<strong>DM: The two swords Mira examines are both magical in nature, though the exact nature of that magic is not evident from a cursory examination. Despite their wrought iron design, which lines up with the aesthetic of the currently closed gateway. Each blade has notches in it's hilt though, which appear to be designed to function with some currently unknown mechanism. Given their placement, and that the statues are close at hand, it seems likely that they need to be placed in the statues in some manner, though given how the swords were laid haphazard along the ground, its not clear which one goes with each statue.<br/><br/>The short sword appears to be infernal design, with it's twisted face on the hilt bearing the horns of a devil or demon, while the leather work and overall aesthetic of the weapon are fitting for such a creature. When held, the bearer hears the slight sound of a crackling flame, which seems all too close at hand.<br/><br/>The scimitar on the other hand, seems wholly alien.  The design aesthetic of it seems at the very limit of what a human framed person could use, and it features glyphs of arcane writing that seem to shift and change each time it is viewed. At the same time, the bearer of the weapon will hear the low hiss of the tide while the weapon is held in hand. </strong>
