This item appears in Shadows of Amn and the Enhanced Edition. It is found in The Planar Sphere, where one of the cannibalistic halflings named Necre drops the weapon when killed.

Description[]

Stiletto of Demarchess +2

Most who take up the trade of murder for hire do so for reasons other than personal pleasure, but not so the Lady Demarche. She took special pleasure in the torture of her targets...which is why she made this dagger. With but one touch of its polished blade an opponent was rendered immobile, incapable of so much as screaming, yet the victim could watch and feel all that happened to them. While her opponent was thus held, the Lady would slowly bleed them, sometimes taking several hours before allowing her subject to succumb to the final agony of death. The Lady finally fell victim to her own evil; disarmed by a rival and struck by her own Stiletto her fate was soon sealed.
