The Shaorin Waveblade is a legendary katana forged by the young female forgemaster Shaorin Rem in the port town of Shinto. Crafted from a rare metal said to have come from the depths of the sea, the blade is engraved with intricate wave-like patterns that seem to dance in the light. When wielded, the sword feels light and agile, as if it were an extension of the wielder's body. The Waveblade is renowned for its beauty and power, making it a highly sought-after weapon by warriors and adventurers across the Nagan Empire.
Due to its legendary status, unparalleled craftsmanship, and unique abilities, the Shaorin Waveblade is valued at approximately 50,000 gold pieces. Its rarity and the legacy of Shaorin Rem further enhance its worth.
Shaorin Rem was a prodigious forgemaster who created the Waveblade in her youth. Legends say she was inspired by the ocean's majesty and the mysteries it held. The katana's reputation quickly spread, and it became known as a symbol of the sea's power and beauty. Warriors and adventurers from all over the Nagan Empire have sought the Waveblade, but it is said that the sword has a mind of its own, only allowing itself to be wielded by those with a deep connection to the sea.
