“Members of the Sword Brotherhood train with the auhzian, a hooked razor sharp sword without a soft hilt covering. The hilt, pommel and hand guard all feature pointed blades that can be used to stab and cut. The main blade is straight except for the tip, which curves backward into a wide, serrated hook. This hook is used for disarming and for scrambling up the sides of enemy ships with ease. The sword’s numerous sharp points make it difficult to defend against. The auhzian is found in several sizes, from that of a lengthy dagger to extraordinarily long swords up to five feet in length. Many Lintha swordsmen have trained to fight with an auhzian in each hand.”
