Scourge of Gold
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Avernus
was exploring more niche artistic mediums. The idea of weapon crafting as an art form became appealing to him when he had the idea of implementing some kind of Makashi demonstration alongside the weapons as a performance art piece. He drew up the designs for five unique blades that would be specially forged, weighted, and balanced for the implementation of Form II. Soon after the blades were finished and the performance art piece was in the works, he received a vision of taking on apprentices and felt an unexplainable impulse to have the weapons alchemized.
Following what he believed to be the will of the dark side, Darth Avernus got the weapons alchemized into fully functional Sith Swords, for use in training the apprentices he knew he would soon take on. He kept specialized qualities for Makashi and had the blades alchemized in a fashion that would allow for easier implementation of certain techniques as a training crutch before the apprentices moved on to the lightsaber. The blades currently sit in a personal vault on Dromund Kaas awaiting to be received by their future owners.

STRENGTHS
+Enhanced By The Dark Side
many Sith Swords before them, this group of weapons has been enhanced by sith alchemy. This gives the blades all of the regular features you would expect in a sith sword. It can withstand lightsabers, deflect blaster fire, and withstand far more punishment than a regular sword. +Enhanced By The Dark Side
+Special Weighting
These blades have been specifically forged so that the weight, balance, and overall handling of the blade cater to Form II drills and exercises, allowing for ease of implementation of Makashi both in training and actual combat.WEAKNESSES
+Force Light Susceptibility
The swords have been heavily modified by sith alchemy, and thus exposure to Force Light will violently destroy them, leaving no tangible trace of their existence behind.+Force Light Susceptibility
+Sword Drawbacks
Given that these are actual metal swords and not lightsabers, they have several drawbacks considering how primitive they are. They are primarily designed for single combat and don't excel when facing multiple opponents, mostly due to their weight. They require bigger swings to generate power, meaning they require much more room and effort to accomplish a lethal stroke. They are also not as effective at deflecting blaster bolts given that they are much slower to maneuver, again due to their weight.DESCRIPTION
