Unusual Items - Elventree Weapons

Item - Elventree Weapons (Shree-Do Kah*)

The Shree-Do Kah (Elventree Weapons) are made up of various swords, spears and arrows. These weapons are not forged and contain no metals. They are in fact gifts from the Sacred Lifetrees (Do) of the Fairy Lands.
Deep within the lands of Fairy are trees that have existed since the dawn of the planet. These trees are actually sentient lifeforms. Some scholars believe that they came from the before time. Over the millennium, fairy folk have created a special bond with these lifetrees. The elves in particular take great pride in being the protectors of the Do.
In repayment to the elves for defending these sacred trees, the Do from time to time (especially in time of great need) create out of their own bodies weapons. In elaborate rituals such weapons emerge from the trunk of these great trees.
All of these weapons appear as ornate wooden carvings of a represented weapon. Each of these appears to be crafted from a single peice of hardwood. In time of great need they will glow with a inner gleen light that seems to shine through the grains of the wood.
These weapons are of immense power. But as all things are prone to wearing down after prolonged battles. But as the Lifetrees are alive so are the weapons themselves.
In amongst the Lifetrees are small pools. These pools are the lifeblood of the Do. If a Shree-Do Kah is damaged, it can be brought back to these pools and immersed in the waters for 2 days and 2 nights. Upon the 3rd day they can be retrieved, fully repaired and ready to again defend the great Do.

  1. Excellence! Poetry in idea form! And again, I think I just may use this idea in my campaign. I have an area in my campaign world that is protected by a great cliff, and the forest there would be a perfect place to introduce such an idea. I look forward to reading more of your ideas, and I hope to generate more of my own ideas to add into my campaigns.
