HiveBane

=== About ===
HiveBane is the holy sword of the bygone Lumenite race & Civilization. Carried now as a family heirloom in the Tekaya family of Eiszura. The sword itself is a longsword, a hilt of of dusty gray steel with various patterns and runes engraved. It's handle is made of a strangely durable leather-like material that is seemingly fused into the steel frame. The actual blade itself is made of a unknown dark purple material, emitting a slight luminescence. When exposed to the air, the blade exudes purple mist clouds, which vaguely resemble warped humanoid faces. This has led blacksmiths who have studied the blade to believe soul soil had some part in its materials. When the blade strikes, a deep muted screaming vibrates out from the blade. This is accompanied by the supernatural mist being exuded in larger quantities, and the faces becoming more pronounced. 
=== History ===
HiveBane's first confirmed wielder was Vlitiar Tekaya-Naruma, a Lumenite explorer turned Raiyunatti Government Official in Eldham and later Eiszura in Abexilas. Whilst the sword is now in the possession of her daughter Lufimar, the information of the sword's origins were provided by Vlitiar.
The Following is a summarized account of HiveBane's origins, as provided by Vlitiar Tekaya in 22 VE, the following is highly skeptical and often considered myth;
"In Lumenos, a few years before my homeworld's destruction, an unholy evil had brought our dimension to it's knees in an event known as the Hive Cascade. The evil was the HiveSheep, a seemingly normal red sheep, however this was just in appearances. Godion, god of all, created the HiveSheep as a living punishment for twisted souls. Deceased souls deemed unworthy of a place at Godion's court were forced into the sheep's body, unable to control anything. Doomed to be eternally tortured in the dungeons of Godion's castle. Eventually some how, the raw amount of souls had coalesced into one unified hivemind, managing to overpower the the sheep brain it was saddled with. Drawing from the strength and power of millions of souls in itself, the HiveSheep managed to escape, seeking to absorb all sentient life of the multiverse into itself. Godion, weakened by the HiveSheep in battle, in his forever genius, forged HiveBane, it's blade crafted with the ability to absorb and trap the souls of those it slews. Eventually at the peak of the Hive Cascade, as entire dimensions fell into the HiveSheep, the great hero Sereuin Dolianar, equipped with HiveBane and flanked by their great comrades, plunged HiveBane into the chest of the HiveSheep. The HiveSheep dissipated into atoms, it's twisted souls confined in a new host. 
After Sereuin's disappearance, the Triarchy granted HiveBane to me on my critical mission to locate the old Lumenite Hub ruins in Eldham, to which I've kept it with me since."
