Arls Lutwidge of the Moonlight broadsword is a member of the Myths' Guild. He is located on the 1^st floor^[UK]2^nd floor^[US] within the north-west tower. He is known for defeating the Moonfly, a creature which killed many children and livestock. He, himself had released this Moonfly onto the world by accident while fishing, so he felt responsible for getting rid of it.

He mentions to the player that he had given his Moonlight broadsword away to a young adventurer, only to have that person die with it in a far off land. He then asks that should the player ever come across it, to return it to him, however there wouldn't be a reward as just being able to hold his sword is payment enough. He also offers a reward for players who can bring him books marked with the symbol from the Fountain of Uhld. However, no such sword or books currently exist in the game.
