Rinthikekt, having little need of such a weapon herself, granted use of it to the champion of her armies, who wielded it bravely in the war against the death god's undead, demons and shadar-kai. After a particular failure, the champion was stripped Heartdrinker by Rinthikekt as punishment. The man worked for years to regain his honor, and was able to do so in one of the final victorious battles against the death god's forces. He was not, however, forgiven completely or granted again the use of the weapon, and he spent the rest of his life in shame.After several hundred years, Rinthikekt again began building her forces, and took the weapon from storage as a gift to her new favorite commander. The internal strife of the serpent's underlings, however, has caused many deaths and many changing-of-hands of the storied battleaxe. Even now, one subordinate of Rinthikekt seeks to 'relieve' another agent of Heardrinker in hopes of improving his own standing with the self-proclaimed goddess of secrets, trickery and lies.~</blockquote>
