Mamekan Blades, Alchemical Weapons and Martial Arts
The Order of the Warriors of Mameka is a much-feared fighting force sponsored by the Priest-artificers of the Order of Mamaka, Master of Steel. They are renowned for their spiritual toughness and discipline, wielding magnificent holy greatswords and a wide array of terrifying alchemical weaponry.
The Sykaif - Mamekan Blades
The legendary Sykaif or Mamekan Blades are crafted at Castle of Benedes by the Mamekan. A mysterious man said to be a direct descendant of the Agrik's Personal Weapon-smith.
These powerful, uniquely patterned blue steel have a piece of flawless cherry amber embedded in their pommel. After a painful blood ritual performed by the Priests of the Order of Mamaka, the Knight's soul is bonded with this weapon. After his death, his soul is stored in the amber gemstone until released to the afterlife in a solemn ritual. The Order of Mameka will go to any lengths to recover lost blades.
The Sykaif are either of Masterwork (+2) or Legendary (+3) Quality; however, after bonding with a warrior, they become +2 or +3 Magical Greatswords, and the wilder can use the Searing Smite Spell at least once per day. Some particularly devout Knights may have access to other Smites as well.
In the hands of anyone else, these weapons will be cursed, and any attacks made with it will be at Disadvantage.
