Not to be confused with Voss' Silver Sword
The Silver Sword of the Astral Plane is a legendary +3 Greatsword which grants its wielder the 
Soulbreaker weapon action and provides special bonuses when wielded by a githyanki.
The fervour with which the githyanki express devotion to their queen is admirable to some, disquieting to others. When confronted with the fallibility of the divine (since no one is wholly perfect), who knows what reactions such folk might evince.

Orphic Hammer to (or killing) 
Kith'rak Voss after agreeing to meet him in the sewers within the Undercity in Act Three
Notes
- The githyanki-exclusive bonuses can also be enabled by being
disguised as one. However, the wielder must be disguised before equipping the weapon for this to work. - This sword may also be obtained in Act One, by disarming Voss via
Command (Drop), 
Heat Metal, 
Fear, 
Disarming Attack (Ranged), 
Honeyed Paws, or 
Dirty Trick: Flick o' the Wrist before entering the Mountain Pass X: -139 Y: 561.
- Voss must be disarmed before beginning the encounter, as he immediately flies away when any hostile action is taken by the party or its allies, and he will lock party members into dialogue when approaching close enough.
- Due to his high stats, the chance of failing the disarm attempt against him is very high, so this method may require multiple reloads or extensive preparation. See: Guide: Early Silver Sword.
- Using Honeyed Paws while having a divination wizard with a 15 or higher
portent die nearby guarantees that he drops his weapon. It is possible to long rest until getting 15 or higher and then make the bear invisible. After placing a 
Potion of Invisibility on the ground, the bear companion can drink it and then approach Voss. - Sometimes, Voss appears with a Githyanki Crossbow instead of the sword or, when dropped, it simply phases out of existence. The triggers for these anomalies are not known. If Voss appears with a crossbow instead of the sword, the Guide explains how to obtain it.
- If obtained in Act One, a second one is not given as a quest reward, but can be looted or stolen from Voss in Act Three.
- The sword can be acquired in Act Three before entering the Lower City during Deal with the Devil. If not signing the contract but lying to Voss, he gives the party the sword (
DC 30 Deception check).
