Red Eagle: A magic sword

This sword has a blade of a red-gold color, styled to resemble a bird’s wing. The guard also resembles bird wings, outstretched. The pommel bears a single ruby. Inscribed in elvish on one side is Narwa, on the other Soron, meaning Red Eagle.

The Red Eagle was the sword of a renowned Elvish General Navarlas, called Birdfriend, who fought the Blood Wars against the orcs, and helped to break the Orcish horde invading the Deepening Wood, two elvish generations ago.

After Navarlas passed to the Feywild, the sword was given to the Rangers of Rove Water to aid in their protection of the forest across the Poordirt river. Albin, the last of the Rove Water rangers, was the previous owner.

The Inscription

Mechanics: Magical longsword, +1 to hit and damage. If the inscription is pronounced in elvish (Narwa Soron), it will cast the spell feather fall. Pointing the blade and saying Narwa (Red) will cause red dancing lights to appear where the sword is pointed, 30 feet away. Pronouncing Soron (Eagle) alone will cause a minor illusion of an eagles cry, very loud and distracting, from a direction wherever the sword is pointed, 30 feet away. All these spells are cast as bonus actions.
