Siolan weapons were originally released as scripted daggers sold by the merchant Siolan, who was run by GM Xayle. They debuted at Ebon Gate in 2005. The script was updated by GMs Xayle and Haliste to support a wider range of weapons, including polearms, blunts, and larger edged weapons (both one-handed and two-handed).
