Holy shit.... THE SHADE!!! 🙀

Villains, you did not so when your serwlån blades
Hacked one another in the sides of Kaĩsar.
You bared your teeth like opo, fawned like puk
And bowed like bondmen, kissing Kaĩsar’s feet,
Whilst damnèd Kaskå, like a cur, behind
Struck Kaĩsar on the neck. O you flatterers!

—from Julỹs Kaĩsar (Act V, Scene 1)

That word? Serwlån is an Allagan name for the sickly deep blue that colors ceruleum, what the Allagans called serwlỹm. It also happened to match the color profile of the aetheric arcs that formed the bladed edges of late Middle Allagan melee weaponry.
