Tessard
A serpentine sword that hisses when swung. Perhaps an ornamental blade for a hearth-rack of yesteryear. Or a ceremonial sword for an occult order long lost. Whatever purpose she once held, Tessard today is no more than a mockery. What strange runes have carved their way into her ancient face?
