  • Enhanced by Alchemy: The blade was created through imbuing sarrassian iron with the mysterious and arcane tenets of Sith Alchemy, enhancing it far beyond the comprehension of mortal means. The blade is supernaturally sharp, allowing it to cut through most metals like a lightsaber would with minimal effort. As with all creations formed through the profane alchemical techniques the sword can completely resist the plasmatic blades of lightsabers, as well as both absorb and expel bolts of force lightning.
  • Laced with Poison: A malevolent addition to the greatsword is a thin layer of the gemstone known as Devaronian Blood Poison applied to the weapons edge. While not inhibiting the cutting ability of the sarrassian iron the effect of this exotic gemstone is deadly. Due to the poison just by touching the blade to ones skin causes unendurable pain. If the blade breaks the skin not only would this blinding pain last until the wound was healed, but the effect of the crippling torment would amplify threefold as the opportunity presented itself for the jewels toxin to enter the bloodstream.
  • Eater of Souls: A legendary feature of groundbreaking work achieved by Rave Merrill, one of the greatest masters of alchemy in modern memory, the blade includes a specialized form of leviathan blister trap. Everything that is killed by this blade finds its soul consumed by it, devoured by the hungering runeblade. The unique nature of the blister trap allows the blades wielder to access the knowledge of the deceased (OOC Note: In a PvP setting this can only be done with the express consent of all parties involved).
  • Sonic Discharge: On impact the blade releases a series of sonic waves and vibrations that allow it to rip through flesh, most forms of armor, stone, durasteel plating and more.
  • Soul Bond: The blade is inexorably bound to its owner who is the only one capable of utilizing its devastating power. The aformentioned owner has the ability of both calling and dismissing the blade, seeing through it, and knowing its location at all times.

  • Heavy: A byproduct of the alchemization process has made this monstrous blade incredibly heavy. The blade is so heavy that it's entirely unusuable for most humanoids, while those who were equipped find themselves needing the power of the force to use.
  • Madness: The blade is imbued with its own twisted, malefic sentience that constantly pulls on the mind of the wielder. It actively thirsts for blood, hungers for souls to add to its collection. A wielder of the weapon constantly guards against its whispers, and in battle prolonged exposure to gore has the potential to drive the wielder into a bloodthirsty rage.
  • Beacon: A byproduct of the blades immense darkness is that under no circumstances can the blade be hidden, it can always be felt by those sensitive to the force as an abomination of the dark side, an affront to reality itself.

Daesumnor.

In the very beginning the blade was a farcry from what it eventually became. It was the byproduct of long, arduous research by one of the greatest alchemists of the past eight centuries Rave Merrill. The blade was further inspired by the Leviathan of Corbos and their unique blister traps that are used to trap souls. Rave put her brilliant mind to task researching these impressive beasts and achieved an astonishing breakthrough. Through a complex process she was able to combine one of these leviathan blister traps into an alchemized blade to create an impressively powerful weapon capable of stealing the souls of those it killed.

A pair of blades were made one named Daesumnor for Jacen Cavill known as Darth Kryptus, and one named Derriphan for Kaine Zambrano who would someday be known as Darth Carnifex Darth Carnifex , to be used in the war against the Jedi. Decades passed and Daesumnor was used to terrible effect in the hands of Darth Kryptus who slaughtered countless foes with his terrible blade. Eventually the Sith Lord finally put down the blade when he saw how far the blades corruptive influence had manipulated him, locking it away it moved through several of his vaults before settling on a hidden one on Prakith. Darth Kryptus too disappeared from the known galaxy leaving only his legacy and rumors behind. The runeblade slipped into myth and legend.

Until Darth Prazutis came looking.

A long investigation saw him track the blade far and wide across the galaxy through countless hidden vaults left behind, he followed the blades trail through each one until it finally led him to Prakith. It was there that he finally came into possession of the runeblade. In the years that followed it too faithfully served as the chosen weapon of the Lord of Lies who slaughtered thousands with it including some of his most dangerous adversaries, the most notable being Silara Kuhn in a kaggath to the death. It was a duel that also saw her daughter, Lisette Kuhn executed with it.

But not even this blade was invincible. In battle against the spectral Jedi Master Zark San Tekka Zark San Tekka on Rhen Var a targeted assault saw the blade strained.

