A intricate vambrace of blackened steel and embossed leather, etched along the underside with protective abjuration runes. Concealed within the housing lies a deadly slender blade forged from gleaming, high-purity silver.
Designed by an ancient order of nocturnal hunters, the mechanism is triggered by a subtle wrist flex pulling a taut ring fitted over the middle finger. With a soft, metallic click, six inches of cold, alchemical silver leap forward—turning a casual gesture into a lethal strike before a vampire or thrall even realizes they are in danger.
