Wondrous Item

Rare

The Hyðcyrād Hencyr presents itself as an exemplar of refined martial craftsmanship, its form a study in understated elegance and uncompromised functionality. The blade, forged from ḧuntāld, exhibits a pristine, slightly lustrous surface with a soft, gleam that catches the ambient light. The metal, honed to a polished finish along its central plane, reveals a subtle grain structure running parallel to the blade’s length. Along the edges, a faint line marks the transition from the cutting edge to the more robust spine, emphasizing both precision and strength. Measuring at thirty-nine inches from tip to pommel, the hencyr boasts a long, slender profile designed expressly for thrusting. As is the definition of the hencyr, the blade’s cross-section is triangular, tapering gradually to a fine, needle-like point intended to breach even the most resilient of targets. Its double-beveled edges meet in an acute angle, a deliberate design choice that enhances its piercing capability while ensuring a clean, linear trajectory through tissue. Despite the severe geometry, the surface maintains a subtle curvature that aids in channeling force directly to the tip. The guard is a thin, straight crosspiece of the same polished ḧuntāld that provides minimal but effective protection. Its simple, linear form is supported by narrow tangs that extend seamlessly into the blade’s fuller, a narrow groove running along the center that reduces weight and enhances balance. The fuller itself is precisely engineered, its width and depth uniform along the blade. The pommel is a solid, hemispherical mass, crafted with smooth, rounded contours that complement the blade’s slender silhouette. A series of delicate line, etched with precision, adorn its surface, each line subtly receding into the metal, a reference to the God-King himself. The pommel’s weight is perfectly balanced against the blade, imparting a natural, intuitive feel in the hand. The hencyr’s hilt is wrapped in tightly woven leather, dyed in muted whites that have softened over years of use. The wrapping is uniform and secure, meticulously aligned with the blade’s full tang that extends from guard to pommel. Small, evenly spaced perforations in the leather allow for ventilation and a firm grip, ensuring that the weapon remains comfortable and secure during prolonged combat. At the base of the hilt, the pommel is a thick tetrahedron of ḧuntald that overextends, allowing for better grip when pulling the blade from a target. The tetrahedron is formed with a sharp point that could double as a perforating tool, or even a weapon, should the need arise.   Archetype: Estoc   This weapon has Reach.   This weapon has Constitution Scaling (C).   Smithed Aspects:   Ḧelfian - Perforate (i) - Hits overpenetrate and hit whatever is up to 5ft. behind the targeted creature, give that the target creature stands in a 1 square space.   Elurian - X   Āurelian - Refine (ii) - Everytime you miss an attack, gain a Refine Counter, gain +2 to hit for every counter you possess.

You shift your weight forward, flexing your knees as you prepare the thrust. With a deep, controlled breath, you extend your dominant arm, gripping your weapon tightly. You drive your hips forward, channeling force through your torso as you lunge, your blade aimed at the midsection. Mid-thrust, you twist your torso sharply, deepening the stab. Your momentum carries the weapon further, and the twisting motion destabilizes the massive foe, ensuring a fatal, precise strike. Add +3 to hit. Add +5 ft. of range.
