Massassi Lanvarok

About the Massassi Lanvarok

An ancient Sith throwing weapon, the lanvarok was wielded by the brutish Massassi warriors bred by the Sith Lords of Korriban and Yavin 4 in the galaxy's dark antiquity. Worn on the forearm, it flings a spray of razor-edged metal discs or shards at a foe with a snap of the wrist and a mechanical release, letting a Massassi hunter rake an enemy from across a clearing before closing to finish the work by hand. Some variants launched a single heavier projectile; all shared the weapon's savage, scattering intent. It is a relic of a vanished era, its use nearly lost with the Massassi themselves, and the few examples that survive in tombs and collections are prized as much for their menace as their history. Mastering its exotic mechanism takes patience few possess, but in trained hands it strikes without warning.
