•  [Shadow Slicing Shortsword] (provided)

Description

<Your familiarity with the Archivists' Codex makes it clear that this is one of the missing relics.

Archivist Roh-Suir has a spot for this shortsword in the Reliquary of Remembrance.>

Rewards

You will receive:

•  [Shadow Slicing Shortsword]
• 500x [Cataloged Research]
• +500 reputation with The Archivists' Codex

Completion

Though the blade's shadow severing properties may appear to be no more than a parlor trick, I believe this is one of the most dangerous relics in our care.

Notes

Shadow Slicing Shortsword

On complete:

Archivist Roh-Suir says: Ah, yes. One step closer to a fully restored Archive!

The shortsword reads:

Shadow Slicing Shortsword

<Though unassuming at first glance, at times the blade catches the light in such a way that you are temporarily blinded by its brilliance.

The shadows themselves seem to slink back from the sword, as if they fear its power. You note that the one of them appears to have somehow cut itself on the blade's edge.

If nothing else, this weapon is likely excellent at attacking the darkness.>
