The Blades of Fate

There were three great blades forged in antiquity - blades that were built to be or simply became instruments of fate, steeped in legends and shaping the futures of both their weilders and the world.

Each blade came from a different origin, but each, nonetheless, carries with it the impossible weight of purpose.

The Reaver of Sky:

A mighty sword, legend holds that its mirrored, black blade was made of metoric iron, crafted by the Dvarin and runed by the Dragons themselves. Traditionally wielded by the greatest of the Order of Iron, and wielded in the battle against the Sorcerer King during the Cursebreaking.

Dreamsong

A weapon of a strange, shimmering metal, carved with holes along its length that are said to make it sing when swung, the Dreamsong is said to be so sharp that it can separate a man from his shadow, or cut the very barriers between worlds. Fey and otherworldly, it never seems to exist in one place - or even one story - for long. That said, its most enduring story is its use in the Cursebreaking, wielded by a vengeful song against the heart of a dragon.

Lion's Heart:

A truesteel greatsword, and the ceremonial blade of the Ruler of Tintagel, the Lion's Heart is said to make the one who weilds it impossible to kill, victorious in every combat - and to demand awe from those who see it wielded in anger. It was last seen in the hands of the Sorcerer King prior to his death during the Cursebreaking.
