Death's Handmaiden

Scythes of this sort are truly awesome instruments of indifferent murder, created by the fanatical followers of Iyachtu Xvim just before his transformation and the rebirth of Bane. The faithful of the New Darkness wanted to ensure that no creature was beyond the touch of his fury, and even the name shows disdain for the gods that hold true domain over murder and death, former mortals that the Godson claimed were unworthy.

King's Scythe

This item was modeled on Baron Gordaire Knightshold's weapon, a ceremonial scythe meant to make him look more rural and less a tyrant. His fledgling kingdom east of the Inner Sea faltered when a revolutionary movement adopted the symbol in their efforts to overthrow him. Each lieutenant in their league was paired with one of these far-more-functional duplicates to rally people behind them. There is little remaining of Gordaire's legacy.

Nature's Scythe

This weapon is a vicious implement of war formed from the gnarled branch of a great oak and a monstrous blade of rough-finished cold iron. This example and several others were among the unwanted remnants of battles with demonic creatures, probably those under Malimshar or Gaulguth in the Weeping War. Left in the purest of groves for years on end, nature has leeched the evil away, leaving the pure material of the weapons behind to be her vessel.

Wicked Union

On the eve of war in Hillsfar, 679 DR, a militia force desperate for arms appropriated the wares of several traveling merchants. One of the wagons seized held weapons bound for the enemy, a score of scythes that radiated evil. Clerics tried to erase the taint within and render them useful, but the result was far from perfect. They were left as a "Wicked Union" of fell and fair, with neither satisfied completely.
