Artifact:The Dark Sword

The Darksword
Last known owner: Sabin

A single piece, light-absorbing, black sword of unknown origin mysteriously turned up in the possession of Blackfyre the Darklite one day, and was gifted to The Metal Sabre. The blade corrupted the warrior, bringing him to murder a number of mages. He was eventually freed of the weapon, and it was returned to the possession of Blackfyre. Some fifteen years later the blade was unexpectedly taken by the Ranger Sabin, who sought to control the weapon's evil nature. Little is known about this sword or where it came from, though the being called Zahnos claimed it was his own. It is known to simply and completely absorb the effects of magic in the immediate area, most aggressively when being wielded. It was last seen in the possession of the Ranger of Karchan, Sabin, when he used it to assist in destroying the Blue Stone of the MIF.
