Bravo's Blade

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

Description

The Bravo’s Blade is a savage weapon, capable of inflicting devastating damage on an opponent. It is said that even those not from the Free Companies develop the Bravo swagger with one of these swords on their belt. However Bravos themselves are unlikely to draw one of these blades in one of their all-to-common tavern brawls as the blade’s too lethal. This has led to the belief among warriors in other Nations that a Bravo only draws such a blade to kill – a story the Bravos themselves only encourage!

There are tales in Sarvos of an infamous mage-assassin who wielded a Bravo’s Blade and rod. They first cast the Venom spell then following up with a blow from the Bravo’s Blade. The assasin wore a mask and was never identified, and became known as the Maledict, from the potion bottle left behind at the scene of every crime.

In some Varushkan histories the tyrant-boyar Alderei the Fair was said to have wielded an artefact-quality blackened sword with the properties of a bravo's blade. This had led some schlacta to believe that they should never follow a commander that bears a bravo’s blade, lest they play some part in the return of the dark king. This of course does not stop them being popular in Varushka. They are particularly valued among the Wardens.
