Rarity

Since the fall of the Sisterhood in 732, these swords have only rarely been seen. Prior to that time they were a relatively common sight across Keverynn's mainland. This is the traditional and primary weapon used by the Sisterhood.

Manufacture

The sword's slight curvature is attained by coating the blade with several layers of a wet clay slurry. The edge of the blade is coated with a thinner layer than the sides and spine of the sword, heated, and then quenched in water. This causes only the blade's edge to be hardened and the blade to curve.

Once the forging process is completed it is sent to be polished. The Sisterhood also adds enchantments to their blades from time to time. These are added at this time. It's rare that magic is imbued into the raw metal itself as very few enhancements of any use can be done at that stage.
