Description

This Throwing Knife appears to be made out of translucent crystal, and hums with radiant energy. It is devoid of detail save a rough handle shape extending from the blade. The weapon actually grows from a smaller crystal with an alternating energy pattern, the crystal usually being held in a sheath to allow for easy access. When a blade is thrown, another mysteriously grows in place from the smaller stone.

Lore

This throwing knife is said to have come from a great meteor that fell to the earth long ago. A war was fought over possession of the rare materials located within, and these strange weapons are the only known remnants of that struggle. Some say the War Shard is a splinter from a much large, far more powerful weapon created by the battle.
