Lore

If this weapon is named a Falx, it is probably because of the inventor Jonas Falx.

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 created to fight drifters in a more efficient way than with ordinary swords. We do not know if Jonas Falx designed the weapon himself.

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 .
