kitari

In the Red Rising Saga, the kitari emerges in Iron Gold as a short secondary razor, ingeniously drawn from the belt and serving as the ideal companion to the hasta in the brutal combat arenas of the Society's elite. This compact weapon underscores the series' evolution toward more intricate and specialized armaments, reflecting the escalating tactical sophistication of duels among Golds. Though its role remains niche across the saga, the kitari symbolizes the razor-sharp precision demanded in the shifting power struggles of a crumbling empire.
