Nine of Dusk

Nine of Dusk was said to have been forged by Porcyi, the last of the legendary Ten Swords of Ganga. These ten blade masters each forged their names into legend through leading the expansion of the Gangan Empire through the end of the Era of Legends. The other nine Swords frequently out shined young Porcyi, so eventually he traveled north, into the Frostlands, seeking legendary power to make himself more of a match for his companions.
However, the Porcyi that returned 4 years later was not the same honorable warrior who had left. When he returned, he had achieved the power he sought, but had become ruthless and jealous. It is said that he forge Nine of Dusk with the help of the demon Rafre the Cruel. He then turned the his new blade on his companions, slaying all nine of them before he himself succumbed to injuries from the battle.
