Faith Killer

A tale told about a man who dared to deny the existence of the gods. Those of Icewind Dale know the folly of such thoughts as Auril is ever present...

This deceptively mundane looking battle axe has a short but strange history. According to philosophers of magic, Faith Killer was enchanted by the non-belief of its owner, the warrior Erion the Skeptic. A rarity in Faerun, Erion was a man who denied the existence of holy magic and the gods themselves. He was known for his attempts to prove that priests were charlatans and holy magic was, in actuality, a different form of standard magic. Sages believe that Erion's intense opposition to holy men and women actually generated sympathetic magical powers in his weapon.

Priests of Selune in Westgate confiscated the axe when they killed Erion in self-defense. It is currently believed that Er ion is one of the unbelievers used as a building block in Myrkul's Bone Castle.