It was enough to create miniscule cracks which allowed Silara Kuhn to pull her soul free. The cracks were patched just in time for the Sith Empire's retaliatory strike on Pantora. In the aftermath of a sucessful invasion the Shadow Hand revisited his runeblade, simple repairs was no longer a feasible solution. Daesumnor was no longer enough. So the blade was disassembled its blister trap carefully removed and Daesumnor was reforged anew. Into the new blade he poured his cruelty, his malice, his absolute hatred of all life. It is a farcry from the original design of a bastard sword, now it was a Sith Greatsword of colossal size and length. The blades terrible power unleashed earned it many names by those who bore witness to its terrible destruction: The Blade of Hunger, Breaker of Dynasties, Bane of Kings, End of Empires, The Great Blade of Death.

The new and improved Daesumnor was unleashed upon countless battlefields across the galaxy, often wielded by the Shadow Hand against the greatest enemies of the Sith Empire and the Sith'ari. It found itself filled with many potent souls ranging from the pure jedi to sith heretics, and so many more, it was undefeated on the field of battle. Until the Battle of Bimmisaari when Darth Prazutis found himself locked in battle with Veiere Arenais, his long hated nemesis in a final brutal confrontation. Ultimately the Sith Lord was triumphant but not without great personal cost. While he attempted to claim the soul of the Jedi Master the very force itself fought back against this abomination of nature who tried to take the soul of one of its purest jedi and broke Daesumnor, nearly killing its wielder in the process. In the aftermath of the battle all of the pieces of Daesumnor were recovered, still saturated with power and souls still trapped within the dark blade.

After he recovered from his wounds the Shadow Hand directed all of his energy and focus to his chosen runeblade and put his mind to task in restoring it to its former glory. It was a long, painstaking process to reforge the shards together and restore the complex trap that held the souls. To ensure that such a thing wouldn't so easily happen again he reinforced the system that contained the souls. The last step of the process involved sating the malevolent, living blade by drowning it in the blood of its most hated foe: Jedi. After spilling enough blood on battlefields, and through the execution of prisoners, the blade was once more ready to take the field.

Couple of things.

You have this as a Sith Sword that also utilizes a Ultrasonic Vibration Generator. While Tremor Swords were a thing, from an electronics perspective (don't kill me, I work with PCBs for a living) this seems like it would come with certain risks.

It would function normally up to the point where a current comes into play. Once we get into the lightning hitting the blade and getting absorbed, you'd see the electronics naturally effected. Even with capacitors, lightning generally has an extremely high voltage that would overload any type of circuitry.

Capacitors work by storing a set amount of power, and they deactivate or release that power when certain criteria are met. (i.e. a program directs them to do so, or a switch is flipped) If they exceed that amount of power, they can explode- which smells absolutely terrible, by the way.

Generally speaking, they are used to limit the amount of power running through a circuit so that it remains within specific parameters. You could utilize multiple Capacitors to control the flow of a greater amount of electrical current, but the number of capacitors required for that (and the size, not to mention) for a lightning bolt would be both prohibitive for something like a sword, and costly.

So, my point here is that while it's functional to a point, a major weakness would be that if you intended to ground or absorb electricity, you would most likely blow out the circuity in the generator. If you're prepared to accept that as a weakness, fantastic!

If not, I'd recommend removing the generator. Not like it would hurt a sword that literally eats souls much.

Also, lacing the blade with a poison would also be overkill. Having vibroblade capabilities would likely neuter the effectiveness of poison anyway; and electricity on the scale of Sith Lightning would burn it off anyway- or at the very least, cauterize any wound it created in such a way as to render the transference of the poison ineffective.

You only really need it to do one of these three things and it's already plenty dangerous. I'd recommend keeping it as a Sith Sword, making it fundamentally a behemoth vibroblade, or utilizing a poisoned edge, but not all of the above.

Looks good, but we've got a couple of minor issues to resolve before I can stamp this.
  • The link to Daesumnor (Primary Source) is broken, as is the link to the investigation thread in the Description.
  • The "[member="Darth Carnifex"]" and "[member="Zark"]" tags are broken. Please link their accounts or bios.
Since you've obviously put a lot of effort into this, I'll point out some minor inconsistencies and the like. Up to you what you do with them. Namely, the 'Madness' Weakness is a slightly different shade of red and your image looks a bit wonky on small screens / large screens without fluid width.
