==== ''Zephath Blades'' ====
Soris’ keen mind and the zeal of the nation’s people would not be enough to fend off so many foes. That is why Soris, using the power of Hawass, created the Zephath blades. These weapons give off a faint chill and those close to the blades have reported a distinct lack of taste.

A Zephath blade uses the life force of the wielder to empower its strikes. It can turn a normal soldier into a killing machine worth five veterans. However, the cost is high. A regular swing will visibility age the average person by one to two years. After a battle, an army of Qis soldiers made up of young recruits might resemble a nursing home.

The Zephath blades have also given way to foul insinuations against the Qis. A child of seven, after a few swings of a sword, can appear twenty-five. Intelligence within the Eshai Caliphate notes that, while an uncommon practice, their own researchers have encountered people who describe the forced aging and use of child soldiers. Soris denies this saying that if this were true, the nations along the Sea of Screams would already be dead.
