Back to Famous Weapons of Battal

The Doomblade

A weapon carried by Yoxor Xxar in Book 4. The doomblade is an ancient double edged and double-ended weapon of untold power, a dark mirror of the first of the 100 Swords of Sepathok, The Gripless Sword. However, since it has two edges and no haft, its impossible to wield in battle without cutting off one's hand. Therefore, the awesome destructive power of this weapon has never been fully realized. The aforementioned destructive power would have been pretty damned awesome (this is what distinguishes it from the somewhat more mundane Gripless Sword), though, or so it is rumored - knocking down buildings with a single brandish, slicing through vertebrae and whatnot - so the sword's uselessness is either a damn shame or a lucky break for humanity, depending on how you look at it.
