Azureedge

This unique +5 throwing wounding battleaxe is forged of an alloy of silver and steel, with runes of power along the blade, a handle of solid steel wrapped in blue dragonskin, and a star sapphire in the pommel. The edges of the axe blade shimmer with a faint blue glow (shedding light equal to a candle). This illumination automatically brightens (to the equivalent of a torch) when the axe is within 60 feet of an outsider or a creature of the evil subtype; the weilder may also command the weapon to brighten in this manner. It acts as a disruption weapon when defending the city of Waterdeep. Its magical properties are protected by ''Nystul's undetectable aura, and Khelben the Blackstaff is said to scry on the bearer from time to time to make sure he or she is not acting contrary to the interests of the Lords of Waterdeep.

The axe is intelligent (Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 10), neutral good, and considers itself female. It can communicate telepathically or speak Commmon or Chondathan, although it rarely speaks. Ahghairon of Waterdeep created it. Much of its personality comes from a portion of the soul of Lady Lauron, former warlord of that city, who was mortally wounded while defending teh city and asked the wizard to ensure that she would always be able to aid the defense of Waterdeep. The axe remembers its origin but does not have the memories of the woman that granted it its spirit.
