DESCRIPTION

The Khaganate forge it, the Uos Sell it and Fire For Effect Market it. That's the extent these three organizations interact on projects. The Khaganate doesn't suffer the Uos pretentious attitude usually without a sword fight happening, while Fire For Effect doesn't care enough to stop the fight. Meaning bloodbaths happen as often as successful negotiations. As long as Sere Reene gets her swords she doesn't much care, she's a simple arms dealer who has an interest in seeing the weapons demonstrated practically, often in front of her.

Shining reflectively, the Songsteel silver blade gleams. Its hilt is covered in Herdon Leather which makes for a reliable and comfortable grip. Over time and regular use the grip will likely shape itself to fit snuggly with their owner's hand, offering a personalized feel.

Masters of the Songsteel smithing art. While the metal remains largely the same, there are degrees of craftsmanship to every metal that experts can recognize, and Songsteel is no different. The Khaganate call their grades ways of the song, and this blade sits somewhere at Coruscant Grade. Meaning the steel will go through most armors, but isn't the top end by any means. The Khaganate have exceptionally high standards on their bladed weapons, discarding most grades of steel others would find acceptable, although Coruscant grade isn't their top edge it is a fine edge and a very respectable blade.

There are a few famed Songsmiths out there, this particular blade is made by a Khaganate clan known as Ruhen, who are developing a reputation among their organization enough to get the Uos family interested in distribution and FFE to market their wares. If you look upon the steel you will see one of three Ruhen markings written in Ukattan, a symbolic warrior language to dictate the songsmith himself who oversaw the process. Many Songsmiths take a hands-on overview of their work even in mass production. The sword is given the name Khagnakti Ruhen by those in the know.
