Black Severance
A finely crafted asymmetrical dagger of Ashakré make, forged of ebon steel. It is an heirloom of the Bloodfellows but was lost during the Nendazi Storm. It turned up a century later on the high seas, where it was won in combat by "Rusty Peg" Rosgo, who killed Koros the Frenzy during the Ascension Wars. Peg bequeathed it to her grand-daughter, who later gifted it to her lover, the mercenary Jargos Ostrander. When Jargos was killed by the Karadoan lord Kes Alaric, he gave it to the knight Michael Alastor. From there it ended up briefly in the possession of Mayfn Maelost, who was stabbed with it and whose body bore it back to Larkos. It was retrieved by Alva Cromwell, who gave it to Akhul Talionis as repayment for resurrecting Mayfn.
