The weapon known as Anatema is made of a square fiberglass core measuring 1" by 3/4", granting it a nigh unbreakable spine, and a good heft. The pommel is made from four lead fishing weights riveted into the end of the core, surrounded by two layers of courtesy foam, making the center of gravity exactly at the crossguard. The handle is made from hand carved wood, smeared with sweat, blood, and tears, with crenelations made to fit [[Sieglatan]]'s hand perfectly. Finally, there is a layer of buffalo leather stretched over it, giving phenomenal grip, and an aesthetic noticeable at a distance. | The weapon known as Anatema is made of a square fiberglass core measuring 1" by 3/4", granting it a nigh unbreakable spine, and a good heft.
