I put together a fairly coherent theory regarding Napper (for Pathfinder), Teldra (for Godslayer), and 'the lack thereof' (for Blackwand).  I'm sure you can find it in the files somewhere, but if anyone wants a personal copy, I'm sure I can dig one up.  Regarding the aforementioned Morganti dagger, Vlad indicates that it is a -very- strong Morganti weapon -- 'Not a Great Weapon, but a Pretty Good Weapon', as he puts it during one fight or another.  After all, the Jenoine expected it to be used on the Goddess Verra, and expected it to discommode her...
