Curved Nil Greatsword

In-Game Description

A great curved sword with an ominous blade.
One of the forbidden weapons sealed away
by the Ivory King.

Formed by rock, tree, and the remnants
of a most peculiar soul.

It is said that the farther its wielder travels,
the deadlier the blade becomes.

Availability
