a dark-bladed khopesh
5x blessable, with mana disruption bane flares against creatures not from this plane/valence (Rift, Ithzir, elementals, demons)
max lightened at 3 lbs
The wide, flat blade of this weapon is unnaturally dark. Faint silvery symbols carefully etched along the trailing edge of the blade appear to be magical in nature. Polished red eahnor has been artistically crafted to form a crossguard in the shape of two demons reaching up to grasp the blade. Darkened vathor hide wraps the grip while a single orange heliodor adorns its simple pommel. A faint aura of holy light radiates from the khopesh.
There appears to be something written on it.
You try to read a dark-bladed khopesh, but the language is not one you know. It looks like it's written in Faendryl. (I'm told it says "Order of the Palestra")
Loresong:
As you begin to sing, your vision shifts to the Basilica in Old Ta'Faendryl. A stern faced man enters and rapidly descends a flight of stairs. Beneath the building, the stern faced man is speaking to a blacksmith. "I'm working as fast as I can," the blacksmith says. "I didn't ask how fast you were working. I need those weapons now! The Patriarch has requested them," says the stern faced man. Hurriedly, the blacksmith begins working.
Your vision shifts and you see the stern faced man giving instruction to a group of Faendryl. Each student silently works the weapon forms, straining for perfection in each movement. Nodding his approval, the man states, "Patience and precision. That is the way of the Palestra." With that, he turns aside, returning once more to the smithy beneath the Basilica.
Your vision shifts. "Graduation is soon, are the weapons ready?" asks the stern faced man as he enters the smithy. Nodding, the blacksmith removes a dark bladed sword and matching axe from beneath a cloth. "These draw upon the flows of mana in nature and disrupt the essence of whatever they strike. They should be very effective against any creature from beyond this valance," the smith says.
As the song continues, two young Faendryl kneel before a raised dais. The stern faced man's visage relaxes some and a look of fatherly pride crosses his face. He intones, "Rise now, receive these weapons and join your brothers and sisters in the Order of the Palestra. Five hundred of you began the training, you two alone have succeeded. The Patriarch's blessing upon you both," and hands each of them a dark bladed weapon as your vision fades to black.
