• [SIZE=11pt]The dark side of the Force is strong around the sword, easy for both Jedi and Sith to perceive unless concealed in some special way.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]The modestly sized handguard may not protect one’s wrist and knuckles from the graze of a lightsabre.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=11pt]Not optimal for stabbing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]This two-handed sword is modeled after a blade used by the ancient warlord Daritha Xim, known as Xim the Despot. Its hollow-ground slicing edge would be unsuitable for a chopping weapon if not for the sword’s weight and supernatural durability. The edge, painstakingly treated with high-grade Svolten rhyolite, simply refuses to roll or chip no matter how much mundane armour it shears through. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]This is not the kind of magic sword one wears to invoke pyrotechnics and strange weather. One wears this sword for the express purpose of chopping things that very much need chopping, when not even another Sith sword will do. As Sith swords go, this one is a refinement of a traditional form rather than a trendy departure that innovates for the sake of innovation. (Moran is quite happy to make those as well if clients or curiosity demand, but not this time around.)[/SIZE]
