The Sovereign Blade of Light
Aethelgard
- Origin
- Forged in the First Age from the molten core of a fallen star, quenched in the tears of a grieving goddess.
- Blade
- A flawless white-gold knight sword, half translucent, rippling with an inner solar fire and holy runes along the fuller.
- Hilt
- Outstretched angel wings holding a tear-shaped sapphire; white leather grip bound in gold wire; a crown pommel with a solar crystal.
It gives off a constant, warm aura of holy light that cures madness, repels dark magic and shields allies from fear. It cannot be wielded by ambition or anger: its true power wakes only for pure, selfless hope. Aveline has seen it in her dreams, buried in a ruin no map shows.
