Phalar Aluve

Phalar Aluve is a rare +1 Longsword that can be made to  Sing or  Shriek, granting nearby allies or enemies a bonus to Attack Rolls or damage rolls, depending on the choice.

The Drow inscription on this blade appears to have been recently carved. It translates to;

“

'Though I have to leave you, I will dance forever in Eilistraee's Light.'

Notes

• The sword can be freed in these ways:
  • Passing a  DC 15 Strength Check to yank it from the stone.
  • Passing a  DC 15 Religion Check to learn how to release the magic holding it in place. Clerics of Lolth have advantage on this check.
  • Paladins can pass a  DC 10 Religion Check (with  Advantage) to consider what the appropriate ritual for releasing the sword is. If successful, they can perform the ritual or use their oath to prove their worth ( DC 10 Charisma Check).
  • Clerics of  Eilistraee can release the sword without needing an ability check.
  • Spilling blood on the sword outside dialogue also releases it. It is possible to make one party member hit another, or perform a  Blood Sacrifice if a party member has the  Ritual Dagger, to cover the sword in a  Blood surface. It is also possible throw a dead body on the sword. This will make it light up, so it can be pulled out without any ability check.
• Longswords do not normally have the  Finesse property; Phalar Aluve is special in this regard. The only other example is  Larethian's Wrath.
• Phalar Aluve is Drow language. Phalar means 'battle-marker' or 'grave', and Aluve means 'I/we leave you'.
• Obtaining the sword grants the inspiration ⁠Last Rites of the Dark Dancer for party members with the  Acolyte background, unless the sword was obtained through the dialogue option of a paladin using the strength of their oath.
• Although it has a distinctive appearance during the cutscene for its retrieval, when equipped this sword has an appearance similar to that of a  Longsword +1, save for its blade, hilt and pommel, which are gold instead of polished steel.
