Bloodsword (TCG)

The Bloodswords were four swords forged by Asahina Yajinden.

Corrupted Blades
When Asahina Yanjiden unknowingly used Bloodspeaker rites taught to him by the disguised Iuchiban, he forged the infamous Bloodswords. In the beginning of the sixth century Yajinden presented swords he had forged to the champions of the Crab, Crane, Lion, and Scorpion Clans. Soon afterward, the Lion Clan Champion launched a disastrous winter battle against the Dragon Clan, the Crab Clan Champion murdered his children, and the Crane Clan Champion confessed to a love affair in front of his entire court. All three took their lives with these blades. Only the Scorpion Clan Champion escaped such a fate, soon revealing the smith's corruption, and the presence of the Bloodspeaker Cult.
