A fairly small, thin, jagged blade made of obsidian is held by a grip wrapped in uncommon, dark brown snake leather.
A sharp, dual-edged blade makes this weapon the best choice for both cleaving and stabbing your enemies with ferocious power.
The blade has a jagged, curved cross-guard, creating the ideal weight balance to allow for smooth and accurate swings with this blade. The cross-guard has a decorative owl head on each side, marking the house it belongs to.
A small pommel is engraved with the symbol of its owner, fancy decorations for a fancy sword.
The blade itself is unadorned. No markings, no decorations and no engravings. A sheathed sword has a hidden blade and a sword in use will be dirty and bloody, so only the hilt needs decorations.
This weapon is used by higher ranked guards. Worn by the wealthiest among us, but not always the most deserving among us.
