Legolas think about this for a second, if you never read the history of the Drow, you should, very good reading and gives you insight about what happened in the Underdark, I mean think about it, there is a what 4 races in the Underdark, one is druegers, mindflayers, the dreaded Drow, and the other race, the miners. ok now, we all know that the other swords in the game are very good, and are used against certain npc's, but how does the sentients of the underdark combat against say the drow or the mindflayers.
Back when the wars in the elvin cities and the drow cities cause a cataclismic event to happen and the world shook to fill the holes and the Underdak was create. Many things had to to place and happen. Races had to fight races. Many had to combat each other just to keep a foot hold.
One race of miners, having to deal with the hardships of the drow and the Illitids had to find a way to combat the forces closing in on them. They had a fierce warrior spirit, some content to be miners but others feeling the pull to defend what little they had. One such warrior was not like the rest of his breathren. Almost as tall as a human but still one of his people, asked that a very special sword be made to help combat the mind flayers and help fight the drow.
A mage, more powerful then was known, stepped for and asked that a special sword be forged so that the mage could enchant it. But so powerful as the enchantment that it drained the mage. To the point where the mage had no power left over and never will regain it.
The warrior accepting the sword forged for him and in great gratitude to the mage for what he did, set out to use it respectfully and with honour to the mage. For the sword was forged in secret and for battle only when needed, was not used but only to defend the homes of the miners, when the drow came calling, the use of the sword was used but sparingly. But, there still was the presence of the Illithids in the underdark, the sword was then taken up for honour and to defend the home. For it was known that the mind flayers were quick in to drain the mind of an opponent. But, the sword that the mage sacrificed power to defend was unsheathed and brought to bear. Although, the mind flayers would attack with regular damage to the warrior, still nothing was done to his mind, held fast by the sword, the warrior did not stop untill the mind flayer that came to call was destoyed, then the sword was put back to rest.
Although the warrior was good against the mind flayers, still he could not live forever. The mind flayers having learned a lesson about the sword backed off. Still the sword might be used, only for defence and honour against the mind flayers. For time takes its tole on everyone, and the warrior felt the effects, the sword was layed to rest. How it came to be out of the Underdark, is unknown.
