In the slums of Vasteel, no weapon is more feared than a Laced Dagger. While seemingly mundane, these daggers can be easily concealed and they yield a lethal bite. If the initial cut doesn’t do its job, the poison covered blade will.
It’s no surprise that Laced Daggers are outlawed. The minimum sentence for being found with one is a year’s hard labor. Regardless, criminals continue to carry them and to find sly ways to keep them from being discovered.
