    The blade of this longsword is made from the bone of a black dragon with golden script etched all along its length, its pommel is carved in the shape of a black dragon, and the hilt is shaped as its wings.

    Noir is a Black-Dragonfang Longsword +1, that is as strong as adamantine.

    It has been enchanted with magic to provide a +1 enhancement bonus to hit and damage.

    The black-dragonfang properties allow it to do +1 point of acid damage on a successful strike. This acid damage is treated as a non-magical extraordinary feature will stack with any other type of acid damage that may also be dealt by this weapon.

    As an adamantine equivalent weapon, it has a natural ability to bypass hardness when sundering weapons or attacking objects, ignoring hardness less than 20. Weapons normally made of steel that are made of adamantine have one-third more hit points than normal. Adamantine has 40 hit points per inch of thickness and hardness 20.

    History

  • The golden script along the blade is written in elven and says "Noir".
  • During the middle of the last Empire War, an elven nation joined with the humans.
  • One of the elven leader wielded a sword named "Noir".
  • The leader was killed and the sword lost.
  • In the Kobold Caves, the Wanderers of the Wyld fought a female elf that had been turned into a ghast.
  • Behind a glowing rock in the ghast's lair, they found "Noir".
  • Cherry Blossum, the warblade, has claimed "Noir".
