A legendary sword forged at the end of the Twilight War during the Age of Chaos by the blacksmith Auric Kirandi, an elf and compatriot of [[Fortune Renata]]. Seeking to turn the tides of the war, he approached the Seven Spirits, and requested their aid in making it the most powerful blade the world had ever known. They responded by putting fragments of their lifeforce into it, causing it to become dull despite an appearance of razor sharpness, but also created an eighth familiar, Rugiviet, a huge seven-headed man. As Fortune was a summoner, the first successful one in many eons, this was seen as a great boon. However, Rugiviet proved to be too hard for Fortune to control, and she wound up losing control of him in an important battle against a magician named Declan Briar, one of the lead conspirators in manipulating the war. Briar was able to seize control of Rugiviet, and caused such great damage to the world that it began an extremely slow slide into environmental ruin, causing the Spirits to eventually create the Seeds and Fragments in order to both repair the damage, and protect the world from being devastated again. In the end, Fortune retrieved the sword and defeated Briar, and the war ended. But the aforementioned damage was irreversible by their efforts, and Fortune blamed herself for it. She used the sword just once to help end the war, and afterwards, returned it to its rightful owner, Auric. He stored it safely away until near the end of the Age of Discord and the beginning of the Thousand Year War, when Salvia di Ricia asked him to hand it over to the Seeds for safekeeping during the conflict she claimed to see brewing on the horizon. She indeed wanted to keep it away from the battlefields, but Auric was mistrustful of her true intentions, and refused, saying that he himself would take care of it. Unwilling to accept that, she sent soldiers to the house where he resided with his wife, Selia, and both were left for dead afterwards, hanging onto life by a fragile thread thanks to the swift efforts of their friend and former comrade Halden Brinley, who had been warned, along with their other friend Solia Dechance, by Fortune that something was happening to their friends. She had intended to visit them that very day, and looked into the future to see a good time to drop by... only to see them being brutally attacked and the sword seized. As Halden, Solia, and Fortune's lover Arien Dellars took care of the comatose Auric and Selia, Fortune looked into the future again, to see where the sword was being taken. She conceived of a plot to let it be wrested from the Seeds' hands by Ashira and the others - something Salvia had intended all along, for she wanted to draw out her foes and trap them, thus allowing her to rid herself of them without bringing war to the entire world - and then reclaim it in Chrystania. She was unable to successfully reclaim it there, but came into possession of it later on, in the failed attack on Asgard, the city of the Sanctuary. She summoned Rugiviet there, as a last act of desperation in order to open an exit for her allies, and decided afterwards that that was the course she would take from then: use it if she absolutely had to, in order to help remove the Seeds from power. She felt that she could never really make up for her loss of control before, and felt confident in her ability to wield it successfully, but didn't want to take unnecessary chances. She never used it again, however, as the need for it never arose. She and Auric consented to letting it be held in safekeeping for her by the Fragments of Chaos in the event that she did need it, but things never became desperate enough that she felt the need to unleash Rugiviet again. But a rash action by the youngest Fragment brought whatever future career the sword may have had to an abrupt end. Near the end of the war, Eithne Minari took the sword from its safekeeping spot with her to the floating city of Dranphir on her mission to liberate it from Seed forces. However, she was unable to control Rugiviet, and he went into a berserk rage that was responsible for her death and that of many others, and finally the destruction of the city itself as it plunged into the ocean. The Desolate Sky went with it, and no one has seen the sword since, as no one will dare venture into the sunken ruins of the city for it. Some believe the place is cursed, others believe it is holy... but either way, no one will set foot in it.
