A Just End to Sorrows

A Just End to Sorrows was forged to be the sword of a great hero in ancient Faerun, and was carried to the city of Mezro in Chult, long ago. He was set aside in a crypt to await the day that his kingdom needed to be saved from a great evil, but after centuries passed, the kingdom crumbled above him, and Just End was forgotten. The crypt was plundered by pirates, and lifetimes later, Just End was discovered by Jasper Thann, an archaeologist, who had become lost in the stronghold of the long-dead thieves. Just End awoke, pulled together a body from discarded armor and fallen stone, and helped Jasper to escape. Since then, the two have traveled together, Jasper teaching Just End modern languages and customs, and Just End using main force to keep Jasper from harm. They are both traveling to Chult, hoping to uncover both the mystery of the Death Curse and the location of the hero, Just End's reason to be.

Just End is a sword, thrust through a chunk of rock, suspended in a body made of rubble and animated armor pieces. When he uses supernatural powers, a blue glow surrounds the sword and shines from chinks in the armor. He has an ear for music, and absorbs songs and local musical styles as he travels. The only things that can draw him away from his quest for the Hero are protecting his friends (or other innocent people) from danger, and the lure of a new song.
