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
