"Blasters are for cowards. This blade is for breaking men—and the ones who stand beside them." – Lord Kaelen Dravik

Lord Kaelen Dravik's lightsaber, also known as Ashrend, was forged from scavenged Sith relics and battlefield remains, reflecting both his disdain for tradition and his reliance on brute survival. Its design is brutal and practical, with an elongated, reinforced hilt built for two-handed strikes and powerful parries. The weapon's fencing emitter makes it especially effective in close-quarters duels, giving Dravik an advantage when facing multiple opponents by allowing him to control enemy blades with precision and strength.

The weapon's focus on dueling comes at a cost: its ability to deflect blaster bolts is significantly reduced, forcing Dravik to close the distance rather than rely on defense against ranged attacks. The hilt is unusually heavy compared to most lightsabers, limiting speed in exchange for devastating power. Powered by a crimson synthetic crystal, the blade burns with an unstable, angry glow that mirrors Dravik's feral fighting style. In his hands, it is less a weapon of finesse and more an extension of his warlord's will—a tool to dominate, break, and overwhelm opponents through sheer force.
