Stormcaller

The Stormcaller is a bident of unknown origin currently possessed by Sophie d'Arafina. It is a powerful weapon, but no simple item: it acts and thinks. It is crafted from ivory and a strange gold-tinted mithril alloy, the burnished, bladed prongs atop an ivory haft. A brass pommel cap, polished in an attempt to match the gleam of the bladed prongs, covers the bottom, and leather straps act as grips.

At one time it was wielded by Sophie's father, Alfred. During this period, it had several pieces that would then be lost - two grips and a cap - before the Bident would pass to Sophie. Since then, she has regained one of the grips, greatly increasing the power of the Stormcaller. The others pieces remain lost.

It has displayed various independent abilities and motivations. The Stormcaller has resisted – often violently - attempts by the Auric Lodge other than Sophie to interact with it. When Sophie fled from a chance to prevent a bomb destroying a significant portion of Baldant, leading to a catastrophic death toll, it reacted with anguish, challenging Sophie for her actions with dreams, and berating her for her petulance and self-indulgent flagellation.
