The Iron Annalist

This massive guitar is forged from heavy matte-black iron and polished brass, featuring a body shaped like a double-headed greataxe. Exposed copper wiring and small blue Hex-core crystals are embedded along the neck, serving as glowing frets. Instead of traditional strings, it utilizes six taut strands of silvered arcane filament that pulse with blue energy. A central Hextech capacitor sits where a soundhole would be, emitting a low hum and a soft azure glow that intensifies whenever the player strikes a chord with sufficient aggression.
