The dagger upon a first glance seems as if it were just a jagged grey stone shard, at a closer look it's a dagger coated in a poison that has turned it into a vicious blade of stone, with an almost moss like appearance coated over it. The handle is shaped and wrapped in lacquered cloth that gives it a blackish-blue colour and has frayed from time. The blade is fairly thick, it is long and rough with a fine point.
A great and ancient entity that is believed to still exist created an assassin from the earth, combining stone and nature it arose from the ground and was imbued with the life of the very entity that made it. To aid its assassin, the entity created a blade from metals that lay deep with the ground from the magma that sat at the lowest of pits, what was created was a blade like no other. No metal of its kind had ever existed before. A black blade with a natural polish so sharp and jagged that it could both garrote a target and rip their flesh from them and slice effortlessly though them as if they were not more then a piece of parchment. Before they entity presented the blade to the assassin it drew out life essence from the world itself and imbued it into the blade as a final step, the dagger was trusted into the heart of the assassin. The powers from two incredible forces combined within the assassin and surged through the newly created assassins body, as the blade was pulled back it revealed a sickly orange glow emanating from the blade in sync with the assassins new power that was coursing through it. Two words were spoken as it was gifted to the assassin 'Anima Saxum'. From that point on the assassin acted as the hand and fury of the entity stopping anything at the source that wished it harm. Over time the power within the blade combined with the blood of the enemies that coated it and started turning it into stone.
