Contents
History
The Blade is an heirloom, having originally been created on Talassar, then being passed through many generations before reaching the hands of Sicarius.[2] It presumably takes its name from the constant storms of Talassar.[1a]
Born into Talassari nobility, Sicarius began training in the arts of war as soon as he was able to grasp a sword.[1b]
Construction
The Tempest Blade was forged from storm-wrack adamantine, ensuring its edge remains eternally sharp. Additionally, it is weighted for both balance and stability.[2]
