"Falx" can also refer to the inventor Jonas Falx. It is not known what role Falx played in the introduction of this weapon.

Item description :
The creatures hide metal in their flesh and their blood flows like sludge. A simple sword will not do here.

This description suggests that the weapon was designed to fight drifters . The mention of metallic flesh parallels historical reports of Romans needing to modify their armor against falx-wielding Dacian forces.

Jonas Falx is a very important character in the game's story. Several Lore Books mention his name, but most important of all is the five-part narrative entitled Reflection .
