The blacksword is an unusual weapon of Dwarfish design. The blade is made from Skoldûr, a type of obsidian found only in the Wildlands. Only Dwarfs are capable of shaping it into blades. The weapon is used solely by Nightwitches.
.
The unusually long grip allows for increased range, as it is also used as a weapon against the dangerous fauna of the Wildlands.
.
A design completely different from the common seaxes and Viking or Anglo-Saxon sword types seen, the only part of the Blacksword that is reminescent of these weapons is the guard in the shape of a flattened disc.
.
The golden engraving on the rim of the guard reads "Lomân Dianâ ên Duskâ Orcus, trenâ ês chwid ad dên stal" in Barnochwes. It is a phase in Gweltunânâ and translates to "By Diana's Light and Orcus' Darkness, guide this blade to its mark".

This weapon is a modified version of the Obsidian Blade I uploaded a while ago.
