Weapon (greatsword), legendary (requires attunement)

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit with an attack using this magic sword, the target takes an extra 1d6 cold damage. In addition, while you hold the sword, you have resistance to fire damage. In freezing temperatures, the blade sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.

Blessing of the Dragonkin. If you do not have the blessing of the dragon whose breath froze this blade, you have disadvantage on initiative rolls while wielding this weapon. At the end of any encounter using this weapon without the blessing, you suffer a point of exhaustion as the weight and cold overwhelm you. If you have the blessing, you instead gain the following features:

Giant’s Blood, Dragon’s Hide. Your Strength score increases by 4 to a maximum of 24. Your Constitution score increases by 2, and you are immune to cold damage.

Frozen Cleave. As an action, you can cast Wall of Ice at 6th level without the need for material components or maintaining concentration. Once this feature has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

“The Legacy in Frost,” this sword was a simple shortsword forged for a demigod hero from The North. The Hero happened upon a dragon hatchling, and as the dragon grew, they became inseparable battle companions. Fighting back the giants of the elemental planes ravaging the land, The Dragon breathed its frigid breath upon the blade, infusing it with magical ice. The Hero proudly wielded the sword in battle, but eventually fell. The sword, now a legend in its own right, was passed down to The Hero’s descendant. They, and every hero to inherit the sword after, would make a pilgrimage to The Dragon’s lair. The immortal dragon would bless the sword and wielder with its magical frost for generations. Now, what was once a simple weapon is a massive greatsword, infused with ice as unbreakable as the bond between The Hero and his loyal companion. The sword’s name is etched in dwarven runes at the base of the hilt, and the draconic runes along the guard read “Legacy of two, joined in one.”
