Weapon overview
Dewelion
Long Blades · Grace · Rare
A Fey warrior's gloryblade. Dewelion is a word of the ancient Fey tongue meaning something like 'horizon' — a confluence of opposites where day and night may meet. For a human steelsinger to have sung these delicate pieces back to former glory is an impossible confluence indeed. Requires Grace 19 and Spirit attunement. Fragments drop from the Fort Kearnhold Siege (burn the Skylantern) and Collector Crates. Craft at Tuvalkane with Gossamer Quartz×15 and Moranite×6. Post-Preludes 15: 48 ATK, 32 poise break. Alternative Grace rapiers include Vella and the Mirifuir siege line.
Marrow's Bane is a Rare Long Blade cleaver requiring 21 Courage, forged from the claws of the great Vadagar Bear under Bromius's pact. With 54 base ATK, 40 stagger, and 5% smite, it is the highest stagger weapon among Courage cleavers in Preludes 15 — ideal for stun-locking bosses and exploiting charged attack windows. Farm 3 fragments from Vadagar Bear (a Bromius pact Omen beast encounter). Craft at Tuvalkane with Patch Leather and Moranite. Purchase from Avakot for 250 Dracs. Marrow's Bane is the endgame Courage cleaver that Stultin (53 ATK, 16 Courage) and Falx (54 ATK, 12 Courage) build toward. The five sharpened spires on the blade evoke the teeth of the Omen Bear itself, dripping with primal power. Pairs synergistically with Bromius pact abilities and Tethren melee bruiser builds that capitalize on 40 stagger for repeated knockdown loops. The lore describes it as a menacing cleaver wielded by the Arbearer Bromius, with a darkly humorous pact condition: protect the old roots yet to heal, or pick your teeth after a good meal. Essential for high-Courage builds targeting Omen beast graces and Neath'uns content.
