Goldheart
The weapon discarded by Holland the Itinerant on the loss of his arm. It is worn and rusted, but it mighty not for strength, but virtue.
In his many lofty goals in life, Holland failed. He reached places no kin had ever stepped foot and touched many lives abroad, but could never save those things precious to him.
And yet he was undeterred. In defense of his friend he lost his arm, in defense of his lover he lost his life, and in defense of home he lost everything.
Yet when he stood before the end of all things and faced his king and the Grand Ambassador, he didn’t hesitate to speak.
Find love. The rest will follow.

We dance. We fight. We drink. We cry. We scream. We struggle. The world doesn’t care, and it gives nothing back, except for love.
What we do for love comes back to us.
You’d do anything to protect the world you’ve made, even if it means making it a wasteland. You aren’t saving the Realms—just you. You’re leaving the world behind and yourself with it, and I’ll bleed out here knowing I live in the hearts I’ve left behind. My condolences.
What world are you even saving? Do you know? What are you saving? Dark rituals in hidden temples and slaves made from twisting golden hearts?
What about this place do you love?
The only regret I would have in dying is if it is not for love. Will you have regrets, my king?
