Phalar Aluve

File:Longsword PlusOne Icon.png

Phalar Aluve is a rare, lightly enchanted (+1) special variant of the Longswords family of weapons. It is a martial melee weapon that can be wielded in one hand, or with both hands for extra damage. As a finesse weapon, it can benefit from the wielder's Dexterity and not just their Strength.

The drow inscription on this blade appears to have been recently carved. It translates to: 'Though I have to leave you, I will dance forever in Eilistraee's Light.'
