When humans just began to settle the far side of the Moonsea, times were
hard, orcs, goblins, and worse ruled the land. Around 400 yrs ago, in the
small Village of Shinthral (just to the SE of present day Phlan), a group
of Wererats, led by a Devilswine (Mystara MC), were slowly turning all the
villagers to Lycanthropes. When the Wererats infected a nearby Priestess
of Selune's (Moonbright) son, she determined to find a way to stop them.
The method she developed, along with her husband, Roland (ranger of
Mielikki), were the enchanted arrows now known as Arrows of Redemption.
The Village of Shinthral was obliterated when Moander escaped from beneath
Phlan, and overran the entire village.
Appearance: These appear as Normal arrows, but with silvery fletchings
and a silver tip. They glow faintly on nights when the moon can be seen.
Powers: These act as Flight Arrows+1/+4 vs Lycanthropes. Further, when
hit, any Lycanthrope must take its' true form (e.g. Wolf, Man, Boar, Rat,
etc.). Also any infected Lycanthrope hit with one of these has a 25%
chance of being cured. The effects are not culmative, a being hit by 3
arrows has three rolls at 25%, not one at 75%. The way of making these has
been duplicated by other Servants of Selune, but they can only make 1 a
month, on the night of the full moon.
