## Base Description

The single edged sword with a slight curve resembles that of a katana, sheathed in a scabbard made of what appears to be blood stained bone, but the age of this artifact makes it incredibly difficult to decipher what materials it is crafted from. The guard and hilt are made of a dark metal and are wrapped. If one is so bold as to draw the blade, it is wreathed in clouds and fumes of dark clouds that spark red lightning. Streaks of psionic lightning leap toward you, writhing toward you like tendrils. The blade itself appears to be a sharpened edge of a blade tempered in the raging storm of chaos itself giving Zerath a reddish tone that swirls with colors you cannot normally perceive.

## Mortal Blade

Zerath is so powerful that even drawing the sword itself has the potential to consume the very life force of the wielder. Whenever a wielder makes an attack, they must roll the Mortal Blade’s hard save. The save starts at 10+, but for each time an attack is made with the blade, entropy hungers. With each successful attack, the save increases by +2 for the wielder. The pattern goes 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.

If this save is failed, the blade consumes the wielder’s life force, automatically brining their hit points to 0.

## Abilities

### Mortal Blade

Any target struck by Zerath cannot regain hp for the remainder of the encounter. This effect cannot be reversed. Targets slain by a mortal weapon cannot be resurrected (This does not include the Entropy Hungers save). Zerath can kill godly beings and is one of the few weapons capable of killing a star.

### Timesplitter

Zerath has a +5 to hit bonus. The wielder may also teleport after making an attack.

### Time Knife

Attacks made with Entropy's Razor have their crit range expanded by 2.

### Base Damage Dice

Entropy's Razor has a base damage dice of d12.

## Legendary Lore

The red dragon pirates known as the Get’zu were the thorn in the Aedellion’s side, and in their journey amongst the stars, they had split into factions as new philosophies challenged their ways. The Zerath are one such group that sought enlightenment and balance through learning the secrets of the Void. Their prophet, who their name is derived from, forged the Mortal Blade from the iron of a dead star’s core. So strong is the Mortal Blade that it hungers for the life force of those bold enough to wield it.

The Chaos Razor is capable of distorting the veil of the realms, and it strikes at the very essence of entropy within one. It is the only weapon capable of killing a star. According to legend, Da'akon forged the blade in order to slay Queen Cor Skyheart, permanently.
