Khratash

Khratash, or the Claw of Extinction, is an ancient dagger.
==History==
Much of the history of this dagger is unknown, although it is mentioned in ancient sand elf myths thousands of years old. Most Stargazers believe that the powers of the dagger are not a result of a Vessel, although this is still disputed as there is also general scholarly consensus that the creation of such a thing would be beyond the abilities of the Lord of the Wastes. It is not known to what creature the bone belonged, if indeed the strange material was once part of something that lived. Throughout history servants of the Lords of Dust have performed terrible rituals and sacrifices to the Desolate One using it, until eventually it was taken in battle from a sand elf warlord by the Corhyrians, and eventually found its way to Silvio Valantos. 
==Description==
The dagger appears unassuming, a jagged curved blade that is always cold to the touch. It is made from a material that resembles bone or perhaps petrified flesh, but its properties do not match the bones of any known creatures. any of the powers of this malevolent weapon remain a matter of speculation, but what is known is that any creature that sheds blood to it can never bring forth offspring, and in the moment of the cut all of their living descendants are also slain.
==In the Campaign==
With some assistance from Yurian Darkheart, Silvio attempted to sell the dagger to Vantis and Lannus after he fled Lyrelda. Before any agreement was made, however, the dagger was stolen by rakshasas (later revealed to be working for Sreshtu). Vantis, Lannus and Rexxar later learned that Ahiravan could use the dagger in a ritual to summon the Lord of the Wastes (involving a mortal ceremonially using the knife to kill the last living specimen of a race upon the Altar of the Apocalypse). Sreshtu confronted them with this information, warning that if he were to die or to will it then the dagger would fall into the hands of Ahiravan.
