Shadows On The Lake

3 Dot Artifact
Soulsteel Direlance

A Lunar of the First Age sought to make a glorious wedding gift for their mate—a
Moonsilver Direlance that would be the work of years.

But the First Age ended with the death of the Lunar and their Solar Mate both, with the
incomplete weapon sunk to the bottom of a lake, an enduring yet malformed sign of their
love.

In another life, an Abyssal awoke. In the completion of their duties, they were plagued
with visions of a distant lake, lit with moonlight. When at last they traveled to the scene
from their visions, a strange compulsion took them, and they dove to the very bottom.

They rose from the dark, silver-lined depths with the incomplete Direlance. Like this, it
would be of no use to them. But again, they felt compelled.

With the fires of the forge, they melted the Moonsilver down, and alloyed it with
Soulsteel. The ghosts of unrependent murders and vengeful widows were woven into its
form, creating a weapon that could change its form, just as its intended recipient had.
This weapon was Shadows On The Lake, a much belated wedding gift, now an Abyssal
weapon.

Shadows On The Lake is resonant with Lunars and Abyssals. It possesses a single
Hearthstone socket in the center of its amorphous mass.

Someone who is attuned to Shadows On The Lake may use it as though it has the Archery
(Long) tag, and awakens Twilight Bafflement at no cost. It uses arrows as if it were a
bow.
