Arc Asunder
The history of this weapon is obscure, though all examples of the type seem to originate in the great wastes of the Anauroch desert, where vast storms of wind and sand charge the air with energy. Perhaps the smith who created these polearms wished them to be as formidable as that Great Sand Sea itself.

Cruel Halberd
This halberd, permanently stained with the blood of its victims, was wielded by several generations of orc warlords, all who either took it up when the previous owner died in battle or was murdered by a rival. The halberd was lost in the final battle when the orcs were finally driven out of Illusk.

Darksteel Halberd
Darksteel is silvery in hue when polished or cut, but its exposed surfaces have a deep, gleaming purple luster.

Dragon's Breath
"...a flood from the creature's black heart, and we dipped the weapons of victory, sanctified as custom demanded. Blessed they were, by the beast and by fate, as power took hold in the steel that felled her." Thus reads a journal excerpt of Captain Jeremiah Vale penned in the Year of the Dracorage, 1018 DR. Strangely, the creature described does not match a commonly known draconic variant, nor does it explain why the weapons involved would be altered so dramatically by exposure to its blood.

Water's Edge
These formidable weapons shimmer slightly at the blade, but are quite solid if tested. Not many adventurers wish to test them thoroughly, however, as they were apparently designed specifically to combat elementals. The sect that created these halberds refer to themselves as "Purists Against the Pure," claiming that nothing is more unnatural than the manifestation of a single natural element. They seek to destroy such "unbalanced" creatures, though their own weapons seem similarly uniform.
