"I have a gift for you, Vyerin. This is a legendary dragon dagger known as the Kren Aurdel. I have carried this dagger from the Olimian Wastes to the frozen lands of Galleska and have used it in more fights than you can imagine. It is yours now. May it protect you like it did me."

The Kren Aurdel is a Heavy Bronze Dagger. It was first carried by a woman named Renelle Vernandor, who appeared with it after disappearing for over a year. She says the dagger was from the secret realm of Feylisa, given to her by a Therian, a Dragonfolk named Ithonida. After returning to Cassel, Ren entered multiple knightly tournaments and won most of them while using this dagger. Even after she was promoted to higher ranks in the military and was presented with increasingly ornate and powerful magic swords, Ren always kept the Kren Aurdel close, as a reminder of when she found herself.

Some time after Vyerin ran away, Ren found the kid in Ordland, but was unable to convince Vyerin to return to Cassel. Ren then gifted Vyerin her most prized possession, the Kren Aurdel, in the hopes that Vyerin would find purpose someday. Vyerin carried the dagger since then.
 

Description

The Kren Aurdel is a heavy unwieldy weapon, made almost entirely of bronze, set with several crystals used to hold the magic enchantments. The softer bronze stands no chance against the steel weapons of the age if the two metals met directly. If it weren't for the enchantments, the dagger wouldn't actually be good for much of anything.

Because the Kren Aurdel is made of Bronze, it is able to effectively channel magic from the user, and is able to partially negate magic attacks coming at it. This isn't due to an enchantment but to the elemental composition of the weapon itself. Originally, the weapon had gold leaf covering the blade, but that was scraped off for an unknown reason.

Abilities

The Attractor enchantment is especially useful because it will pull harmful attacks towards it rather than the user, as if it were a magnet. All the user has to do is hold the weapon in front of them, and no Archer will be able to hit them from the front. The user has to be a little more adept with dagger play if they are fighting in melee, but it does an excellent job of assisting the user in parrying attacks.

the other enchantment in the blade is a shock absorber, which will redirect the shock of whatever hits it. If someone were to hit the dagger with a longsword, they may be temporarily knocked off balance from the recoil effect. The enchantment does have limitations. It isn't possible to fully block the attack of a greatsword or a hammer.

    "Ren's dagger...Out of everyone, she is the only one who never said I should be..."

    "You know what, it's not important right now. We have other problems to deal with."



    On the name...

    Kren Aurdel is a one of a kind name for a one of a kind dagger...at least on the surface world of Vreathe. Deep underground in the secret Realm of Feylisa, land of Dragons, these daggers are considerably more common and are carried by high ranking members of society, usually by priests and brood mothers.

    Kren and Aurdel are Therian words that simply translates to Dagger and Gilded.

    Author's Notes

  • Weapon may be more of a short sword due to its length and 30oz might be heavy or it might not be for a weapon of this size (I own several swords, but not one this size). It's a detail I'll address later.
