Siolan weapon

Siolan Weapons were originally released as scripted daggers sold by the merchant Siolan, who is run by GM Xayle. 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). A shop selling a range of larger weapons bearing this script was released at Briarmoon Cove in February 2016.
