Deathbringer, Bane of the Violet Kings

Deathbringer, Bane of the Violet Kings is a magical greatsword wielded by the Drow gunslinger Alton Elenaur. It is unclear whether the name was given to the blade by Alton, or he was told it when he first received the weapon from the Eskaryan Expedition.

Appearance
A long blade of the darkest steel, with blackened grip to match, Deathbringer is a clearly unique piece. A ball of obsidian is embedded in the hilt, whilst several amethysts decorate the crossguard at the centre of which is a skull whose eyes glow with violet hues.

History
Despite appearing to be a perfectly normal magical weapon, Alton suspected the blade to be cursed to ensure it's wielder's untimely demise. On multiple occasions, Alton has been unable to use the weapon against his foes and ended up worse for trying.
