Blade of Slaughter

Soul
The Dragon believe that the Shamesword Slaughter was created when Kokujin sacrificed his vassal Hitomi Kobai on the Anvil of Despair. Through the intervention of Lady Moon Kobai's soul was not sealed within the blade entirely. Kobai sill lived and seeks redemption within the Dragon Clan by tracking down the blade.

Power
Where the Blade of Fury is an instrument of murder the Blade of Slaughter is one of a madman. Tamori Kobai's life was a violent one, one of a bully and a butcher. After he became tainted at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate his primal tendencies became even more with his taint. The part of Kobai's soul trapped within the blade is the tained part, and every time the blade is used Kobai breaks out in bouts of rage.

Location
The location of the blade is unknown to the Dragon but Kobai gains a sense of where it is every time it is used.
