The Story of Pandarial

Check required: Knowledge (history) DC 15 The bow known as Luz Solare was created as a point of light in a growing darkness. In the days before the Scarlet War, Pandarial, was granted a vision of time to come, and what he saw chilled his heart: legions of undead, marching across a pastoral land, turning it to wasteland with their every step. When he awoke from his vision, Pandarial set about creating a weapon that could be used to combat the coming darkness.

When the dark days came at last, and Shinn the Sorcerer called forth his Legions of the dead, Pandarial stood beside Carline Bright-Eyes, surrounded by the greatest heroes of their time, and held forth Luz Solare, the Beacon of Light. His arrows lit the battlefield, and kindled fear in the unbeating hearts of those who drew no breath.

Check required: Knowledge (history) DC 20 Slain, at the last, by Nyctophobos, the sword of Simone Delcius, his bow was lost to the forces of Pelor, and Luz Solare disappeared from mortal knowledge, seemingly forever. One thing, however, is known – the bow would never let itself be carried by a foul creature from beyond the grave, for Pandarial had crafted it with a purpose and a great measure of his holy power.
