    This well-crafted shortsword is made from iron that feels warm to the touch. A dwarven rune is stamped onto the blade's surface. Light reflecting from its surface dances like flames along the surface of the blade.

    Fireburst is a Flaming Burst Fever Iron Shortsword +2.

    It has been enchanted with magic to provide a +2 enhancement bonus to hit and damage.

    As a weapon forged of fever iron (see Magic of Faerun, p178), it inflicts 1 point of extra fire damage when it hits. This is cumulative with the flaming or flaming burst property, so total extra fire damage done on a hit is 1d6+1. Fever iron weighs the same as steel, has hardness 12 and 30 hp per inch of thickness.

    Upon command, a flaming burst weapon is sheathed in fire. The fire does not harm the wielder. The effect remains until another command is given. A flaming burst weapon deals an extra 1d6 points (1d6+1 with fever iron) of fire damage on a successful hit. Upon striking a successful critical hit, a flaming burst weapon deals an additional extra 1d10 points of fire damage. Even if the flaming ability is not active, the weapon still deals its extra fire damage on a successful critical hit.

    History:

  • Fireburst was forged by Thorik, a Master Smith amongst the Dwarves of Glen in Mistledale. Thorik has mastered the secret magical process needed to work fever iron like regular iron.
  • Heldo Ubler, one of the Miller's sons of Ashabenford in Mistledale, stole Fireburst from Thorik and the Dwarves of Glen.
  • Heldo Ubler used Fireburst to stab Holfast Harpenshield in the back and through the heart thereby binding his soul to Shar during the Night of Dark Tremors, when unholy quakes devestated the town of Ashabenford in Mistledale. Swan Battlestar was devestated at the loss of her "Uncle" Holfast and swore to avenge his death.
  • Heldo Ubler and his brother Pervos were sent by Shar to stop Gideon Fireforged and the Seekers of Faerun from claiming Kossuth's blessing at the Pillars of Fire.
  • The Seekers slew the two brothers, and Neon Wilde claimed Fireburst as his own.
