Trivia
- According to the Torsti, the set's designer, Tarix's blades were intended to be able to combine into a shield. For this reason, the "pommel" of the blades bend to one side, allowing them to overlap. However, in the final design this is not universally possible through the intended means due to some blades being mirrored as a result of miscommunication.[2] This can also be seen on the prototype used for some previsual commercials.[3][4]
