Spider's Bane Lore

Spider's Bane was originally forged by the dwarves of the Orothiar tribe in Cloakwood.  They created the blade to help foster good will between them and the Grand Dukes of Baldur's Gate.  Wielded by the Grand Dukes for about a century, the sword was eventually lost, ironically in a fight against ettercaps and spiders.  Who wields the blade is now unknown, but its recovery would aid greatly in fighting the current spider infestation that plagues the Cloakwood.
