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 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.
