Arbitian, the Royal

Arbitian, the Royal is the runeblade of Valythra Bloodmoon, forged from Saronite and empowered with blood runes to serve as a focus for the use of Blood Magic.

Appearance
The blade itself is curved and elongated, with blood runes engraved along both sides of it, pulsing expectantly with a red glow. The hilt possesses a cupped guard, and a ruby is fixed into the pommel.

Properties
The blade possesses very few, let alone unique, properties, currently serving as little more than a focus for Valythra's practice in Blood Magic. However, it does grant remarkable potency to her spells, moreso than if she did not use the weapon.

Background
Taken from the stores of weapons owned by the Onyx Rose Order, the weapon Valythra chose was nothing extraordinary; however, with guidance from Kora Deathwhisper the weapon was brought to a runeforge where Valythra carved Scourge runes into the blade and empowered it with her blood magic. The blade was then baptized with the Mirstone Massacre and named Arbitian, after an ancient vampyr legend.

Legend of Arbitian
Arbitian is the name of a vampyr in legend, said to have existed during the reign of the Empire of Arathor. Though there is nothing to confirm or deny Arbitian's existence, stories tell of a powerful vampyr who plagued the human lands, hunting people like livestock and going on to create his own hierarchical society of vampyrs. The story itself has no conclusive end, though most agree that, if there was such a man as Arbitian, he was slain long ago.
