Lore

As elegant as the blacksteel katana itself, the sheathes crafted to accompany these weapons are works of art in their own right. Each blacksmith personalizes the design, often according to the customer’s wishes, but a common motif includes black ropes and leather strips wrapped around sections of the sheath in intricate patterns. These are frequently adorned with small, non-magical gems that match the color of the infused magic gem or crystal, highlighting the blade's elemental affinity.

Some warriors use this decorative aspect to deceive opponents by adorning the sheath with gems of a different color than the actual magic infused within the blade. This subtle misdirection can be a tactical advantage, as misleading an opponent about the katana's true elemental affinity can shift the balance in battle or influence critical interactions.
