Drachlann is the name bestowed upon the weapon crafted by Isley Verd for an exceptional member of the Templar Order: [member="Atretes Rhoujen"]. Aesthetically speaking, Drachlann closely resembles the Jedi Katanas of ancient times; but differs immensely in terms of construction and innate behaviors. To begin, the sword was created through an application of the Dark Side known as Sith Alchemy, through which the molecular structure of the base material is augmented and changed. As has become standard in his construction of physical swords, Isley selected an ultra-light alloy as the basis for the blade. Through this, the added weight which results through the Alchemy process does not result in a heavy, impractical weapon; but one of average weight.
Furthermore, another key difference between a typical Sith Sword and Drachlaan is its pronounced lack of a Dark Side aura. Whilst the weapon is lightly stained by the Darkness due to its being forged through Sith Alchemy, this stain pales in comparison to the literal nexus of Dark Side energies found in masterpiece examples of Sith Swords. However, these differences aside, Drachlaan still houses the most notable features of a sword created through Sith Alchemy. First and foremost, the totality of the sword is resistant to lightsabers, due to the blade, hilt, and guard each having alchemized Desh-Terenthium. What's more, the blade is capable of deflecting lasers and blaster bolts with relative ease and enjoys a durability that is nigh indestructible. Lastly, Drachlaan is highly reactive to the Force; especially Force-based electricity. It acts as a lightning rod, attracting and storing said electricity until the blade makes contact with a physical surface (or until the wielder deems so). At that moment, the stored lightning releases, potentially causing grievous electrical damage upon the target.
Marked with a ∑ and the symbol of Clan Verd at the base of the blade, Drachlaan is yet another quality weapon produced by the student of [member="Rave Merrill"]. It is accompanied by a scabbard of black Resinwood bearing the same markings as those etched upon the blade.
