Blades of Cara Fahd (Unique)
"The Blades are a matched set of seven daggers, each with a hilt of deep red wood with a small, dark emerald set in its pommel. Runic carvings run along both sides of the hilts, around the pommels and around the gleaming steel blades. On one side of the blades are runic symbols for the ancient ork kingdom of Cara Fahd; on the other sides are runes which, when aligned correctly, form the symbol of a group of ork adventurers that once wielded the daggers. Each of the eight wielders carried one of these daggers, until a Horror marked one of them. The Horror-marked individual betrayed his fellow group members and Cara Fahd; afterward, the other members killed the traitor and destroyed his dagger. "

The weapon adds +3 Steps to any two abilities attached to the group True Pattern, +2 Steps to a third ability and +3 to the wielder�s Spell Defense against Horrors and Horror constructs. This bonus is +6 against the Horror defeated by the orks who originally wielded the daggers.
The blades grant the characters a terrible power: By performing a blood magic ritual, the group can rip a target�s spirit from his or her body. This power causes 5 points of damage to each member of the group. The target�s spirit becomes trapped within the blades and can only be purged after a year and a day. The power is activated by successful Spellcasting Tests against the target�s Spell Defense by all group members. The power has a step number equal to the highest rank of all threads woven to the blades.
