A recap of what you learned (or theorized) might be helpful for the virtual Windblade.

Windblade:
It definitely would be helpful!

What you know of the slaying daggers:

The weapon of the deity Dedestroyt was once a great-serrated sword capable of slaying any creature that it wounded.  When Dedestroyt tried to kill Habastly, the deity of life, he swung the sword at the deity.  It failed to slay Habastly and was shattered into ten shards.  Various races around the world found the shards.  Every smithy that found a shard quickly realized the quality of the metal and was compelled to forge a dagger with the shard.  Ten daggers were forged, each with the ability to slay a different race and the daggers compel their wielder to do exactly that.  Legends say that if the daggers were all brought back together, they could be reunited, and Dedestroyt’s sword could be reformed.

The daggers that have been formed since the destruction of the sword are each devoted to the death of one of the following races: human, elf, dwarf, gnome, Gree, halfling, giant, dragon, orc, lizardfolk.  Each dagger is a +4 bane weapon and slays any member of the particular race.  The wielder of a dagger possesses all of the racial traits of the race the dagger is designed to slay, but is not considered to be a member of that race.  For example, the wielder of the elven slaying dagger would gain low-light vision and immunity to sleep-like effects, but would not be considered an elf for purposes of using elf-only magical items.

If all of the daggers were brought together, legend has it that they could be reformed into the original slaying sword.  That sword had the ability to slay any creature that it wounded.  Some bards say that this has been tried many times in the past, but no one has ever been able to collect more than seven of the daggers.  While some of the daggers have been seen and are possessed by an individual or nation, others haven’t been heard of or mentioned in centuries.
