Kitari and hasta first appear in Dark Age as the signature weapons of the Republic’s elite Obsidian warriors, pairing short, curved blades with long, spear-like razors. Their practical design—short swords for close-quarters brutality and hasta for reach—reflects the Obsidians’ evolving role from enslaved shock troops to disciplined, self-reliant soldiers. Across the saga, these weapons become symbols of Obsidian autonomy and martial identity, marking the transition from ceremonial gladiatorial arms to battlefield-standard kit for a people forging their own destiny.
