Lore:Fangs of Sithis

The Fangs of Sithis are a set of pre-Duskfall weapons, taking the form of either two large eggs, or a set of dual daggers. They are one of the only known artifacts of Sithis.

The Fangs were gifted to the Night Mother by Sithis, the Dark Husband, who in turn gifted them to the Shadowscales. It is said that a single Shadowscale wielding the Fangs could lay waste to entire cities not just via mass killings, but also by causing crop-failures and famine. However, most are unable to safely wield the Fangs, as they feed upon the wielder's mind and soul, causing the weak-minded either to go mad, or become mindless agents of Sithis who are devoid of free will.

During the Three Banners War, one Fang was stolen from its hiding place inside Sunscale Strand by Captain Nahrevii of the Renrijra Maor. The other was recovered by a team led by the Vestige. With the exception of the Vestige, each of the Fang's wielders ultimately went mad. As a result, the Captain slaughtered her crew, and an explorer with the Vestige's expedition betrayed his cohorts.

From there, the fate of the Fangs is unknown. It is said that either the Fangs of Sithis were peacefully recovered by a group of Shadowscales who confronted the Vestige once they had recovered them both, leaving them with a replica made in the Fangs' image; or that the Vestige was gifted a single Fang to wield by an aspect of Sithis, who appeared to them just as the confrontation began to turn violent.
