The Shadovar's darkswords. Cut through virtually anything as if it's mere cloth.
I liked those, too. They struck me as being a Shady version of Moonblades, insofar as their enchantments grow more powerful over years of use by different owners. Haven't seen any stats, but I'd suspect they started off as swords of sharpness that let the wielder see in the dark. I doubt they're sentient (would've been mentioned in the novels, I think). |

| There's always of course any captured (or purchased) Githyanki/Githzerai silver swords which might have been brought into the Realms. Not to mention any other extra-planar weapons brought in by spelljammer, fiend, celestial, or traveller. |

Part of what makes it interesting is that it can be used for divination and some sort of spell-extension or augmentation. Melegaunt used it to divine the day when he and Galaeron were in the Plane of Shadow and he also utilized it to create a temporary bridge in the Dire Wood. |

The Crescent Blade (WotSQ and the Lady Penitent trilogy). It was a holy artifact of Eilistraee.
Edit: Burnblood (WotSQ and Empyrean Odyseey), a spellblade used by the cambion Kaanyr Vhok. |

to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

| A Look through the 2E 'god books' will give you a treasure trove of deific weapons. Aside from that, I just thought of Redethemar, the Axe of House Durothil (EoE, IIRC); and Azureedge, the Axe of Waterdeep. Also the Cormyrean blades of state. If noone looks them up before I get to my books, I will do so later tonight. |

Dragonbait had Hillcleaver. I don't recall Alias having a named weapon. |

Really? 
Now picture Alias in her armor...  |

Yeah, that armor certainly holds some powerful enchantments. I could think up a few interesting names for it.
Longsword +3, eh?
I was more intrigued by Hillcleaver's weirdly imbalanced-looking shape (heavy barbed tip) than with it's magical properties. I suppose it's probably some kind of Holy Sword. I recall some mention somewhere about saurial blades all being different from "normal" ones, basically equal but requiring slightly different skill to properly wield. |
