This relic is a dagger-length shard of impossibly sharp, non-terrestrial black metal that seems to absorb the light around it. A hilt of solid, crimson coral has grown around the metal shard, fused as one. The dagger is strangely cold to the touch, as if just pulled from a crushing, sunless deep.
The Shard functions as a +1 Dagger.
- Indestructible: Indestructible by mundane means and ordinary magic; only a specific counter-ritual (or Wish/divine miracle) can sunder it.
- Worthless: The dagger cannot be sold. Reputable merchants and collectors recoil from it, while zealous factions or priesthoods will seek to cleanse, imprison, or destroy its bearer.
