Weapons

The only weapon I use right now -besides magic- is a short, oriental sword called a storm serpent kodachi, which I had Wan Bending Reed make for me. When I visit the Shades, I swap it for a fairly conventional wakizashi. 

I also carry a fancy-looking dagger, but I only really use it for gathering body parts...

look kodachi

This single-edged short sword is barely more than two feet in length, with a subtle curve along the length of the blade.  Perfectly suited for infiltration and close quarters fighting, the kodachi flourishes where the katana would prove too unwieldly.  The blackened steel of the blade bears a pattern of wind and lightning and the hilt has been wrapped in snakeskin.  The maker's mark, a single reed gracefully curved by an unfelt wind, is engraved on the simple square tsuba behind the blade.

look saya

Slim and subtly curved to match the kodachi, the thin wood of this scabbard has been finished in silvery grey lacquer.  A dark grey silk shigeo cord wraps around the saya near its throat to attach it to the wearer's obi.  Elusive reflections flit through its depths, as though in the darkest of mirrors encountered in a waking dream.

look Blade of Morgul

This is a dagger, the blade of which is constructed entirely from black steel.  It is about a foot long, and very sharp.  The blade is wavered all the way along its length, lending it a worryingly deadly appearance.  The dagger has an ebony grip, and the hilt has a crossguard made from ivory.  It has been constructed to resemble a pair of leathery dragon wings sweeping out from the hilt.  The pommel of the dagger has been formed from onyx into the shape of a curled dragon tail.  The chappe of the blade is made of ruby with a motif of a fierce dragon etched upon it.
