Bane of the Dead An ancient weapon Crafted at Improved Blacksmithing Bench

Description

“	...the narrow defile was packed and jammed with horses and men, the warriors crushed breast to breast, stabbing with shortened blades, slashing murderously when there was an instant's room to swing a sword.	„
	~ People of the Black Circle

In primitive cultures, short swords are scoffed at as little more than knives. However, in the Hyborian cultures such as Aquilonia or Nemedia, where shield walls and cavalry charges have become a reality of combat, short swords are prized for their ability to thrust and stab in spaces where no longsword could ever be wielded.

Because they are smaller and weigh less than other weapons, short swords are also faster to use and consume less stamina than their larger counterparts.

Notes

The Bane of The Dead possesses the ability to apply a DoT debuff to undead enemy types, similar to poison on other enemies. The only other weapon to possess this ability is the Gravebane mace.
