Ornate black fantasy sword with glowing blue crystal inlays and a weeping woman's face on the hilt.

A 4.5-foot-long Greek xiphos with a dramatic leaf-shaped blade — 5 inches wide at its broadest point and tapering to 3 inches at its narrowest. The blade is inky black, absorbing light like deep, still water, with a subtle, mirror-smooth sheen when light grazes its edges. Faint, ethereal blue crystal tear-shaped inlays run from the silver cross-guard into the steel, glowing softly when its powers are active. The cross-guard has no finger guards, sculpted into the elegant, solemn face of a weeping woman, her tears flowing seamlessly into the inlay channels. The guard is forged of moon-silver, luminous against the darkness of the blade. The grip is wrapped in black, almost living leather, subtly shifting texture and pattern in response to the wielder’s touch, with hidden silver accents visible at the pommel. The entire weapon radiates a sense of mystic permanence — forged from a shard of the wielder’s soul (True Name Stone), pure mythril steel, and the ash-and-blood essence of a thousand-year telekinetic mage-vampire. Its style blends fae craftsmanship with ancient Greek martial elegance, exuding otherworldly beauty and deadly precision. The sword should appear perfectly balanced, slightly wider and more leaf-shaped than a typical xiphos, with intricate metalwork details and a faint magical aura that does not overpower the realism of the craftsmanship. The design should feel regal yet dangerous — a weapon that is as much a relic of destiny as a tool of war. See more
