Ancient sketch of the Chaos Weapon Grord, drawn from the Liber Chaotica by Richter Kless, later declared insane.
Grord is a ancient Chaos Weapon in the form of a sword imbued with the ability to sap and demoralise the will of magic-users.[1a]
History[]
Holtz Tellerman, a wizard of the Amber College, was part of a company of troops under the Elector Count of Middenheim who ambushed and destroyed a warband that had been systematically laying waste to a series of hamlets in the east of the province of Middenland. Tellerman noted in his journal that the leader of the warband carried a sword tipped with runes and arcane symbols which radiated a mind-numbing menace and which sapped his magical power even after its wielder was killed.[1a]
None of the foresters complained of a similar feeling and so Tellerman theorised that the weapon solely targeted those who tapped the world's magical energies. Before he disappeared he noted in his journal that he sent back to his college for aid in destroying the weapon, though there is no mention of such, or indeed any further mention of Holtz Tellerman, in the records of the Amber College...[1a]
Chaos Weapon Property[]
The Grord has the special Chaos Weapon property known as Magic Destroyer. When this rune-encrusted obsidian weapon successfully strikes a target who can wield magic and wounds them, the victim must have significant willpower or their magical ability will be reduced a small amount for one to ten hours. Multiple attacks are cumulative in their effect.[2a]
