Ashandarei are strange and mystical weapons from one of the lost civilizations of Crepus. Their existence is noted in several of the histories and they are therefore considered part of the cultural history and not relics of the dragons.

What makes the Ashandarei such a strange weapon is not only it's design but the material it is made from. The weapon appears to be a stone staff mounted with a short sword blade (sometimes straight, sometimes curved ), with the whole thing being approximately 5 to 6 feet tall. When lifted, the weapons is incredibly light and easy to manuever. This is because the shaft is made from the mysterious Orihalcum material.

If the legends are to be believed, the weapons were made by a race of beings who were small and nimble, not known for their strength, but constantly plagued by larger enemies. These weapons were made from material that took advantage of their speed, and actually worked against their opponents strength should they acquire them.

The Elves have several of these weapons in their armory. They do not give off any magical aura even with the strongest detection spells.
