Object
Ornate Assassin Knives (Short Throwing Daggers)
A matched set of compact, ornate daggers with short, weighted blades and intricately engraved hilts. Blades gleam with a darkened patina, edges honed for stabbing and throwing; filigree and clan-mark motifs run along the guard. In the ambush, the knives flash in the assassins' hands—one embeds in flesh after Kahlest hurls a knife with lethal precision—leaving metal smeared with blood and oil from close combat.
