As transcribed from the books of the Cabilis historians...
During the reign of Emperor Ganak Sathir, a lowly scholar by the name of Dag studied under the resigned Emperor Atrebe Sathir, master of sorcery. After the untimely passing of Atrebe, Dag began his study of the forbidden circles, wizardry, enchantry and magery. Before long, he took a liking to the ways of the wizard.
He kept his studies to himself, ignoring the laws of Kotiz. He became the Blasphemer of the Brood. Most of his studies were held in private, with only a Sarnak slave called Kly to assist in his experiments. But, Dag's secret was soon to be revealed to all.
Dag was commissioned to create a magical dagger to be personally used by Sebilisian warlord Kurn Machta. Its craftsmanship would allow for only a warrior as skilled as Kurn to master its use. Dag travelled to Kurn’s outpost to begin his work. With him went the slave Kly, dragging behind it a magical forge belonging to the Haggle Baron Dalnir.
While Dag was away, the Brood stumbled upon his journal and its records of his secret obsession. The Brood sent word to Kurn to have Dag destroyed.
Kurn allowed Dag to complete the forging of the blade and the placing of its enchantments, but when Kurn believed the dagger complete, he shackled Dag and tested his new weapon upon the very belly of the Blasphemer.
Kurn found the dagger to be surprisingly effective, but had killed Dag before the final few enchantments were placed upon it. It was to be returned to the Brood. The dagger never arrived back in Sebilis. The Crusader party transporting it, as well as Kly, the slave pulling Dalnir's Forge, vanished without a trace.
It is assumed that the blade and its carriers were cursed by Thule for carrying a weapon created by heretical magics. To avoid further wrath, all of Dag’s property and creations were burned.
