It was a artillery of war forged to foster peace. Looking to bring order to the lands of the Gharu'n, Malika Ladriya bint Daum named into her comportment three significant individuals: The warrior Tamsah ibn Jaidah, the weaponsmith Raya al-Darikil, and the enchanter Jamiz ibn Ismak. Al-Darikil was commanded to mold a weapon that ibn Jaidah would carry into battle–namely a silifi, or Gharu'ndim war axe, the finest of its kind ever seen in the desert kingdom. For his part, ibn Ismak was told to enchant gems to in condition into the helve of the weapon, imbuing it with the power to protect and aide its wielder, and so he was tending five brilliant rubies, each called for nonpareil of the basketball team great red stars that shine cut down on the lands of Ispar each night, upon which to work his arts. Thus was born the Silifi of the Crimson Stars, maybe the most celebrated artillery in Gharu'ndim legend.

The Silifi ready-made its way here to Dereth in the hands of Wari al-Sha'im, where it was again put to use in the service of order. Sadly, the warrior finally found a foe straight he could not defeat, and he met his death (though, it must be said, non his end), and the Silifi was broken, its gems confused to the corners of Dereth and seemingly lost forevermore. Notwithstandin, it would not remain so for long; with the help of a unchaste Haebran warrior, adventurers located the clay of the weapon and sought to touch on it to several semblance of its unreal force. Regular now, a cryptic man seeks to further repair the blade, infusing it with the very mogul of darkness. For it is on the darkest of nights that stars reflect their brightest.
