Question about Moon-blades (I am reading in Evermeet), and why Xan had one...

<font color="white">Well, I just read in Evermeet, Island of Elves of the creation of the Moonblades.
How the freak did Xan ever become a holder of one in BG???
That does not make sense.</font>

It's called literary license.

If I recall right moonblades chose their next wieder so maybe on chose him?

<font color="white">I have read some more, and discovered that many were lost in the fall of Myth Drannor, among other reasons. That would explain how he may have come across one, but I thought they only chose good aligned people. Does the novel on BG mention anything about this?</font>

That's exactly what they did. One of them saw Xan in Everska and figured the doom prophet would be a nice guy...

Wow, that's a moonblade with a weird taste in wielders.

No, moonblades are hereditary weapons and need to be wielded by one who is of the bloodline of the sword's original wielder. They can't be "found".

Maybe he was an only son and last of his line?
