The Broken Blade of Menkis

The Broken Blade of Menkis is a sword which was used by a warrior named Menkis some time ago. Legend has it that Menkis blade was shattered when he attempted to slay a dragon. This did not phase Menkis, who kept slashing at the dragon with his broken blade until the beast fell. Menkis kept using his broken blade, refusing to mend it, to cause massive amounts of bloodshed. As the blade bathed in blood and Menkis infused it with his spite and hatred, the sword gained a bloodlust of its own. Over time, the blade gained magical properties, such as the ability to kill those who would be considered immortal, and infuses its weilder with the very same murderous hatred which Menkis once had. To most, using the blade feels wrong, partially because of its immense bloodlust but also the very unbalanced nature of a broken weapon. To very few, wielding the blade feels very natural, almost like an extension of the body itself.
