Segmented Blade

Long Segmented Blade

Lemig goblin weapon used by a maddened soldier to finish Luke and then cut his own throat.

Story so far

During The Ballroom Massacre, a soldier possessed by Shi Maria's Insanity walks up to the legless Luke as he drags himself toward the exit and stabs him in the back with a long, segmented blade. He pulls the blade out, takes two steps, and pulls it across his own throat.

The weapon is the chapter's clearest image of how the Insanity spell works: not mindless flailing but purposeful, methodical violence turned inward — the same pattern Commander Stockade repeats hours later on the floor of his own ballroom.

Appearance

A long blade of segmented construction, standard issue among Lemig castle soldiers.

Role

The weapon that killed Luke and its own wielder under Insanity.
