Anyone remember the Hammer of Tyr from the Pools of Radiance novel? I have to say that it was perhaps the most potent undead turning weapon I have ever witnessed. What happened to it? Considering Tyr's demise , I wonder if this artifact still holds its potency... |

Midnight-Mystra also enchanted a blade by letting her blood run along it, and then gave it to a Kara-Tur (I think) diplomat when Adon was sick in the fourth Avatar book. |

It was a sword she gave to one of her high priests. My memory's hazy though. I kinda endeavored to forget that very disappointing series. |

Some deities create artifacts using their own "essence," as evidenced by Mystra during the Time of Troubles.
What were the artifacts? I recall her infusing Chosen but no items.... |

The 3rd novel in the Pools trilogy has updates on the Hammer of Tyr, if you're interested in learning more about it! Won't spoil it tho. |
