A Darkstar Axe is a darkstar melee weapon that has been fashioned into the shape of the razor-edged battleaxes favoured by many Kin warriors. Darkstar Axes are a favoured weapon of Einhyr Champions.
Darkstar Weapons are a class of close combat weapons wielded by the military forces of the Leagues of Votann that are crafted from the unique ore known as darkstar. Melee weapons forged from darkstar are considered the most lethal in the armouries of the Kin.
Perhaps the most feared of Kin melee weapons are those that employ darkstar ore, mined from the fringes of the Dead Zones of the galactic core. This inimical material emits a universal damping field through unknown means that shuts down organic metabolic and even electro-mechanical functions on contact.
It is worked into Kin weaponry with the greatest of care by the Brôkhyr who specialise in crafting it and wielded with equal gravitas, for the slightest cut from a darkstar weapon's blade can end the victim's life as if a switch had been pulled.
