Back to Famous Weapons of Battal

Annkha's Sword of Spreading

Forged by the famed Culimancer, Just Annkha.

Forged on a dusty morning just before breakfast and quenched in orange juice, this mighty sword is barely four inches long. Some have laughed in scorn at its apparent bluntness, but its small size and lack of sharp edge belie is destructive potential. For when in the presence of toast, the sword-wielder is compelled to spread butter with unsurpassed speed and savagery.

Sages have speculated that this item was created for peaceful purposes - however, it has been perverted for use in battle. Unscrupulous warlords have rained toast down upon their foes with specially-adapted catapults, driving the wielder of the Sword of Spreading into a terrifying frenzy of spreading and death. Entire formations of screaming barbarian warriors have been wiped out - literally spread to death by this dimunitive magical item.

Annkha's Sword of Spreading appears briefly in Book 8, when Harbinger Portent uses it to viciously butter an entire tribe of angry War Men who foolishly allowed themselves to be manipulated into holding semi-burnt toast and lying down.

It is vitally important that if you encounter this item on no account have toast upon your person. You have been warned.
