A long forgotten stain upon history, The Spirit of the Night is a enigmatic being from Shadowfell who long ago reigned terror upon this plane. Though millennia ago anything related to it was obliterated, can a legacy of shadow ever be erased?

## Blade of The Night
###### *melee weapon (Longsword), rare (requires attunement)*

**Damage:** 1d8  
**Damage Type:** Slashing  
**Modifiers:** Melee Attacks +1, Melee Damage +1  
**Properties:** Finesse, Versatile  
**Secondary Damage:** 1d10  
**Weight:** 0

A sword that is completely black from point to hilt. It looks as though it is made of pure shadow rather than metal and by consequence is virtually weightless.  
**Breath of Night.** You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made
with this magic weapon. In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, you are able to move noiselessly and if you end your turn without moving or taking any action in dim light or darkness, you become invisible until you move, take an action or a reaction.  
**Nightcall.** This weapon seeks to reclaim its lost power and guides its wielder to unlock that power.
