Mru'shkane

Mru'shkane was the blade of the Myrmidon Ryxa Hunneld.

History and Naming
Ryxa Hunneld was born to wield a blade, so the bards sing-but, first she had to make one. Mru'shkane was her finest work, made by her own hand and through her own will over many months-she placed a bead of her own blood in it's hilt upon completion, and declared she would wield no other sword as long as she lived. The name itself is the Drowish word for 'Temptation'-though why she chose this name, she explained not.

It was later enhanced by the channel and smith Vare Ironwrit, gaining further power.

Appearance
The blade consists of hand tempered folded steel, and while you can see your own face in it's metallic finish, the image is hazy and clouded, seeming to reflect no light or warmth. The blade has no nicks or scratches, despite it's frequent use. The hilt is tough black leather intersped with red inlay, capped with a flat cross guard - there is a very small glass bead in the center, where a small amount of blue liquid swirling within. A blue silk ribbon ties off the crossguard, as well.

The edges of the blade are tinged with crimson, and red runes swirl illegibly on the hilt's ribbon.

The sheath of the blade consists of a single flawless sapphire, translucent so that the bladee can be seen. Red runes appear along it's length when it's powers are invoked.

Powers

 * The ribbon on the crosshilt of the blade wraps around the wrist of a rightful wielder, preventing the blade's loss.
 * The blade is capable of absorbing blood (or ichor), which passes on some of the properties of the blood to the wielder.
 * The sheath has the ability to protect it's wearer from elemental damage, such as dragon breath.
 * The blade seems to enhance the fighting ability of it's weilder.
 * The powers of the blade are only accessible by a channel, and it appears unweildy in the hands of any ither.

Location
The blade stood embedded in the grave of Ryxa Hunneld when last seen, in the catacombs beneath Bastion .s
