Stryxis Curseblade

Stryxis Curseblades are a deadly Xenos knife variant, seemingly grown from the dark blue-grey metal common among Stryxis technology. These strangely-curved blades are only slightly longer than a man’s forearm and seem to hum with a distant, atonal noise. Designed for the slender talons of a Stryxis, they do not sit easily in human hands, almost as if rebelling from the foreign grip. These ‘Curseblades’ bear a vile reputation, entwined with the unsettling reputation of the Stryxis themselves. Those who are wounded by these blades are believed to suffer a wound to the soul as well as to the body, sapping the will to fight and leaving a scarred and fractured mind. How much of this is truth and how much is fearful speculation remains unknown.^[1]
