Holy Swords of the Holy

Holy Sword (#15/30, #167/365) [EA:V2] (Artefact) 

This is a glimmering broad-bladed two-handed sword with many magical powers, that only work if the Holy Sword is wielded by the hands of a Good Hero: 

  • It glows with a white radiance, as per the Glimmer cantrip, in the presence of Evil
  • Adds +1 SKILL combat
  • Heals +6 STAMINA once per day
  • Flames with burning white fire and adds +1 to the Damage Roll versus Demons, Undead or Chaos creatures.
Holy Swords are typically wielded by Crusaders, Paladins and Templars, such as the White Knights of the Twisted Bridge in northern Allansia, or the Templars of Ruddlestone. Perhaps the most famous example in recent history was the Paladin Ueganon Silverblade of Shabak's fabled Holy Defenders, who used his Holy Sword to defeat the Chaos Champion Agissius the Unclean, wielder of an evil Sword of the Iron Demon (see Encyclopedia Arcana: Volume 1, p. 149), atop the walls of Bakulan. Ueganon survived the siege and was entombed several peaceful decades later with his Holy Sword, though some claim it is but a copy, and the real blade lies hidden elsewhere.
