Anyone know if this sword is in the game? (spoiler?)

Clua = Sw1h37

Taragarth the Bloodbrand, Bastard Sword +1
Dungeon-delving Lehorgan was lucky indeed to discover this Halruaan blade in the ruins of the ancient sorcerer Kullon's haunt, for it would save his life that very day. The ghost of Kullon himself attacked the intruder, but the flames that followed only singed, absorbed into the glowing Bloodbrand. Concealing himself, Lehorgan watched in amazement as the ancient sorcerer tried to divine his location and again the sword protected him. Surviving this brush with death, the young man used this second chance and the gold from selling the blade to, as he put it, "get the hell out of adventuring."

I cant say ive ever ran across this, for some reason i suspect that it was meant to be put in place of one of the "Sword of flame +1"'s that are in the adventurers mart and the copper cornet from bernard, i really think this item would be nice if placed in the store with him after freeing hendark (assuming it works correctly).

It has its own custom bam's and crap, but i cant say ive ever seen this, it MAY be in a store or somehting i dont usually check, but if anyone is positive of its location id like to know.

No, it's one of several items that -though existent in the game code- do not appear in the game. I think the Unfinished Buisiness Mod restores some of these items.

ill check out ust natha tomorrow, i really woulda thought id remember if i saw this though, one of the things i ***** about is the lack of bastard swords in SoA, and if this one's in the underdark too then thats... well dumb.

Blade of searing, jhor the bleeder... and now that? damn thats dumb.

If it isnt in there ill add that item into one of the storekeeps, provided it all works correctly.

Yes, it is one of the items we have restored for the Unfinished Business mod: http://www.icelus.net/ub

The mod we've been looking for?

Thank you! I think UB may be the mod we've all been looking for. Anyone who's played this game a few times recognizes all the many inconsistencies, incomplete quests, undeveloped NPCs and other loose ends. I've just downloaded it and look forward to implementing it. While I've enjoyed and appreciated many of the other mods out there I think this may be the one we've wanted all along.
