Reaper of Morning

Weapon

Very Rare Any Evil aligment Requires Attunement

Two-Handed, Heavy, Reach

Lore

Forged for the leader of the Dawn of Life, a cult obsessed with death in the name of the Raven King, this massive black scythe mocks life and rebirth, with the dark Sun near its blade. Twisted thorny vines of blackened metal creep along its handle, and a dark sun motif glows near the base of its silver-like blade — the final sun victims see before death.

(While the Raven king is neutral in all matter of life and is only governing the end of lives, he does not seek death or murder. The cult twists their own idealism of massacre and death into it being the teachings and needs of the Raven king.)
