Forged in the forgotten era of the Shadow Wars, the Soulbound Blade was the creation of a desperate necromancer seeking to harness the ethereal essence of fallen warriors. It was said that with each life it claimed, a fragment of the victim's soul became entwined with the blade, forever fueling its dark power. Its wielder was destined for immense strength, but at the cost of hearing the whispers of countless tormented spirits, slowly driving them to madness. Many great heroes attempted to wield it, only to fall prey to its insidious influence, becoming nothing more than puppets for the blade's insatiable hunger.
