Order of the Sacred Steel

Warriors and adventurers are known to obsess over their weaponry, but the foremost in this obsession are The Blood Hunter Order of the Sacred Steel. These hunters spend nearly every resting hour in a nearly meditative obsession with their weaponry. Each one will have his or her own set of highly specialized tools of trade that they treat with an almost reverent care, and none who have ever tried to relieve a member of the order of their weapon has lived to tell the tale... they at least had a very bloody battle to fight first.

 

Apparently they commissioned the help of our master artificer in creating a new design. Dangerous? Well I'm sure, their kind never play it safe... or even smart, come to think of it. they seemed to rely on instinct - What did you say? HA! I knew those schemes might one day prove useful but - It works? No... I'll bet they didn't stick around to share this with the rest of us? That sounds like them... Still, as long as we're looking at results...
