|look=The craftsmanship of the bastard sword was superb for its time.  A faded black leather-wrapped hilt is cupped at the end with a small blood-red ruby pommel bearing noticeable scrapes from use.  The darkened steel blade bears visible chips and notches from chisels, as well as battles in the distant past.
