"This cursed weapon was found in the North," Mr. Pratt explained as he opened a black box. Inside was a dagger that looked used and old. She immediately noticed the dried blood on its jagged and rough blade. "Just touching the dagger could give the holder a curse.

We wrapped it with silk from a demonic spider monster so that the holder would not cut their hands."
