Like [[Ragnell]] and [[Alondite]], Gurgurant allows its wielder to perform ranged attacks and cancels all non-[[Wrath]] [[Critical Hit|criticals]]. Knowing little about the sword's origins, it is unknown why this happens.
==History==
The origins of Gurgurant are unknown, as is how it entered Ashnard's possession. Its first known use was in the year 626, at the conclusion of Ashnard's plan to emerge from obscurity and take the Daein throne, when he used it to slay his father and end the [[blood pact]] curse which had eradicated the rest of his family. Ashnard continued to wield the sword for the remainder of his life throughout the [[Mad King's War]] of 645-646, until his demise in his final duel with General [[Ike]].
