THE
BLADE
AÉL'VÓL
("SWORD
OF THE KINGS") |
Aél'vól (Styrásh
Aél'vól,
lit.
"eye/eagle")
is a powerful enchanted sword with deep roots in Northern Sarvonia. It
was called the "Sword of the
Kings" in the ancient
Mynian Kingdom,
used by every crown member of the Royal Family from Minar II to Surian. However,
it is more commonly known among Santharians
as the compatriot of Or'injèrá and the second sword
of Dygan Heartswind.
Description.
Aél'vól is long, thin, and slightly curved. Despite its light weight, any smith
can see that the metal is incredibly strong and tolerant.
Unlike Or'injèrá, this sword is decorated with an
eagle, wings spread, on either side of the crosspiece.
Usage.
Aél'vól has two states of activity, passive and active.
In its passive state, it is an incredible sword of combat, very
useful in the Mynian
Kingdom because of the hostile environment the
kingdom was in. The sword can cut through solid marble without a nick on the
blade, and despite that being its singular power, it is an incredible one
indeed.
However, when used in combination with
Or'injèrá, it's name comes to light. As if the eyes
of an eagle observe its prey, the blade almost actively
seeks out vulnerable points on a target, as well as activiating
the magics within Or'injèrá, which would
grant the knowledge to be able to use this.
History. The martial
enchantments on this weapon are without a doubt the counterpart to the
cooperation-type enchantments on Or'injèrá, keeping
in line with the Xeuá nature of the artifact set, which
keep in line with the theory of elven forging.
The rumors among Mynian history was
that the blade was first used by Minar during the
Great Sundering, particularly at the famous battle of
Fá'áv'cál'âr. It was passed along tribal
leaders, who used the blade to fend off the orcs
that would repeatedly attack the humans.
In 2040 b.S., with the rise of the
Mynian Kingdom
and Minar II, Minar's sword was named as the "Sword of
Kings". Minar II was a noteworthy spectacle in combat, as
well as the following kings if they were ever upon the battlefield. He would
sever armor and orcflesh in a single stroke, gaining the respect of his people.
For the 400 years of the kingdom's existence, the Blade of Minar was always in
the hand of his blood descendants.
In 1649 b.S., the Year of Darkness (known to the
Mynians as the Burning Night),
when the kingdom finally fell, the blade was taken by the
Losh-Oc
orcs. There it remained in the hands of the destructive race until it was
taken in 302 b.S. by Dygan Heartswind, unknowing carrier of
Or'injèrá. As the most well-known wielder of the
Blade of Minar, it was a little ironic that he was not a blood descendant of
Minar.
