Jingni Sword

Blade of the Startled Giant Salamander

One of the Yue king’s eight blades, its flash likened to a leaping leviathan.

Jingni, the “Startled Whale,” is one of the eight swords of the King of Yue, its flash compared to a great fish leaping from the depths. The name turns a weapon into a sea creature — sudden, immense and gone before the eye can follow.
