Sacrificial kris

The sacrificial kris is an artefact introduced in 559AF in Merentesh's Shop of Wonders in Delos. The kris is forged from steel and has a somewhat helical or scalloped edge which is set in a haft of ebony. The blade is etched with depictions of Aldar runes which represent death and sacrifice.

In addition to its functioning as a sword, the kris may be attuned to any particular deity in the presence of one of Their shrines, following which corpses may be offered to that God or Goddess for essence. The kris must be wielded to be used.
