Mythcarver

A legendary longsword with a silvered blade, the Mythcarver resonates with musical tones. It once belonged to the White Duke and many master bards before him. It is one of the mystical artifacts known as the Vestiges of the Divergence.

Before the White Duke died, he gifted the Mythcarver to Kamaljiori, who in turn awarded it to Vox Machina to aid in their fight against the Chroma Conclave. Possession of the Mythcarver passed to Scanlan Shorthalt.

While fighting a pit fiend named Ghurrix in the City of Brass, Scanlan managed to bring the sword to its full power by remembering and acting on his promise to Kaylie that he would stay alive. The glowing blade granted him four consecutive attacks with advantage, thanks to his Cutting Words, with which he slew the fiend.
