Muram Side-weapons


The Muram cultural weapons are known for their association of assassination and their motif of their native animals are seen in the designs. 


Nakhu Blade

 The Muram Curveblade is formed like a wide bird's wing, this particle design was developed by the calverymen in the outskirt savannah of the clan, being slightly longer than the standard curveblade. Swooped for a smooth decapitation by the swift riders and when used in close combat, their techniques are flexible for traditional slashes or unorthodox reverse-grip for sweeps and stealthy throat-cutting, incorporating well for the clan's martial arts, but it have been compared to a butcher's blade by those unfamiliar with its required techniques.



Sergetti Blade

 This particular weapon is shaped after the stinger of a Sergetti, a breed of Sangheilian scorpion in the Helian Desert feared for its deadly venom. Half the size of a standard curveblade, it is often compared to a energy sword with a shorter blade, and disregarded often. However, the Muram don't use this blade for direct combat often, more for stealth assignments due to its more functional use as a thrusting weapon. Piercing through the body with its longer blade, but if that doesn't kill them the hollowed core of the lower blade will drip out actual Sergetti venom into the wound from the syringe-like tip. 


Hook-Blade

 The Muram crafted another variant of their curveblades, in this case, the hook-blade is made to catch and grip onto their elusive prey-animal or otherwise. Often utilized by assassins from behind or above, their techniques are often acrobatic and always mobile to keep the enemy guessing which hook will be coming. In addition to its natural assassin capabilities, its metal is strong enough and design made to enable head-on combat, the most noticeable feature is the spike over the U-shaped handgrip to protect the hands from sliding blades while the grip is made for fluid handling. 

Hasiss'asin Knife

 A distinctive weapon of the Muram's infamous-and respected-Hasiss'asin, an ancient sect of assassins who are apart of the clan's Paragon Disciplines and their cause, the students of Hasi the Paragon of the Hunt. Designed in the form of two dawn-falcons back to back and their folded wings forming the blade's tip while their curved beaks are blunt. The blade is made for precise thrusts with paralyzing venom from a personally-caught dumakii viper (paralyzing to a healthy Sangheili, nerve-damaging to a unaugmented human) and commonly they have a sturdy silken rope to throw the knife like a rope-dart with its 'beaked' guards used to be kicked for greater velocity.

 Muram Claws

 While Muram talons are deadly enough on their own, many prefer to use these fierce weapons to protect their hands and claws from being damaged in combat, and in more practical use, for picking the meat from bones during meals.These weapons are often used for in the martial art schools of S'et-sanitii ("Art of the Storm") and Swt-sanitii ("Art of the Shadow") with a primal inspiration from the feared Helian Prowler, feline predators who have been a respected prey of the Muram clan since the exodus into their current homeland.
