Hayai: Ancestral Sword of the Unicorn
Descrição
The most worldly of the Great Clan ancestral swords, Hayai is also the least conventional. It is a shining cavalry scimitar, forged in the Burning Sands by the Ujik people, the ancestors of the Moto family. Although the blade is brilliant silver, the sword’s spiraled ivory hilt has been blackened by the touch of countless hands. Adorning the hilt is a white tassel, which is replaced by each new wielder upon receiving the blade. This lets others see how long Hayai has been carried by its current warrior.
Hayai is the Rokugani name for the sword, but before that, it was Chuluunbold, the sword of a great Ujik khan. When the Ujik people swore fealty to Shinjo, they gave her the sword as a sign of trust and friendship. In turn, Shinjo gave the Ujik khan her own sword, Kiro, to return the gesture. Under its new name, Hayai is carried by the Unicorn Clan Champion, but the sword is rarely drawn by the Khan of
Khans. Instead, the Unicorn Champion often bestows it on one of their generals in a display of favor and trust; so certain is the champion that the general will be victorious that they entrust them with Hayai, knowing that it will be returned when the battle is won.
Hayai is a scimitar of unique make designed with influences from outside of Rokugan.
Propriedades
- Quirk: When Hayai is held while sheathed, an otherworldly voice sings in the mind of the wielder, either soothing or frightening them, depending on the state of the wielder’s heart.
- Profile: Range 1, Damage 5, Deadliness 7, Ceremonial, Durable, Razor-Edged, Sacred.
- Sealed Inversion: Hayai contains the Shattering Caress inversion (see page 119), which is activated using Sentiment (Void) instead of Martial Arts [Melee or Unarmed] (Void).
