Tsunami

Tsunami rests on a worn oak table, blade pale as moonlit foam, its steel a quiet mirror of a tidepool at dawn. The kurz steel gleams with a blue-green patina that shifts as light moves, like a shallow reef breathing beneath a patient observer. The edge bears micro-serrations that shimmer when the room catches a stray ray, as if the ocean itself had been shaved to a razor’s whisper. The guard curls into a curling crest, silver filigree tracing foam-white lines that read like a tide-chart’s handwriting. The grip is wrapped in leather the color of storm-wrung rope, worn smooth by years of confident hands, and at the pommel a shell-shaped cap hints at the weapon’s kinship with water and wind. Along the fuller, runes bloom in a pattern that resembles seaweed learning to write—runes that hum faintly when the blade is drawn, a distant thunder rolling across an open bay. It feels alive, not merely forged, as if a true storm had left a memory behind in its steel. Lore whispers of Tsunami as more than metal. Locals tell of shipwrights who carved it from a fallen ocean, tempered its temper with rain drawn from the eye of a hurricane, and etched the blade with patterns that mimic the spray and sigh of waves. Some say the weapon remembers every voyage that passed a reef and every ship swallowed by fog; others insist it carries a map to drowned cities, written in salt and echo. Whether truth or tale, the blade’s presence unsettles the room with a sense of current beneath the floorboards, as if the very room were a harbor watching a storm cross the horizon. In the hands it becomes a conductor of water’s will. A practiced swing slices the air and carries a spray of arc-light, a tidal ripple that pushes foes back as if the sea itself were nudging against the shore. A second, broader slash—the heart of Tsunami—unleashes a sweeping canyon of liquid light that carves a path through the crowd, dragging debris and momentum into a single, powerful wave. When the wielder leans into the weapon, a charged moment arrives and the field around them brightens with a storm’s breath: a ring of foam and light that heals allies as the current travels, a reminder that power here is not merely destruction but protection through the mercy of saltwater. The weapon’s rhythm invites a story beyond the blade’s edge—the kind of tale that turns a battlefield into a shoreline and a skirmish into a voyage. Market chatter threads through the scene as if the harbor itself breathes. I found Tsunami listed in Saddlebag Exchange, where traders whisper about scarcity and desirability, the price hovering behind a blue glow that waxes and wanes with the tide. It’s not just metal and magic; it’s a narrative price, a ledger of storms and hunts. The tag shifts with the moon’s mood and the market’s demand—sometimes a handful of gold, sometimes more, sometimes traded for rare shells or a compass that has seen more fog than coast. Still, the sense remains: Tsunami isn’t simply something you buy; it’s a story you carry, a reminder that every wave left behind a trace, and every buyer becomes part of the next wave’s own telling.
