- — Vertikus, a Sangheili weapons dealer[1]
The burnblade was a Sangheili sword common in the Covenant's early history. They were manufactured by Sangheili living on Sanghelios' moon of Qikost. Burnblades were forged from metal and heated from within to deal devastating damage to targets. When active, the intense heat caused the weapon's metal blade to glow red from within. At a short distance, the burnblade's heat could scorch the exposed skin of any nearby individual.[1]
While seemingly long-abandoned by the mainline Sangheili, burnblades continued to be in use by the Sangheili Ussans of the Refuge colony well into the modern times. By 2552, few of the burnblades in the colony remained functioning.[2] The weapons were used in the Ussan floatfighting sport, though lethal attacks were generally avoided.[3]
