Solomon’s Black Iron Blade

Weapon (sword), legendary (requires attunement)

The soul of a knight is trapped within the blade.

After helping send a devil back to hell, the knight was abducted by a cult. The cult intended to use his soul to power a ritual that would bring their master back. But something interfered with the ritual, and the knight was able to attach his consciousness to his sword instead. The cult decided to destroy the blade once they realized what had happened, but it had vanished from their hideout.
