Mortal Sword

A Mortal Sword was a god's mortal defender, a manifestation of the god's own sword. Along with the Shield Anvil and the Destriant, it formed the mortal triumvirate which represented a particular faith. The Mortal Sword seemed to take military and overall command of a god's reve.
Quick Ben claimed the title existed since before to the analogous position of Knight was added within the High Houses in the Deck of Dragons.Memories of Ice, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.247
