Item from baldurs-gate-3 by Larian Studios
A githyanki weapon forged to sever astral silver cords — the weapon Lae'zel has been trained since birth to earn, representing everything her culture values and everything she must question.
Silver Swords are the pinnacle of githyanki weaponry, wielded only by the most elite warriors — knights who have proven themselves in Vlaakith's endless wars. They can sever the astral cords that connect travelers to their physical bodies, killing them instantly on the Astral Plane. In the material world, they're simply excellent greatswords with psychic damage. For Lae'zel, a Silver Sword represents validation — proof that she's worthy of her culture's highest honor. The fact that she can potentially acquire one during the game is complicated by her growing realization that the culture bestowing the honor may not deserve her loyalty. The sword is a symbol that changes meaning as Lae'zel changes: from aspiration, to entitlement, to a weapon she chooses to wield on her own terms.
