Blade of Vertigo (5e Equipment)
Weapon (any sword), legendary (requires attunement) The Blade of Vertigo is a strange crystalline blade created by an obscure goddess supposedly named Vertigo. She will rarely create these blades, but when she does, they are made for a specific ally or servant in order to aid them in a task she has sent them on. Those who manage to otherwise find and use a Blade of Vertigo are said to be contacted by the goddess in person... although the encounters often do not end well.
Cursed Should you attune to the Blade of Vertigo It will extend it's curse onto you. During your next long rest, you will be contacted in your dreams by Vertigo, a humanoid dragon who commands powerful psionic and gravitational magic. Flip a coin, if the result is heads, she will bargain with the user for possession of the blade. The details of the trade are at the DM's discretion, but she will generally expect repayment for the blade given it's power. If the result is tails, she will take the blade from the user and keep it for herself.
