Object

Kurn's Knife

A compact, personal combat knife carried by Kurn and produced instinctively when assassins attack. The blade is hand-sized and utilitarian rather than ornamental, gripped and flashed in close quarters as Kurn fights to defend himself. It appears service-worn from practical use; characters react to its quick appearance with immediate urgency as it becomes the focal point of a violent scuffle in the tunnel.
