Seedling

Seedling, the Wayward Pilgrim is a magical shortsword wielded by Orym. It was created from his personal, mundane sword by Serataani, through her statue at Zha'Vrollo. Seedling allows the wielder to cast Grasping Vine and create a slashing gust of wind at targets within 15 feet.

Description
The base mundane shortsword was well made and had a green-tinged blade. In the official portraits for Exandria Unlimited and Campaign 3, it is depicted with an ivy motif against a green background along its fuller and pommel and a hilt wrapped in dark green leather. When the sword was made magical, the blade looked the same, but ivy grew from the hilt to form a hand guard.

When Orym is holding the sword, vines and ivy grow up his forearm to keep the sword in place.

As a magical sword, Seedling allows its wielder to cast the spell Grasping Vine, with a DC of 14. The sword can create gusts of slashing wind at targets within 15 feet of the wielder.

History
The shortsword was made in Zephrah. Orym received it from Will, his late husband. It was a sentimental object to Orym, and he was disinterested in letting go of it.

After Chetney Pock O'Pea's trial at Zha'Vrollo, Orym recognized a faint scent of Will from the central statue of Serataani and noticed vines growing out of the empty scabbard she held to her chest. When he placed his shortsword into the scabbard, vines and ivy rapidly grew around the hilt, and a green light glowed from within the scabbard. He easily drew the sword after the light faded. The blade was not visibly changed, but ivy grew to form a hand guard. This blessing also granted the shortsword magical properties.

Shortly after, Orym excitedly showed the sword to Chetney and told him that he named it: Seedling, the Wayward Pilgrim. He chose this name because he felt it was meaningful to himself, to Will, and to the blessing Serataani bestowed. Chetney felt that it was a good name.
