Gravecount, the Heir's Blade

The longsword of a Vandahl heir laid in the deepest niche of the Sered catacombs, ranked highest of all the house dead. The Lower Wardens keep its door shut; the heir who holds it has not stopped counting.

House Vandahl buries its blood by rank, and Gravecount went down with the highest of them — a grey, fluted blade with the tally-marks of a hundred duels filed into its spine. The heir laid down with it was a proud man and is a proud wight now; he rings, the way a Vandahl with grave-goods enough always does, and he is still adding to the count. Take the sword and you take his quarrel with it: the blade bites deeper the longer a fight runs, as if it too is keeping score. The house would pay well for its return and admit nothing about why it was sealed away.
