	Blade of the Immortal (Unique, Artifact) Damage: 2-3 Piercing Enchanted: +1 THAC0: +1 Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is the strange blade that the iron golem forged using a drop of your blood. It is an ugly looking weapon, shaped so it resembles one of the symbols on your left arm. Black veins worm their way across the surface of the metal, and the edge looks so dull that it couldn't even cut warm butter. It pulses slightly as you hold it, like a heart. The golem claimed this "blade" could slay even you - provided it was used in a place that was cut off from the rest of the Planes.
	Bone Dagger Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +1 Special: +1 Piercing Damage THAC0: +1 Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests The blade of this dagger seems to be made from the bone of some creature. The edge of this blade is extremely sharp.

Blood of the fiend has infused itself with the dagger causing it to feel slightly warm to the touch. When in combat the user of this dagger can hear a constant chittering in the back of his mind causing him to lose all self-control making him unstoppable in combat, but vulnerable to spells. The history of this dagger is for the most part unknown. More than likely some berk perished while fighting the fiend, losing his dagger as well as his life. For now the name is but a description, it has yet to earn a proper title.

	Ingress' Teeth Damage: 1-6 Piercing Speed: 4 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Morte This is a handful of Ingress' living teeth.

They rattle amongst themselves whenever they are held close together; they remind you of a bunch of creepy ivory hopping bugs. NOTE: To change the teeth to a different type, select "Use." The teeth may gain new options and abilities as Morte goes up in levels.
	Jagged Bolts Damage: 3-6 Piercing Enchanted: +1 THAC0: +1 Speed: 10 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Missiles These enchanted bolts have a series of jagged black runes traved along the shaft. When fired, the runes rise upwards like spines, forming an additional row of vicious edges that tear into a target.

	Mad Splinter Damage: 2-5 Piercing Enchanted: +1 Special: .....Poisons Target .....Fragile, Breakable THAC0: +1 Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This is a dagger-shaped fragment of stone taken from the statue of Gangroightdron. It bears a powerful enchantment -- each time someone is stabbed by the splinter, they have a chance of being Cursed. It is most likely that the fell curse trapped upon Gangroighydron's lips has soaked into the very stone of his petrified form, and 'poisons' those the splinter stabs with his malicious magic.
	Mark of the Savant Damage: 3-18 Piercing Enchanted: +4 Special: .....+2 to Armor Class .....+1 to Dexterity .....+15 to Base Hit Points .....+25% Open Locks Skill bonus .....+25% Stealth Skill bonus .....+10% Detect Trap Skill bonus THAC0: +3 Speed: 2 Weight: 3 Proficiency: Fists Usable only by Thieves Cleverly designed, this object splits into two pieces to form punch daggers. When properly used they are deadly in combat. The easily accessible levers and gears shoot out and twist various blades almost as if they were extesions of the hand. Although excellent as a combat weapon, those same mechanisms used to shred the flesh of an enemy can also be used for the delicate procedures of opening locks and disarming traps. Only the most gifted of thieves possess items such as this. As it takes keen mind and skill hand to properly operate.
	Morte's Bite (Default Weapon) Damage: 1-3 Piercing Speed: 1 Weight: 0 Proficiency: "Fists" (Don't ask.) Morte's bite is lethat, and he CAN masticate someone to death. As long as his quick weapon slots are not all filled Morte can always select bite as his current weapon.
	Nordom's Crossbow Bolts Damage: 2-5 Piercing THAC0: +1 Speed: 10 Weight: 0 Proficiency: Missiles Usable only by Nordom Nordom's crossbow bolts are created by his gear spirit crossbows. The exact process they use to create them is unknown, but there does seem to be an infinite supply of them... the gear spirits seem to be able to make as many as needed on demand. Whenever the crossbow strings are pulled back, a new crossbow bolt is there and ready to be fired. The bolts vanish after they strike an object or once they reach their maximum range, then they disintigrate. If they should strike a creature with metal armor, then the crossbow bolts will actually chip away at the metal, reducing the target's armor class. This seems to be a natural ability of the gear spirits.
	Notched Dagger Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +2 Special: +2 Piercing Damage THAC0: +2 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This dagger has various notches strategically placed about the blade. When used correctly, this dagger has the ability to catch incoming blows from bladed weapons.

	Poor Quality Stiletto Damage: 1-2 Piercing Speed: 2 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This squat dagger, while ideally a thrusting weapon, looks like it would be better used as a paperweight. It is not sharp or well-balanced, and might actually hinder you in combat.
	Porphatys Blade (Cursed) Damage: 1-6 Piercing Enchanted: +3 Special: .....1-6 Acid Damage .....Beserk THAC0: +3 Speed: 0 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests The acids of Porphyatys, the fifth layer of Carceri, are dangerous to more than a body's physical form - they tear at his mind and soul, eating away at his reason. Weapons forged in this heart of betrayal do the same thing to their owners, but too many believe that the acidic powers of a weapon created in Porphatys are worth the risk.

To further her goal she commissioned the creation of these blades by the mage Thex Voorton. With her new weapons in hand she was quite successful at her craft. Shar met her demise when she was hired to assassinate the very mage who created the daggers. Much to her surprise the weapons failed to harm their creator, Thex, nor did they grant Shar protection against his spells...

When the daggers mysteriously disappeared, so did Zar 'anun.
	Ravel's Fingernail (Unique, Artifact) Damage: 2-7 Piercing Enchanted: +2 Special: 2-12 Poison Damage THAC0: +2 Speed: 1 Weight: 1 Proficiency: Edged Not usable by Priests This twisted fingernail of extruded night hag skin has got to be one of the ugliest things you have ever seen. Its mottled green, red, and black surface is almost a foot long, and it seems like it was used alternately as a scratching aid, nose-picking tool, and gardening trowel. Looking at it makes you wish that Ravel did chew her nails. Or at least had a nail file with her in the maze.
