Old Mettle

Old Mettle, also known as "The Blade of Forged Remnants", is the sword Yunli uses. It was forged from a cursed sword billet by Yunli herself when undergoing training under Huaiyan.
==Appearance==
Old Mettle is a huge sword. It is tall, wide and thick much like a greatsword, yet the hilt is normal sized making the sword look disproportionate. It doesn't have a point making the sword very rectangular. In its idle state, the bottom of the blade is colored teal but it gradually changes color the further up the blade goes, until it is Wine Red. However Yunli can "activate" her sword, making it glowing iron-hot red with the top of the sword glowing yellow. The hilt and crossguard is dark gold with the handle having white bandages wrapped around it. A cubical metal charm is attached on the bottom of the blade (the pommel).
==History==
Before coming into Yunli's hands, the sword frame was in her father Hanguang's workshop. He never came around to forging it as he was busy with the cursed swords. When Yunli fled from the Flamewheel Forge and became a disciple under Huaiyan, she forged the sword instead.
The blade has seen the cursed swords, just as Yunli has and now she and Old Mettle hunt the cursed swords. After she has found, destroyed and melted a cursed sword, she infuses it with Old Mettle which explains its other name "Blade of Forged Remnants." Despite having won other swords, Yunli has always decided to stick with Old Mettle as her weapon of choice.
