Hust sword

Hust swords were made in the forges of Hust Hold in the realm of Kurald Galain. According to Yedan Derryg, they were capable of shearing all other blades in two.Dust of Dreams, Chapter 21 These swords were quenched in the blood of dragons; being forged to be able to slay Eleint if necessary.The Crippled God, Chapter 12
These swords were reportedly 'immortal', i.e., immune to damage, decay, or deterioration. If Hust swords did become damaged, they could heal themselves, given time. 
Hust swords could sense anyone of Eleint blood (including the Soletaken) who might be nearby. This 'recognition' did not apply to their owners, who could be of Eleint blood and still use these weapons.The Crippled God, Chapter 16
Hust blades protected their wielders from exhaustion, magic and mundane attacks. The swords also enhanced their owners' sword-fighting capabilities by 'fusing' with their wielders. This 'fusing', however, could result in extreme injury to the person fighting, as some extreme actions could be well beyond the physical limits of the wielder.
Hust weapons were known to be possessed, laughing and shrieking with glee as they slaughtered whoever dared to face them in battle.
