Lore

“

As an oversized farming implement, the reaper's scythe does not lend itself to jabs and thrust, instead requiring the strength of one's whole body to sweep the blade as required. Performing these slices accurately and effectively demands a level of proficiency only achieved through years of rigorous training.
