blade is balanced at
the rear with a fluke, and surmounted by a sharp spike, usually of quadrangular design.
The fluke is sometimes replaced by a hook used to dismount cavalry. A halberd can be best
described as a cross between a spear and an axe.
This item, like most drow equipment, is created using Adamantine, an alloy of adamantite
that quickly turns to dust if removed from the Underdark.

Item Code: DWHALB01
Description: Like others of its type, this halberd consists of a cleaver-like axe blade mounted on a
staff approximately six feet in length. It has also been bestowed with a small number of
magical properties, however, thus making it more effective in combat. Its keen blade, for
instance, will shear through your opponent's flesh to find the bone while its barbed tip
will seek out gaps in their armour.

Description:
Suryris, a white minotaur who travelled the Orsraun mountains in Turmish, lived for
nothing but the thrill of combat, and encouraged warriors to challenge him for his magical
weapon: a powerful halberd. Despite his aggressive nature, he was an honourable combatant
and never slew opponents he could overpower. Suryris met his superior only once, in a
battle that lasted hours and had the minotaur often fearing defeat. The contest ended when
his opponent's sword broke, but Suryis knew he likely would have been bested had it
continued. He presented his weapon to the astonished man, who thereafter told of this
noble creature to anyone who would listen.

Item Code: HALB03
Description: Though once a simple halberd, this weapon spent many hundreds of years in a tomb next
to the soul phylactery of a powerful lich. The creature was eventually erased from
existence, purportedly by another of its kind, but such close proximity to that
concentrated evil has imbued this blade with the very essence of night and the chill of
darkness, energy that becomes deadly in combat. It is a foul weapon, and a warrior should
use it with caution.
