DESCRIPTION
There are other weapons of legend besides the fabled Dark Saber or Mand'alor's Bes'kad. One subtle example are the throwing knives made of pure beskar. Called the werda'kar in archaic Mando'a, or shadow blades in GSB, they appear as not one but six throwing knives of masterful craftsmanship. Each of them appear to have a damascus design hinting at a unique forging of the set millennia ago.

The original set consisted of six double edged and balanced blades crafted at the request of Mandalorian of clan Solus, Koil Solus. On each knife, a small etching of a badger paw print is placed on either side of the handle. What's more, small runes are rumored to have a code written in Mando'a that only make sense when they are all collected. Some say it's just a love poem, others the names of killed Jedi or Sith, some say that there aren't any runes on it to begin with. One thing is clear, the tools of violence haven't been seen in hundreds of years. These small weapons are the tools of death used thousands of years ago and easily forgotten to time.

After the set of throwing blades were crafted, Koil gifted them to his fellow clan member and leader, Raz Solus, a.k.a. Mand'alore the Chosen. She would have them in her possession until her death on Mandalore. But in the wake of the Sith's destruction the knives were not recovered from her home. Lily Solus, her daughter, would eventually get the werda'kar back after the original commissioner returned them. Being a forge master, she had the ability to modify the weapons and add scripture to the weapons, her own personal touch.

INTENT
Beskar is kinda clutch and I think that makes good sense for a throwing vibroblade (or several equevent). A trusty knife is just old school and with some Mandalorian site history added to it. I want to had some variety to the artifacts available on the site and this could lead to a lot of interesting threads. I wanted to add a bit of mystery as to what they could lead to too.
