Ungarato is one of the most powerful known relics of lost
Golarion, though even greater artifacts have occasionally
appeared throughout Absalom Station's history. Ungarato,
also called the All-Consuming Killer or the Gun of Gluttony, is
known to be one of the Alara'hai, seven weapons of nearly
divine magical power that were also referred to as the Seven
Blades of Conviction or the Seven Swords of Sin. Although
the fates of the other six Alara'hai remain unknown, these
epithets imply that Ungarato was once a sword of some kind,
though when, how, and why this blade was reforged into a
powerful machine gun with a bayonet is one of the relic's
greatest mysteries.
Much of Ungarato's history is lost, though scholars have
shown that the weapon was created in its original form
thousands of years before the Gap. The Arcanamirium's
most learned esotericists agree that Ungarato's origin lies
in ancient Thassilon, an empire ruled by spellcasting tyrants
called runelords, which collapsed at the beginning of the
period of Golarion's history known as the Age of Darkness. It
is also generally agreed that the weapon's intended wielder
was the Runelord of Gluttony, but a ferocious warrior stole
the blade before it ever reached the runelord's hands.
This barbarian warlord later became the champion of the
runelord's successor, and it is believed that Ungarato took
its name from this champion. Nothing definitive is known of
Ungarato's fate after the fall of Thassilon.
Ungarato has a distinct appearance that is unlike any other
specific model of longarm. It has a misty, spectral quality,
but the weapon is as solid as any other. Ungarato functions
as a paragon X-gen gun, and its bayonet is a molecular rift
dueling sword, both of which have the ghost killer fusion.
Two hands are required to wield Ungarato, and proficiency
with basic melee weapons and heavy weapons is necessary
to use the weapon without penalty for melee and ranged
attacks, respectively.
Ungarato glows with a bright, sickly green color
whenever there is a creature of the undead type within 50
feet of its wielder, though the weapon gives no indication of
the direction or number of undead within that range. Each
time its wielder suffers the full effects of a critical hit (when
damage reduction, energy resistance, or some other effect
does not reduce the damage dealt or prevent any critical
hit effect), Ungarato gains 1 point of viciousness. Whenever
Ungarato scores a critical hit, it automatically spends 1 point
of viciousness (if it has any) and adds the severe wound
critical hit effect to the critical damage dealt. Any unused
points of viciousness fade at the rate of 1 per hour. Ungarato
also restores 10 Hit Points to its wielder (functioning as per
mystic cure) each time it scores a critical hit (whether or not
it has any points of viciousness).
Ungarato is a unique artifact of extreme power and
legendary reputation; as such, the weapon is effectively
priceless and cannot simply be purchased. Indeed, its current
owner and whereabouts are unknown, though Ungarato is
widely believed to have resurfaced recently somewhere on
Absalom Station. Legend claims that Ungarato was once
sentient and held great powers that only functioned in the
hands of a Thassilonian runelord, but there's no modern
evidence to support either claim. Similarly, it is believed that
only the rightful Runelord of Gluttony can break the weapon;
Ungarato is otherwise impervious to damage or destruction.
