 Reforged Eclipse
The dark artifacts of temuair is a continuation of the Eingren Manor quest and yeilds a very rare artifact that very few possess. This is one of those: The Eclipse.
To start the eclipse quest you must have your  Demon Lord's Notes inside your inventory at all times and wander the world of temuair. The initial pop-up is random and there has only been one sighting of the  eclipse fragment across temuair to this date (I will update this when there are others). The fragment has been located by Gladiator Ashuren on the Cthonic Remains area 9. Once you find the fragment, bring it to the  Soumi Bladesmith and have him repair it for you. It takes a double-moon to have him work on it so you have to wait a week.

Hello. What can I do for you?
I have sent Pater, my new apprentice to the Library to fetch a tome. I will know more about your blade soon.

Now you wait the double-moon / week. Once you return...

Hello. What can I do for you?
Oh! There you are. I have been waiting for you to return.
Here is your blade back. Keep it very safe, and don't try to use it in combat. It is far too weak to be used now. Its edge in untempered, it will dull from the slightest stroke.

You have recieved the Brittle Blade.

Brace yourself, sir/ma'am, for what I have learned about your discovery may go beyond your belief. Even I could not believe it at first. What you have here is the great sword weiled by Lord Tenes himself! It was with this blade that he was able to take the power that he had.
I have spent many hours learning of the tepic battles of ancient Temuair. When Temuair was at war with itself. Being an old warrior, I have always been fascinated by the use of tactics and strategy back then. This blade is proof that the legend of the eclipse at Dooreymagh is true!
At the battle of Dooreymagh, one of the earliest engagements, Tenes faced Ainmeal in a pitched battle at the noonday. The sun burned brightly in the sky. Tenes was in a poor situation.. He had already lost his first battle against the forces of Ainmeal, and his allies were lethargic in supporting him.
His army stood alone against Ainmeal that day. Twelve-hundred veterans of Tenes. Ainmeal fielded nearly twice that. By any reasoning, there should have been no way for Tenes to survive the fight. Dooreymagh is an open field, with no defensible positions. But Tenes, in his confidence and vanity refused to parley, forcing Ainmeal to advance.
As Ainmeal's forces marched upon their outnumbered foe, Tenes raised his sword and the sky began to darken. Using his sword, this sword, Tenes knelt upon the ground and forced the moon to eclipse the sun. This is the only record of the use of this sword that I could find. In the darkness of the battle, Ainmeal's troops were forced to retreat. That gave Tenes the time he needed to gather his allies and push on at a later date. It was this sword that allowed Tenes to stave off defeat, and named that field the Dooreymagh.
With this sword, Tenes was able to advance at his will. Ainmeal could not counter it. Though the grace of Danaan surely allowed Ainmeal to see his enemy, his men could not fight in the darkness. He was forced into a fighting retreat. Tenes would have destroyed Ainmeal if he had not lost this sword.
How Tenes lost the Eclipse is unclear. There is a story of a great push by a band of adventurers during one of the battles, where the sword was struck from the hand of Tenes by a selfless hero.
A handbook uncovered in a secret chamber has a passage that might describe how an agent of Ainmeal stole the sword from its sheath and presented it to the young lord.
Regardless of how the sword was lost, the legend is that the sword of Tenes was thrown into Chaos, where it was consumed by the lava and destroyed.

The sword was called Eclipse. You now hold a brittle fragment of Eclipse in your hand.

Its power is drained, but it remains. Surely even you can notice the faint warmth that the fragment carries? Yes, I thought so.
I can not repair the blade on my forge. Eclipse resists the flame of my forge and the blows of my hammer. I shall have to have a new forge made that can withstand greater flames.
Pater, my newest apprentice, is the one you should thank for doing the research on this weapon at the Loures Library.
He assures me that the blade is mendable, though it will not mold to steel or hy-brasyl. Only the darkest mineral will bond to Eclipse.
It will take many hours of work to temper this blade. I will need wood from the heart of the Trent trees, for it burns hotter than anything I know. I will also need Talgonite, polished to a keen finish.
Bring me these things in gross, and I will reforge this blade for you.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Hurry and bring the trent roots and talgonite. I am anxious to start working on the blade!

Bring 30 Trent roots and 100 Finished Talgonite to the smith and check back on him in one double-moon (one week).
When you speak to him next, he will transport you behind the counter and bade you to enter the dungeon. Inside you will see Pater speaking to a chest. Pater has your eclipse and it is up to you to defeat him.
During your first fight,  Pater will have between 130,000-350,000 health, elemental defense and offense, and very high armor class. Formerly, if you were grouped, you could not be killed by him. This was fixed at an unknown time, and you now have to defeat him legitimately on your own. After you defeat him, he tells you that you now know his true form and turns into a  Demon. This time he has between 500,000 to 750,000 health and the same heavy armor class. Defeat him and enjoy a nice spectacle of him blowing up.
Pater: Arrrgh! Noooo!!
