| − | Originally a sea raider of the Iron Isles, Karag Two-Blades has carved a reputation as a cutthroat mercenary in the armies of the Scarlet Principalities. Driven now by fancies of robbing ghosts and claiming valor, he chases troubled dreams in pursuit of carving his name in the wild territories beyond civilization. His giant mustachio has been named 'The Caterpillar' by the men, and his favorite possession, inexplicably, is a battered horned helm.

| − | '''Dances with Death:''' The blade is named Dances with Death in the Common tongue. It is semi-sentient, endowed at its creation with an air elemental a half-dozen cycles ago by the brass-skinned smiths of Pesh. The wielder of Dances with Death gains the benefits of a ''ring of protection +1'' while it is carried, including the bonuses to saving throws. In addition, whenever an attack roll against the wielder would have hit their old AC *exactly* the wielder can make an automatic riposte, regardless if the wielder is surprised, has already acted or has yet to act. This attack cannot lead to a Cleave. (''Ex. The current wielder, Anna, has an AC of 4 without the sword and an AC of 5 with the sword. She is fighting an opponent with an Attack throw of 10+, who needs to roll a 15+ to hit her. The attacker rolls a 14, which *would* have exactly hit the Anna's old AC. The simple intelligence that inhabits the sword guides Anna's hand and enables her to make a free attack.'')
