Birth Blade

In Lar'khiss culture, all Lar'khiss are born warriors. It is ancient tradition for their kind to begin training from an incredibly early age, and are introduced to a variety of weapons. When an individual has found the weapon with which they are most adept at using, it becomes their main training instrument for the years to come. When Lar'khiss reach young adulthood, and have completed their required training, they are "reborn", and become full fledged members of society, recognized as a fellow warrior by all. In the months, and in exceptionally rare cases years, leading to their acceptance ceremony, master bladesmiths begin working on what will become the graduate's most prized possession; their Birth Blade. Weapons of extraordinary quality and importance, a birth blade is thee symbol of a lizardmen's skill and honor, and is made in the specific weapon type with which they specialized in.
Losing one's Birth Blade is considered one of the most grave dishonors, and is used as the most severe form of punishment, for a Lar'khiss, dishonor is a fate worse than death.
