Bladewringer
One who wrings a bladed weapon, a bladewringer denotes a genuine practitioner of the Chaos cult custom proscribed in modern times and connotes a worshiper of Chaos. A bladewringer takes a sharp sword-blade in his palms and by means of his dedication to and protection by the divinities of Chaos suffers no arm, his flesh pressing against the sharpness without slicing the skin.
The practice of bladewringing is banned under penalty of death in most nations of the Pallathantic which subscribe to the Accord of the Princes of Law. The pandancer is held to be nearly as abhorrent in such lands.
A bladewringing sword can mean either a regular sword used for the cult practice or a hiltless sword used for actual combat, the blade ending on both ends with sharp points and the bearer holding one without harm. The latter meaning is the more frequent in use.
