Winged Blight Item Code

The item code for Winged Blight is ZZR6WB.

This massive sword, presumably fashioned to be wielded by a person of great strength, is as elegant as it is repulsive. Though coated in metal, its blade has been reinforced with human bones. Furthermore its hilt, and accompanying scabbard, have been stylishly made from tanned human flesh and skin. Little is known about the origins of this sword, but Mulhorandi aristocrats have passed its rumor from generation to generation. According to legend, whenever a human Mulhorandi woman gave birth to a girl after having been forced into slavery, she would, on the night of the first full moon, pray to the ancient pharaoh Tyrish for guidance. Hearing her prayers, Tyrish would send "floating down from the heavens" this weapon, originally no larger than a stiletto, and the woman would use it to severely disfigure her child. Once the deed was done, the weapon would enlarge slightly before floating away as gracefully as it had arrived. These "marked" children, now deemed undesirable by their male overseers, would be allowed to purchase their freedom, thus sparing them the horrors of slavery. The scars inflicted upon these children - those physical in nature at least - would eventually heal over time.
