Crafting Motif 112: Syrabanic Marine Swords

A description of what Syrabanic Marine swords should look like

---

Frog-metal, or Syrabane's Steel, is a highly coveted rarity to those of us alive today. But this was not always the case. The famed buoyant metal is an astounding prize for mariners around Amenos. The supply is woefully limited and not exactly something one can just whip up. So, I will describe these designs how they were, before Syrabane's metal was lost to the sea. When stalwart sea knights made use of these weapons and armor, they did so unafraid of the waves that rocked the decks beneath their feet. These knights of the unfathomable depths are worthy of study, as are their arms.

I located this record of one such knight who took the time to painstakingly describe the sheer magnificence of his equipment. I hope you enjoy his account as much as I, dear reader.

SWORDS
Our swords resemble hooks, as part of the blade is purposely cut out to create a notch. This makes the weapon a force to be reckoned with, as its biting edge can flay the enemy twice in a single stroke. The hilt is made from Syrabane's Steel and depicts long, sharp fins filed to points. The pommel balances the weight of the blade and contains carved tentacles bundled into a knot.
