Vindicatum

One of the most famous examples of a surviving Uchaldan steel sword, Vindicatum ("instrument of vengeance") is the ancestral sword of House Partinax. It was wielded by Caherix Partinax and his daughter Amara during the Krogan Rebellions, and later by Valerio Partinax during the Taetrian Uprising of 2185 CE and Reaper War of 2186 CE. Valerio's son, Mehraxes, would go on to wield it during the Leviathan War of 2226 CE and is the current owner of the blade. 
The sword is inscribed with Uchaldan cuneiform script which reads 'Sanguis est iuramentum meum' (“blood is my oath”), the motto of House Partinax. The blade's pommel is of particular interest. One side is inlaid with red beryl in the shape of the colonial markings of Uchalda, while the reverse side is inlaid with cream moonstone in the shape of the markings of Digeris. These stones symbolise the love between Caherix Partinax and Calaea Mehrkuri, which birthed the modern-day House Partinax. It has been passed from parriarch to parriarch for the past 1,500 years.
