Misery's End

Misery's End is a true crystal scimitar and possible subtle knife artifact currently owned and operated by Trevor Goeler.

Function
Misery's End is currently a +4 true crystal scimitar which has been blood bonded to Trevor. The party believes that it could be used to cut apart the fabric of the planes if swung in a particular style in particular places.

In Aegis
Trevor first stole the scimitar off of an intruder in the golem manufactory where he worked. Since then it has remained in a copper plated combat scabbard of keening named Stormchild save for a handful of instances.

It was first drawn when Trevor claimed possession of it, at which point it cut him slightly and he became obsessed with it. The second time it was drawn was within the illithid ship, Afterthought, where it was shown to Sam and Mantis-Chan.

Crystal in Aegis
Every plane has at lease one Fate made from true crystal, which serves as its source of magical power. Somewhere in the northern part of the eastern continent is a fate which has been acting up, making the area extremely dangerous for habitation. Part of this disruption has been the gradual spread of corrupting crystals which cause madness in those who are exposed to them for any prolonged period of time. Even a brief interaction can be extremely unsettling. However these crystals possess a number of interesting properties which has led to them being farmed by individuals like Touliang. This is primarily done with golems as living creatures attempting to harvest the crystal usually die. The golems eventually become corrupted as well but they serve their purpose.
