History Įach moonblade was tied to the elven bloodline that first claimed the blade and was passed from descendant to descendant until there were no more worthy heirs. In addition to their unique abilities, some moonblades were capable of summoning an elfshadow. Each moonblade was unique, as were the powers given to them. However, the wielder could not be separated from the sword for any length of time and expect to live. Abilities Įach wielder contributed a power to the sword, which would be absorbed through the moonstone in the blade's pommel. According to Ethlando, the mage responsible for conception and creation of the largest collection of moonblades, the other elves, such as sylvan elves and sun elves were not prohibited from claiming a blade, it was just highly unlikely.
Moonblades were named in part because of the moonstones found in the pommel of each sword but also for the moon elves that wielded them, with the only exception of the half-elf assassin, Arilyn Moonblade.
