Jingizu / Sorrow
Item from Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams
Sorrow — a sword of witchwood and black iron that should not exist, forged by a grieving Sithi prince using forbidden magic that killed him, named in the moment he struck down his own father.
Also known as: Jingizu, Sorrow
What They Know
- Forged from witchwood and black iron using the Words of Making — materials and magic that should never have been combined
- Black iron cuts through spells and once hurt Gardenborn at mere touch — the blade is anathema to magical beings
- Bound to Ineluki through the spells used in its forging — the sword is an extension of the Storm King's will
- Drains the wielder — Elias's physical and mental deterioration directly correlates with his time holding Sorrow
- Named after Ineluki killed his own father with it — the name is both a description and a confession
