Xil'trith's Madness
Dagger
As students, Xil'trith and his longtime rival Tal'ros always found themselves amidst bitter competition between one another. Both began primary education under a powerful wizard named Jestriltoros III at the Academy of Arcane Studies in Silverymoon. As fate would have it, Tal'ros excelled far quicker and proved to be far more adept with the weave than Xil'trith would ever be. As the days passed, Xil'trith's hot-tempered and barely restrained frustration began to course through his body. His prayers began to drift to the most unwholesome places to compensate for his lack of ability elsewheres.
Anger continued to brew until Xil'trith's rampant obsession and prayer to Cyric would get the best of him. Sneaking into Tal'ros's sleeping chambers in the calm and quiet of the night, one quick slice was all that was needed.
While still craven and energized by his pursuit for a final solution to a sour rivalry, he called out to Cyric to bind the soul of Tal'ros to the bloodied murder weapon in an attempt to destroy Tal'ros not only in life, but in death as well. Cyric answered, as usual, with a catch. The tormented soul of Tal'ros imbued within the dagger often spouts bitter, hate-filled diatribe to the carrier, driving nearly anyone, even of sound mind insane. The dagger radiates with the perpetual bitterness and contempt of a life cut short.
