	The Black Scythe, also ~~knows~~ as the Usurper Blade, is an ancient and powerful cursed scimitar whose ultimate origins are shrouded in mystery.

The Black Scythe, also known as the Usurper Blade, is an ancient and powerful cursed scimitar whose ultimate origins are shrouded in mystery. The blade rose to prominence in the hands of [[Sayid ibn Maimun]], a member of [[Alexandria]]'s [[First Stand]]. It is believed by many people both learned and otherwise that the blade is still active, and simply chooses to remain in the shadows because it is infamous and easily recognizable (which complicates its disruptive agenda).

	The origins of the Scythe are unknown, but some obvious facts can be inferred. What is known is that it was initially discovered in one of the few remaining tribes of servitor [[Naga]] in the service of [[Arek]] and the [[Dark Fiend]]. Stylistically, the blade appears to be a Dark Naga artifact, as scimitars were popular weapons among them and its black and green coloring is consistent with their fashion. Its enchantments and its activities at the time suggest an ambitious purpose--that it was forged to overthrow the [[Demi-Pantheon]] in service of the chaotic Dark Fiend, or perhaps even dated from the [[First War]].
