Sith Sword

About the Sith Sword

Forged in the old ways of the Sith and quenched in dark intent, these blades were the weapons of the ancient order before the perfection of the lightsaber. Alchemically treated metal, worked through rituals now half-forgotten, made the Sith sword uncommonly durable, so that in later ages a few could even turn a lightsaber's edge. Ulic Qel-Droma and the Sith Lords of the old wars carried such swords, and the alchemy bound to them lent an air of menace that outlasted their makers. Held in two hands, it is a straightforward slasher and thruster, its power drawn from the metal and the will behind it rather than any generator. Relics of that era are prized and feared in equal measure, and the darkness worked into the steel is said to linger long after the smith is dust.
