Dragonspine

Weapon (Maul), Legendary (Requires Attunement by a Barbarian or Fighter)

Forged from the spine of a slain Red Dragon and reinforced with steel, Dragonspine emanates heat and power. Its draconic origin imbues it with fiery might, making it a fearsome weapon in the hands of a warrior.

Weapon Properties

• Damage: 2d6 bludgeoning + 1d6 fire damage.
• Weight: Heavy, Two-Handed.
• Special Ability: Flames of Fury
  • Once per short rest, the wielder can unleash a cone of fire (15 feet) as part of an attack. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 fire damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.
• Heat Aura:
  • While wielding Dragonspine, the wielder is surrounded by an aura of warmth. Friendly creatures within 10 feet gain resistance to cold damage.
• Draconic Resilience:
  • The wielder has advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

Flavor and Lore

• Appearance: Dragonspine features a massive vertebra from a Red Dragon at its core, encased in darkened steel. Runes carved into the bone glow faintly with red light, pulsing in rhythm with the wielder’s strikes.
• Origin: Claimed by Alcaster the Sentinel during a decisive battle against Agathania’s draconic armies, Dragonspine symbolizes the clan’s resilience and triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds.
• Quirk: When held, the weapon emits a low, resonant hum that grows louder in the presence of dragons or draconic creatures.

Attunement Effects

• The weapon bonds deeply with its wielder, enhancing their combat abilities.
• While attuned, the wielder gains:
  • +2 to attack and damage rolls made with this weapon.
  • Immunity to fire damage.

Dragonspine is a symbol of both victory and defiance, a legendary artifact that channels the fiery spirit of the dragon it was forged from.
