Identification of the Betrayer’s swords reveal them to be a +1 bastard sword and a +1 short sword.
Examination of the King’s sword, Merthύvial, reveal that it is +1 adamantine longsword. When it is unsheathed it glows with the light equal to a torch.
Leera advises that the sword could be much more than it appears. She goes on to explain.
It is said that dwarves forged Merthύvial in the heat of a volcano, its adamantine blade proved devastating against marauding cave trolls and mountain orcs. The weapon was one of many, but it earned distinction when its wielder saved the life of the dwarf king by sundering a stone giant’s weapon and spearing the creature on the point of the sword. The king ennobled the warrior, and the warrior, in turn, presented Merthύvial to his lord in tribute.
(In game terms, this is a Weapon of Legacy. It is not quite an artifact but it is more than a normal magic item. By learning more about the items history and completing rituals, a character can bond with the weapon. This will grant greater benefits and a few drawbacks.
Based upon the information that Leera was able to provide, if someone wants to bond to the weapon, they must complete the ritual of King’s Gift.
You must have the weapon passed onto you willingly by its rightful owner or the owner’s rightful heirs. If no heir live, you must perform an attunement ritual with Merthύvial, marking you as the weapon’s new owner.
The wielder must be any non-evil alignment other than chaotic neutral, have a base attack bonus of at least +3 and two or more ranks in Diplomacy. It will cost 2,500 GP to complete the ritual. The character will receive a bonus feat of Least Legacy (Merthύvial ) This will open up access to the abilities for levels 5-9. If someone is interested, I can supply the rest of the game details. )
A careful search of the room reveals that all of the sarcophagi have been looted. The first three on the south wall contain only bones. The one in the southeast corner is empty and never appears to have had an occupant. Rather than the image of a person, the lid contains a map of an ancient kingdom. This was presumably to symbolize the death of his kingdom. The last, the king’s, is empty
The hole in the floor is currently about 2 ½ feet square. At current size it is only big enough for a small-sized creature to squeeze through. A knotted rope is attached to the king’s sarcophagus and dangles in the hole. The hole opens into a dark tunnel leading deeper ....
