Lore
The skyblades are a rare and coveted type of magic sword, forged by the skyforgers, a secretive clan of aarakocra smiths. The skyforgers live in the highest peaks of the world, where they collect rare metals and gems from the clouds and the stars. They use their innate magic and their mastery of the wind to shape and enchant their weapons, imbuing them with the power of flight.
The skyblades are made from a special alloy of mithral and silver, which makes them light and strong. The wings are crafted from thin sheets of metal, shaped and curved to resemble feathers. The blades are infused with powdered sapphires and diamonds, which sparkle in the sunlight and enhance their magic.The skyblades are designed to be used by the skyforgers themselves, who value mobility and agility in combat. They use their swords to fly and strike from unexpected angles, confusing and overwhelming their enemies. The skyblades are also useful for scouting and exploration, as they can reach places that are otherwise inaccessible.
The skyblades are very rare, as the skyforgers do not share their secrets with anyone. They only make a few swords every year, and they protect them fiercely. They do not sell or trade their swords, but sometimes they gift them to those who earn their trust and respect. The skyblades are considered a great honor and a sign of friendship among the skyforgers.
The skyblades are also sought after by collectors and adventurers, who admire their beauty and power. Many have tried to replicate the swords, but none have succeeded.
