It is currently guarded by that country's church, since it defies any attempt at destruction. Some feel that is just biding its time until it can find someone as evil and blooodthirsty as it is to wield it.Takeshi's Fury (a thundering, shocking kama once wielded by a powerful warlord, then guarded by the monks of the Temple of Thunder and Lightning after his death) was carried by one of my player's monks for a while. Unfortunatly, he was much better with his fists than with weapons, so it never saw much use.The same player, whose monk turned out not to be terribly good with his fists, either, is now playing a bard, and recently received as a gift the holy rapier, White Thorn. The blade is a gift from his patron, the goddess of beauty and pleasure, and is meant to aid in his fight against the forces of the god of chaos.The longbow, Defender of Arios, is a family heirloom that now belongs to one of my players' former character. Her great-grandfather used the bow to great success when he rallied his troops and broke a siege on his city that was laid by an orcish army.The Oakenblade is another family heirloom carried by one of my other players' current character. She recently discovered just how powerful the sword can be when she unexpectedly disintegrated a dark druid who followed the god of chaos. The sword apparently doesn't like followers of that particular god <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
