Been wanting to drop this one in somewhere, remembered it after watching the movie that had originally inspired it...
Pytor's Blade: A blunted ceremonial blade bearing the motto "mors mihi ultimus vivendi casus", the blade is found in a Sylvan glen protected by a group of pixies sworn to the cause atop a grave. The tombstone is in the shape of an elfin-looking child dressed in rags standing atop a crocodile, smiling and holding a table clock with a hook dangling off of the clock's handle.
The blade can only be taken by a child or one whose innocence is unquestioned (Vow of Chastity or proof of chastity). In the hand of a child the weapon imparts some of the knowledge and traits of its carrier, a powerful Knight of Spring who protected children who found themselves in the Feywild. The crypt itself holds the body of the Knight, perfectly preserved at the age of 13, and protected by powerful wards that will change any who attempt to defile the grave.
The blade itself is a +1 Merciful Short Sword that allows the wearer to fly at their base land speed (good maneuverability) as long as they may maintain concentration upon a happy thought. The weapon is able to change into any metal besides cold iron, and cannot be used to harm fey. The item is blunted and treated as a bludgeoning weapon unless it is called to action.
Any creature who has harmed a child or taken innocence unwillingly calls to the sword's true nature. The Sword is blessed by the Lady of Spring and the Goddess of the Hearth. The sword can call forth 1d3+1 of the Lost Children, the remains of Pytor's child soldiers in the battle. Treat these creatures as small-sized Crypt Wardens who carry Simple Weapons. Each is dressed in rags like their leader, and will serve no other purpose than to defeat the threat at hand.
The blade also changes in the hands of the wielder, taking on aspects of a blade affected by the Holy Sword spell. Due to its unique blessing a Vow of Peace is not broken when Pytor's Sword is wielded against a creature who has broken the Vow.
