GROVNAR
Grovnar, the Shining Halberd of
Mysterion, is one
of the most powerful magical weapons ever found. It shimmered with
arcane power, which was able to help its wielder overcome even the most
ferocious of enemies (and also sported quite a few large spikes).
This halberd was one of the most prized possessions of King Mysterion
the Brave when he was a young child, as it used to shine brightly
enough to protect him from the
grue which he thought lived under his
bed. His
father, eager to dismiss such childish fears, used to have the
young prince's nannies crawl under the bed to show that there was no
grue in the room. The king lost eight child minders before he realized
there actually was a grue, and the young prince was moved to a
different room.
During the
Great Monster Uprising, Grovnar, which had found its way in
the hands of the
Grand Wizard, was awarded to an adventurer for
assisting him in the defeat of
Frizzlebits.
