Z'Daria Nix
Z'Daria Nix
Also known as Zydaria.
Obold's magical halberd, received from Baphomet in exchange for the Book of Iuz in session 005 01-19-2025.
The weapon is sentient — her soul, that of a former drow high priestess of Lolth, was bound into the halberd by Lolth as punishment for refusing to end a forbidden relationship. She would have preferred a saber.
Note: a separate entry also exists at campaign/npcs/Z'Daria Nix.md — this may represent a spirit or entity bound to the weapon.
