Shivnekh and Khashgirakh

One representing life, the other death, this weapon has seen its fair share of both. The original craftsman is unknown, but is was made among the warm dunes of Ishkar. In time, this weapon would find its way into the hand of Arten Veronica Lagurdo.

Shivnekh and Khashgirakh

Weapon

Very Rare Requires Attunement

Finesse. When making an attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Light. A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two weapons. See the rules for two-weapon fighting in chapter 9.

This pair of mithral (Shivnekh) and obsidian (Khashgirakh) scimitars are connected by a sturdy chain. When you engage in two-weapon fighting using both scimitars, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

The scimitars have a collective 10 charges and regain 1d6+4 expended charges daily at dawn. When you hit a creature with one of these magic weapons, you can expend 1 of their charges to create an effect based on the blade used in the attack:

Shivnekh. When you hit a creature with Shivnekh and expend 1 charge, you and all other creatures within 5 feet of the target (other than the target) gain 2d6 temporary hit points that last for 1 minute.

Khashgirakh. When you hit a creature with Khashgirakh and expend 1 charge, that creature takes 2d6 necrotic damage, and you and all other creatures within 5 feet of the target take half as much necrotic damage.

History

These intricately crafted blades were made by Arten's Great-grandmother who was a student of the way of mercy and was known as Ramiá "Steel hand" Lagurdo. She trained her fists to be hard as steel and forged weapons with them that could embody the ways of mercy.
