The Shadowblade of the Dark Mistress
The Dark Mistress is an incredibly powerful succubus who has dominion of the realms of desire and shadow. From her nocturnal fortress, she holds sway over all secret lovers who use the cover of darkness to hide their infidelities.
On the mortal realms the Dark Mistress is worshiped by an organization of assassins known as the Evening Shades, who use brothels and houses of ill repute as their lair. The three leaders of the Evening Shades wield specially crafted shortsword forged with enchantments to also the wielder to become like the shadows of the Dark Mistress, confuse opponents and charm victims.
It is unclear if the Dark Mistress has guided her followers to create these legendary weapons, but the Shadowblades often carry her name.
