Originally named Juhla and wielded by the Enkelli, Kavaa, the Fruit-Giver, and the Lady of the Earth. After the Second Karkotus, she attempted to restore the barren Shrouded Lands that Kapina had corrupted. It is said that when Kavaa plunged her sword into the dirt to bring life anew nothing grew, that is until she removed Juhla and it sprouted a second blade, black as Tyhjyys (the void) itself. Despite Juhla's corrupt growth, Kavaa could not bring herself to destroy the blade she had carried since the beginning of creation and simply rid herself of it. Eventually, the blade fell into the possession of the Black Dragon Cogromax who coveted it more greatly than any item in his horde. You received this item after defeating Cogromax.
