Artifacts of Ithia: The Herald of the Trueborn.

Legendary Artifact: The Herald of the Trueborn. 

Appearance: The Herald is hammered from divine steel, the iron pulled from the blood of every human who has died in preservation of humanity. Hammered into it is the divine blood of Mealis, Zatolen, Ondra, Paladar, and Vutha. Every fold of steel was sung with songs of bravery, of strength, of persistence, the founding stories of mankind, and every defiant hero who stood against the darkness. The Herald is not just a fancy sword; it is not merely powerful; it is the embodied hope, strength, and screaming defiance against the endless darkness, a pinpoint of light in the infinite planes. It is mankind made steel and honed to an edge. 

Phenomenal Traits:   

Divine Radiance: On command, this weapon radiates divine fire, allowing it to cut through stone like a plasma lance. It allows the sword to wound the incorporeal, kill creatures that normally would not die, like Demons, and light the path you walk. 

Sword of Man: No inhuman thing can wield this sword. So long as even one human strives, seeks to keep, preserve, and empower man above all others, this weapon will not dull; it will not wear; it will not break. The strong man becomes the strong this sword shall be. 

Memory Steel: When a human takes up this sword, it shifts; its handle flows to perfectly fit your hands. Its balance adjusts to fit your strength and style, and its shape adjusts to what you’re used to.
