Tribunal Recovers Aegisport Artifact

AEGISPORT - The Imperial Tribunal has reportedly found an artifact shortsword in an abandoned warehouse in the Kahar Port City of Aegisport. Said to be in perfect condition, the weapon is said to be one of the most beautiful swords ever witnessed in living (and recorded) memory by those who have seen it.

The sword is also something of a curiosity, it seems: The blade, apparently made of steel, is sharper than even that of those rare weapons made of Seraphite, able to cut through steel and obsidian plate as if it were made of cloth.

However, while this apparent property may have many would-be warriors jumping in their tassets, the weapon's remarkable edge is countered by the fact that the sword seems to be cursed, for while the blade is thought to have been forged via means both magical and arcane, the sword itself weighs as much as a warhorse in full armor.

It is said (by word of mouth of people who know people who saw it) that the Tribunal had to use a pulley used for loading blocks of stone onto transport ships just to get the item onto the back of a wagon primarily used for transporting Imperial Watch officers around the Empire.

Unconfirmed rumours suggest that the Artifact entered Light's Reach this morning, and that the natural negation of Shadow in the city had no impact upon the curse, leading those of a learned background to think that the curse is not of the Shadow in nature (and, therefore, not a source of great evil and corruption).

The artifact is expected to be put on display in the Museum of Artifacts in the following days.
