The Shadow Blades

During a trip deep into the ruins of humanity, a young student came across an ancient, mouldering bundle of parchments. On the pages of those scrolls were secrets of great power. But after she read them, the ancient parchments crumbled to dust. Its words burned into her mind, she spent the next few days wandering through the wastes, looking for something, not knowing what. After countless battles with hellish infected, she found what she was searching for. When she left that place - she was... 'changed', and she wielded a powerful new weapon - The Shadow Blade. She returned to the city and told others what she had discovered. Most of the citizens thought her crazy and mocked her. But there were a few who wanted to know the secrets contained on that parchment now known as the Shadow Scrolls. Those few learned how to forge their own swords, and became masters of The Blade. Entering a Zen-like state during combat, witnesses say that these blades appear to meld with their wielder.
The Shadow Blades were born...
