	This scimitar has very little pre-Alexandrian history, as it was forged in 182 [[BI]] as a symbol of the rising prominence of the Maimun family. As this successful merchant-marine family bought its way into the Petran upper-crust, it commissioned the scimitar to help to build the trappings of nobility. The status of this family was cemented when Sayid, through violent military coup, ascended to the Petran throne, and proceeded to guide the nation through decades of prosperity. While Sayid passed his office and many of his artifacts to his adopted son [[Mikos Lygit]], he chose to keep the Crescent in the hands of his blood family with the Empress Hadiya, where it remains today.
