Baragi and Dalbari are the twin star-forged blades wielded by the Hero King in Project Windless. They are crafted from Stariron, a metal exclusive to the Rekon race, at the legendary smithy known as the Final Forge. KRAFTON has confirmed both names in the official press release accompanying the State of Play reveal.

Combat Role
The twin-blade fighting style fits the one-versus-many combat the game is built around. The Hero King is a Rekon warrior standing roughly nine feet tall, and Baragi and Dalbari extend his reach further still. Wide arcing strikes catch multiple enemies at once, and the Rekon's strength and stature mean a single sweep can carry through more bodies than a smaller warrior could manage with a comparable weapon.
The reveal trailer showed the Hero King swinging both blades in flowing arc patterns that carve through enemy groups, sometimes following through into the environment itself. Mass Technology lets enemies react when those arcs land, so battlefield positioning matters as much as raw output: a poorly chosen swing can leave the Hero King flanked while a well-placed one can collapse an enemy line.
Stariron And The Final Forge
Both blades are forged of Stariron, a metal that, in the world of Lee Yeong-do's The Bird That Drinks Tears novels, is exclusive to the Rekon race. The Final Forge (also called the Last Blacksmith) is a legendary smithy where Rekon weapons are crafted. Whether the player visits the Final Forge during the game has not been confirmed by KRAFTON; it is established in the source novels as a real location of the era the game depicts.
In The Source Novels
Beyond the founding-era events depicted in Project Windless, Lee Yeong-do's novels describe a later fate for the twin blades that is worth noting for context but is not part of the game's confirmed scope:
In the source novels, after a battle in which a Nhaga warrior severed his sword-arm, the Hero King had the Last Blacksmith fuse Baragi and Dalbari into a single double-bladed weapon called Hope (sometimes rendered as Baragi). The fused weapon became the symbol of royal authority for the founding kingdom, and its eventual loss many generations later contributed to that kingdom's decline. Whether this fusion event happens during the game, in backstory, or in post-game material is not confirmed; the State of Play reveal showed only the twin-blade configuration.
In The Game
As of the State of Play 2026 reveal, Project Windless shows the Hero King with both Baragi and Dalbari in active use across multiple combat scenarios. The twin-blade form is the player's signature weapon for the founding-era story KRAFTON is building, and is one of the most visible elements of the Hero King's silhouette and combat identity. The Arajit Kingdom itself takes the twin blades as part of its founding iconography.
