Aelf's Dagger (also referred to as the Dragon Blade in the video playback menu) is one of the Holy Relics, one of the most treasured possessions of Aelf, and the key to Raquia. It's actually used as a ranged weapon, shooting a powerful magical flash whose potency increases exponentially to the number of recharges, as visualized by the six cross symbols on the top segment of the HUD.
Aelf's Dagger is obtained in Hawk's Prison just before first meeting Belial. Adam must open either of two doors in the chamber using a Chalice. Behind one door is Eternity, Sword of the Dragon, but picking it up will result in a premature ending, where Belial will kill Adam shortly after picking it up. Behind the other door is Aelf's Dagger, which must be picked up instead of Eternity to progress the story.
The origins of this thrusting weapon are not clear, though Rebecca speculates it could be Indian. Apart from her vague estimation, Aelf's Dagger shows similarities to the Jambiya, a short curved blade of Arabian origin, as well as the Kris, a rippled though slightly slimmer type of blade, indigenous to Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Southern Thailand and the southern Philippines.
Inspired by Rebecca's comment on the design, I did some more research into the Indian and Persian varieties of daggers, and came across this Deccan Bikaner All Steel Chilanum Khanjarli Dagger from the 16th century, which to my humble estimation closely resembles Aelf's weapon. The dagger features intriguing chiseling and detail, and spans 18 inches in total, while the blade itself is 12 inches long. The image on the right side is courtesy of Arms and Antiques.

Adam: Odd blade. Curved. Apart from being a key to enter Raquia, it helped us against Belial. Took his face clean off. |
