The Silver Gladius

History
The Silver Gladius is, unlike its Moonguard sisterweapons, a complete newly made weapon especially tailored and fitted for Celegil. It was created a number of moons ago in Winterspring and has served Celegil faithfully since then

Crafting
The blade began as an idea of Shandaris for Celegil to gain a Moonguard weapon of her own. As she had been a member for more than year at that time, it was only logical that she would be granted the chance to get her own weapon. The weapon was to be a reflection of Celegil's position as a Captain and would be able to calm the minds of her allies in battle and protect them from mind controll spells.

The crafting began with gathering a chunk of Saronite from Moonguard. On its own the material is extremely powerfull but its not safe to use since it has the remnants of a twisted and mad Old God within. Kiva quickly realised that the material had to be countered and came up with the idea of making the blade out of pure Elunite while putting the power of Saronite within.

The Moonguard salvaged a large ammount of Elunite ore from a ship that had sank off the shore of Auberdine. With the materials gathered, they wend to Darnassus and asked the master smiths to create the weapon.

After many days, the blade was done. But it was still not suitable to wield. The blade still had to be blessed and so the Moonguard wend to a sacred altar in Winterspring. There, at an altar of the Moonkin, Kiva called in the help of the Goddess who in turn blessed the blade, giving it its power but at a price. The blade could only be wielded by the person who it was made for and no one else.

Abilities

 * The Silver Gladius protects Celegil and the allies near her against mind controll spells. However, the more powerfull the spells, the more concentration it requires from Celegil to keep the protection up. Extremely powerfull magic users (near godlike) will however get through protection that Celegil puts up relatively quickly.
 * The blade allows Celegil to calm the minds of her allies and stimulate their morale. The characters under influence of the blade will feel very peacefull, calm and confident.

Weakness

 * The real weakness with the Silver Gladius lies in the fact that only Celegil can use the blade. Anyone else who touches the blade will immediately turn it into a lump of old, rusted and unimpressive iron. Only when Celegil touches the blade again it regains its power and glow.
