Pyrosteel Blade of the Tri-Flame
A long, tapered sword forged directly within a living lava channel deep beneath the Scorching Spine, its dark metallic body shot through with veins of ember that never cool. The blade's surface bears the Tri-Flame Crest of the Flame-Council, etched by Ember-Scribes in glowing ash-glyphs that pulse with every swing.
