The Brown Scimitar of Galgenbeck
a stinking sword pulled from a military shit-ditch
d6 damage. dr10 attack and defence while wielded. 1-in-6 chance a wounded enemy is smitten with potent sepsis and dies in 10 minutes.
A Fanged Deserter pulled it from a latrine-trench outside the walls of Galgenbeck — what army camped there, and what hand let the blade fall in, is not asked. The brown does not wash off. It is not all rust.

Whose army's ditch? Whose blade originally? The sepsis-on-wound is mechanical but the cause is not specified — the rot of the trench, a curse, or some older alchemy bonded to the steel. Could connect to Inquisition purges or to a forgotten campaign in Wästland.
