It was the protective blade of the desert "Stone Snake Caravan"—when the caravan was raided by sand bandits, old caretaker Aji forged this throwing knife with scale-patterned steel from the caravan’s pack gear, its hilt bearing snake-scale patterns. He melted the copper ingots of the caravan’s stolen goods into the blade tip; when it was first used, the tip pierced a bandit’s leather armor and even embedded itself in their iron shield.
