Weight: 4
Handling: 1-handed
A curved one-handed shortsword from the ancient Khadisar empire which has a large singular cutting edge, often inlaid with geometric patterns. Its weight allows it to cut deep but it does not fare well against heavily armored opponents. Can also be used as a gathering tool where needed. Its main difference from other shortswords is its intended use with a shield in the offhand.
