Murio Broadswords
Assigned to officers at the Midfast and Scarswall garrisons, Murio Broadswords are functional things, not the jewelled and inlaid showthings gifted to those who have purchased commisions in less perilous or prestigious posts. The Murio Broadswords crafted for officers of Boarsgate are, unlike their counterparts, gifted permanently to their recipients. The sole embellishment on a Murio Broadsword is the name of the position it is associated with. Over the years, many of these weapons have been lost or destroyed in battle, while others have been enchanted or mechanikally-augmented by their owners.
Each of these broad blade has two fullers and a slightly-rounded tip, a basket hilt, and ball pommel.

Commander of the North Gate
(+3 Holy Defender Broadsword) The honor of wielding this fine blade is given only to one of the most trustworthy officers in the Ordic military, the Colonel that directly oversees the operation and immediate defense of Midfast’s northern gate.
This powerful enhanted sword, crafted by Morrowan priests to honor Ascendant Markus, is both a potent weapon and powerful symbol; the rightful owner of this sword gains a +4 morale bonus to willpower saves and a +2 circumstancial bonus to social Charisma-based checks with Tordoran or Thurian soldiers and nobles. The sword of the Commander of the North Gate shine brilliantly when weilded, shedding light equivalent to the spell Light. Tordoran and Ordic Thurian soldiers that can see this light or the sword itself gain a +2 morale bonus to saves against fear. The morale and circumstancial bonuses conferred are non-magical in nature, but instead reflect the esprit d’corps of the Midfast garrison.

Burrowowl, very cool weapons. They will come in useful in the campaign I’m running. :)
One question, does the morale bonus from the Light effect also work on Thurians?

The idea here is that people raised in the traditions of Ord benefit from the presence of Commander of the North Gate’s sword. A Cygnaran Thurian, even one that has an academic understanding of the position Midfast holds in the hearts of the Ordic people, just wouldn’t “get it.”
