The Blade of the Black Chrysanthemum

"The weapon appears as a grand daiklave of unusual length and slimness. Etchings of chrysanthemum blossoms spangle the lower part of the blade. It is forged of an exotic black metal of indeterminate origin. The immortal funerist-hero Quenzhang, who wielded the blade to great effect in the Calin-Sijan War, wrote that it had 'the feel of a relic blade, of which I have borne many in my time; but the sun’s touch does it no harm, and so I must conclude that it is a real and tangible thing whose nature is beyond my understanding, a thing neither living nor dead.'" -- The Lexicon of Elder Days

Can't decide if it should be Artifact 5 or NA, but I'm leaning toward NA, since it's supposed to have been the work of a Yozi. I wonder how it'll react to the Heart of Pontoppidan.
