Truefire, The Burning Talon Blade

Truefire, also called "The Burning Talon Blade" By the Lofthaven Royal Family, is a sword in the possession of Savic Lofthaven II. It has been in the possession of his bloodline for centuries, passed down from various owners, starting with its original owner, and true master, Alora Whitby.
It is composed of a dark gold hilt, encrusted with a single yellow gemstone, and while its whitish-silver blade was once only about an inch long, it has since extended to about four inches longer, additionally bearing a mysterious inscription. The wielder can activate the blade, causing a gout of magical fire to spring forth from it.
