Amsel, the Lowly Blade

This weapon is carved from a single, unbroken shard of volcanic obsidian. It lacks any ornamentation, gems, or precious metals; even the hilt is merely wrapped in coarse, unbleached linen. The blade is a deep, matte black that refuses to reflect any light, ensuring that the wielder can never see their own reflection in its surface. Despite its humble appearance, the edge is preternaturally sharp and vibrates with a low, rhythmic hum when in the presence of those who claim divine or worldly sovereignty.
